Sony PSP owners get first batch of Playstation games

Sony PSP owners in the North America can get their hands on some of the original Playstation games for their handheld console.

Sony has made available these games on the Playstation network and gamers can download them using their Playstation 3 consoles and transfer them to the PSP using a cable.

There are currently five titles available for download: Crash Bandicoot, Cool Boarders, Hot Shots Golf 2, Syphon Filter and Tekken 2. Sony is selling these for US $5.99.

However, the disappointing part is that these games are not designed to use the PSP’s Wi-Fi functionality to allow multiplayer gaming.

Gamers are also disappointed that they currently need a PS3 to get access to these games. Sony has said that they plan to launch a PSP specific network, which would allow the gamers to download games directly to a memory stick.
