Sony may be looking forward once again with it partnership with 3rd party publishers. They have announced that Capcom will be getting a PSN styled store front to distribute their digital game content.
You will be able to find themes, wallpaper, demos and more. According to Edge-Online this was Sony's idea to give Capcom a storefront. This has the potential to give fans easier access to the games and publishers they love. At the same time it gives the publishers a great way to keep their products in front of the consumers. This is the new digital mall where if you see something in the window you like, it's very likely you'll go in and buy something.
If you haven't yet go and update your psp to firmware 5.00. This is the firmware that will allow you to access the PSN store via WiFi. This is a great video showing how the store will work and what you can do.

Penny Arcade Adventures has been seen on the XBLA for some time now and it is finally about time that the game has made it over to the PSN. The Official PlayStation Blog has details on why it took so long for this game to make it over to the PSN. Although it is not really something that PS3 owners like to see it is nice that the game will finally be making its way to the PSN.
Here is a quote from the post: "The game’s classic comic book look and feel was so well-received when Episode One was first released, it was critical to us to retain that element in bringing the game to a new platform. It truly looks amazing with the PlayStation 3’s graphics, and should be well worth the wait . . ."
Pretty good news for PS3 owners with no credit cards. This is something that I know first hand that the PlayStation needs badly. This will be a good way for moms and dads that know nothing about what games to buy or how to give someone something they want that is on the PSN. This is just in time for Christmas.
According to the official US PlayStation website, three new retail outlets will start carrying PSN cards in September: Blockbuster, 7-Eleven, and Riteaid.
