D3 goes downloadable on PSP

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Sep 9, 2008 9:55 am PT

Puzzle Quest, Dead Head Fred, WTF, and more set for sale over PlayStation Store for PC between $10 and $15.

Sony's Universal Media Disc format hasn't taken off as a format of choice for movies on the go, and the PlayStation Portable-exclusive format is becoming increasingly optional for games on the go as well. The latest evidence of that came this week as D3Publisher announced its plans to release a selection of its PSP catalog for download over the PlayStation Store later this month.

In North America, D3 is breaking the titles up between two price points. For $14.99 apiece, PSP gamers will be able to download the company's breakthrough hit Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords, the comic-horror actioner Dead Head Fred, and PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2. At the $9.99 point, gamers can download older or less prominent titles like the puzzler Cube, minigame collection WTF: Work Time Fun, and the original PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient.

European gamers will receive a slightly different selection of titles. D3 will be offering Puzzle Quest, Cube, Dead Head Fred, and Practical IQ (the European edition of PQ2), but gone are the original PQ and WTF. In their place, Old World gamers will get the Arkanoid-style Beta Bloc and the self-explanatory Super Pocket Tennis. Release dates and price points for the European games were not announced, but they are expected to be available beginning this month.

Release dates for the North American games are as follows:

September 18
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
Cube

October 2
WTF: Work Time Fun
PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient

October 16
PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2
Dead Head Fred

    Too bad I sold my Psp, I sold it when there was a huge game drought that lasted about 2 years, but then quite a few games came out that I wanted to get including some that are going to be coming out, so maybe I might pick up the "psp 300" or w/e the name was.

    i think once sony sees downloadable games is the future--and this will help the psp and ps3 sale more systems--if they would offer more games more mainstream ones they will see this is the future---i would like to see 20 to 30 bucks a month to download and play unlimited games a month-----like rhapsody and napster does music--this would be sweet

    Here's to hoping they offer Puzzle Quest as a PS3 downloadable as well... it's available everywhere else, after all.

    Thanks for the info, Peng. Next time I try to buy something, I'll see if I can just add the appropriate funds to whatever I have in my wallet. The site's a little clunky, which is probably why I ended-up spending more money than I wanted to.
