Everything you need to know about a new category of PSP content available from PlayStation Store.
What is minis?
It's a category on PlayStation Store that contains smaller, snackable games for PSP that are quick to download, easy to pick up and play and perfectly suited to gaming on the go.
How long do the games take to download?
This will vary depending on the title and is largely dependent on your Internet connection. However, minis have a maximum file size of 100MB, so downloads should not take long at all.
How much will they cost?
Like much of the content on PlayStation Store, pricing is determined by the publisher and may vary, although it will be in keeping with the ethos of smaller, accessible content.
How regularly will new games be added?
There are around 15 titles available at launch, with approximately 50 set to arrive by the end of 2009. The rate and regularity of updates going forward is, once again, largely dependant on publishers.
Will the section include any recognisable titles?
Well-known classics, such as Tetris, available from launch, as well as brand new games and titles seen on other platforms, such as mobile phones.
Will we ever see user-generated content released via minis?
One of the factors making minis possible is a recent reduction in PSP development costs. This opens up the platform to smaller development teams; however, these teams are still made up of professional game developers.
Will minis be available on all PSP systems?
Yes, minis is launching alongside PSPgo and is available on all PSP systems, providing you have a Memory Stick, access to a Wireless Internet connection and a PlayStation Network account.
