The list of titles due for release to coincide with the European launch of Sony’s eagerly-awaited PSP (PlayStation Portable) console in September is continuing to grow.
The company’s foray into the handheld gaming market will be able to play movies in UMD format.
Sony’s delay of the PSP’s release in the UK means that the array of films available immediately for gamers has burgeoned and now includes a selection of music titles from Sanctuary Visual Entertainment (SVE), including Iron Maiden – Rock in Rio, followed at a later date by INXS – Live Baby Live and Bob Marley – Live from Santa Barbara, Tech Digest reports.
The PSP features a 4.3’ LCD screen on which gamers will be able to play David Lynch classics Dune and Blue Velvet from SVE from the console’s launch date, while a selection of titles already released in the US will also be available.
The wealth of titles already available in the United States in UMD format include Da Ali G Show, Sin City, Pulp Fiction, Ghostbusters, American Pie, Team America, Batman — The Movie and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
