Rumor alert: all PSP games in 2009 will be available as downloads, more

So apparently the Kojima FPS and DMC-style Strider game weren’t the only rumors in EGM‘s latest issue. NeoGAF member SuperSonic1305 let us in on a few more rumors, including one that could have quite an effect on PSP gaming.

So apparently the Kojima FPS and DMC-style Strider game weren’t the only rumors in EGM‘s latest issue. NeoGAF member SuperSonic1305 let us in on a few more rumors, including one that could have quite an effect on PSP gaming.

Perhaps the biggest rumor is that all of the PSP games that will be released next year will also be made available as downloads. That’s official downloads, not Torrents. While publishers can probably save a lot of money by going digital, I don’t think they’re willing to give up physical discs this soon. It might be part of Sony‘s plans to ramp up PSP sales, though.

Here’s a list of the other rumors in the latest EGM:

• Lucas Arts handing Rogue Squadron rights to new publisher. All games released on one Wii disk with enhanced visuals and Wii controls
• Fast domestic release of the Disgaea side scroller
• non-Sony property LittleBigPlanet DLC coming very soon including Disney and characters from 3rd party games

• Koller: PSP software decline to reverse by 2009
• Quartermann rumors: new Strider Hiryu game; Hideo Kojima FPS?
• Okay’ed as main character: Prinny PSP confirmed for North America
