So you can patch Minis, but we won’t have multiplayer functions in the beginning. Basically, to get these developers on board, and to make it easier to test and get it through the pipeline, we won’t be allowing that functionality for the first stage of Minis. It’s something we will consider in the future.

Sony’s PSP Minis service is due to launch along with the PSP Go on October 1.

• Sony to support PSP Minis devs all the way “unlike with the App Store”, free PSP SDK may come in the future
