PlayStation Store for PC Updated, Now Requires Stand-alone Software
by Blake Ellison, Oct 28, 2008 11:15am PDTThe PSP firmware update released earlier this month allows owners of Sony's handheld to directly access the PlayStation Store for the first time, but for those who enjoyed the old-school way of browsing from a PC, good news: the PlayStation Store for PC is back.
There's bad news, however. The updated PC store now requires stand-alone software in the form of Sony's Media Manager software.
Previous versions of Media Manager have served as an iTunes-like tool for the PSP, allowing users to sync up music, photos and videos with their systems, while they bought content from the PlayStation Store directly from the Web. But the latest version of Media Manager has taken another iTunes-ish step and integrated Sony's store directly into the software.
Media Manager 3.0 is a free download, but it's Windows-only and does not support 64-bit versions of Windows, whether XP or Vista.

Shouldn't it just be downloading some data and writing some files to the PSP, which appears just like a USB drive? If so you shouldn't even need a 64-bit version of the app to do that; the 32-bit code should work as-is. What the heck is it doing, I wonder?
I hope to god that Media Manager wasn't written by the useless idiots who wrote Sonic Stage and Sony Connect, the two pieces of software which utterly destroyed Sony's otherwise excellent DAP hardware before they rightly scrapped the software (but also, sadly, stopped making decent DAPs, IMO).
