So... right. The PSN is not a UMD killer. So they say. But that's not stopping Sony Japan from re-releasing their PSP Best Hits lineup in the PlayStation Store. Announced via the official PlayStation Japan website, the following Greatest Hits titles will be available on PSN Japan come December 11:

• Ape Escape: Saru Saru Daisakusen
• Echochrome

Both games will be available for JP¥ 2,200 (a little over US$ 20). This actually comes in cheaper because the UMD versions of both games are being sold for JP¥ 2,800 a pop (about US$ 30).

Again, despite one media being cheaper than the other, a UMD killer the PSN is not. So they say.

Options, options, options; this seems to be the overall theme that Sony and the other publishers (like D3Publisher and Capcom) want to give to the consumer - different options in which people can gain access to their games.
