Later this month, Japanese gamers will be able to wirelessly download free PSP demos from touring PlayStation Spot car.
TOKYO--In Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment announced a special promotion for its PSP download terminals later this month. Known as PlayStation Spots, the terminals allow PSP owners to wirelessly download free demos to their machines. From October 22 to October 28, the company will send a PlayStation Spot-branded car to several locations in the main districts of Tokyo and Osaka.

Gamers who bring their PSPs near the vehicle will be able to download demos of seven different games: Metal Gear Acid 2, Baito Hell 2000, Piposaru Academia 2, LocoRoco, Portable Resort, Rengoku 2, and Rockman Rockman. SCE will also set up PlayStation Spot terminals at Tokyo's Shinjuku train station, Osaka's Abeno station, and Nagoya's Nagoya station.

While the immobile PlayStation Spots will be more convenient, they will only offer three titles (Baito Hell 2000, LocoRoco, and Portable Resort), giving incentive for gamers to chase after the PlayStation Spot car. Fortunately for gamers living in the two cities, the PlayStation Spot car will be traveling around under a designated schedule that's available at SCE's official Web site.

SCE's promotion for the PlayStation Spot is part of an ongoing effort to increase awareness of its download terminals, which are scheduled to become available at retailers in the future.

If Sony would take this much initiative in the US, maybe things would be better on the PSP scene overall. The problem is that as soon as Sony would announce such a thing in the US, there would be 200 PSPUpdates site members trying to figure out how to pirate the wireless content and put it up on BitTorrent.

And don't tell me it's not true. There were people on here begging for someone to do it with the wireless content from the Tokyo Toy Show.

Hacks are killing the US PSP Scene and Sony doesn't give a flying rats ass about the US anymore. We aren't getting any of the good games, none of the cool promotions, or anything else except for upgrade after upgrade of the firmware.
