Sony is in preliminary talks with music publishers to offer song downloads to users on PlayStation Network (PSN). While this will be targeted majorly at PSP users, the probable and logical extension will be to offer the same to PS3 users as well. This move from Sony can be viewed as tit for tat to tackle Apple’s iPhone, which predominantly is known for music but offers decent gaming experience, in short barging in PSP’s territory.
As mentioned before, the talks are in preliminary stages so there’s nothing concrete but since Sony has its own music label, kickstarting the service alone and showing its true potential to others wouldn’t be a bad choice.
The service is expected to come along with the launch of next gen PSP that is rumored to ditch the UMD and adopt a digital way to download content.
