Official Blog post:

I’m excited to share some breaking news with you, our loyal PlayStation.Blog readers. In his last post, Peter Dille promised a major focus on the PLAYSTATION Network and exclusive gaming content available on the PLAYSTATION Store. Today, we take the next step in its continued evolution.

The PLAYSTATION Store for the PC is a free service that allows PSP owners to access a new world of gaming and entertainment content through the PLAYSTATION Network. Best of all, this new service lets PSP users establish a PLAYSTATION Network account and purchase content directly from the PlayStation Store for the PC.

The new PlayStation Store for the PC marks the first time that we’ve made the PLAYSTATION Network accessible to the millions of PSP owners who don’t own a PLAYSTATION 3. PSP owners can now use their existing or newly created PLAYSTATION Network account to access a variety of free content including the latest demos of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike, the latest addition to the popular SOCOM franchise and Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow, the highly anticipated sequel to Gabe Logan’s Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for the PSP.

In addition to regularly expanding access to our library of new PSP games, we will be releasing titles that will be available only from the PLAYSTATION Store, including: Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, the next installation in the Syphon Filter franchise.

PS one® Classic titles will be available from Day 1 on the PlayStation Store for the PC including favorites such as WipEout and Crash Bandicoot, with many more on the way. PLAYSTATION Store for the PC users will also find add-on game content, trailers for forthcoming titles, promotional videos and PSP themes.

To access the PLAYSTATION Store via your PC, simply visit http://store.playstation.com and follow the on-screen instructions. We know that you will probably have questions, so we’ve created this video demonstrating the flow of the Store.

Video demonstration as well.

You can also log in with your PSNID info and manage your account info and more. You can't check your messages though.

They just put the site up for us Northern Americans and Europeans.

Looks pretty good, images could be sharper but they're are currently in the process of loading it up with the same content that we get on our PS3.

I've already logged in and downloaded a few things.

Would've been so much more successful if it had stayed in the PS3 section Yeah, it's main function is used to get content on the psp without the need for the PS3 but you can modify your PSN account and I'm sure PS3 demo's will make an appearance on the website as well. Oh well, thread will die in here.

I've been there once looks pretty cool, but right now I'm to busy downloading games on my ps3 to give it a try.

If you don't want to hook a keyboard up to your PS3 it's easy to update your address & billing details on there.

Thanks for the info! I had no idea that the PC store was online till I saw this post.
