Funny thing about PSM: All games released so far are from Euro and Japanese Devs. SCEA dev outreach = fail
Minis all over again (minus JP dev support)
US devs would screw people over with the pricing anyways. Can't wait to see what Cut the Rope or Angry Birds is priced at.
The pricing will be fine, they'll just make you buy a separate version for each different device you want to play it on.

Yes, it can get devilish hard latter on.
Bugger, the Xperia T not supported
Oh Sony, you so silly.

I remember seeing that on Steam Greenlight and thought it looked cool.
Luckily it is one of the ones included in the JP launch. That and Rebel look kind of interesting to me.
And Eufloria of course.

While I agree with that logic, at the same time virtually all Minis developers have stopped developing Minis.
Laughing Jackal and Futurlab jumped onto PSMobile (so did Honeyslug, but they had only published 1 Mini years ago)
Beatshapers has 3 Minis left, then they're quitting.
Mediatonic has jumped to XBLA
Sanuk Games jumped off last year. They supposedly had a Vita title in the works, but I don't know what they were doing. So did Frima, they have Zombie Tycoon 2 upcoming as a full blown Vita/PS3 PSN title
Other than Alawar and SNK, who are rather mysterious about their upcoming plans, those guys were responsible for most and the most notable Minis.
There were a couple of universities that developed Minis (like the recently released and criminally ignored BounceBack), I suppose if they bought the kits they might continue to use them, but I wouldn't be surprised if they switched to PSM.

What about the V? Probably neither.

Bugger, the Xperia T not supported
And i was thinking i should have gotten Xperia U since it will certainly be supported
But still if Xperia Play with 1 core cpu can support it why newer sony phones cannot ?
lols SCEA Vita support
Bugger, the Xperia T not supported
I've tried on Xperia S, later i will try on Xperia U and Tablet S.
According to Sony website T is PSM certified. What's going on?

I hope it can be done in Vita too to map buttons into touchscreen.
Nope you can't.
Games work fine on Tablet S, although Aqua Kitty is like half the framerate.

How do you actually access the store from smartphones and tablets? Is is done through the PSN app or is it a separate app?

In the future then.

Tim Rogers mentioned experimenting with Ziggurat stuff on the Vita on the Insert Credit podcast a while back.
Why would you want to duplicate the physical buttons the Vita has with on screen versions?

It is.
OP needs to add the Xperia T/TX/TL/GX and Xperia Tablet S to the list of supported devices.
Edit, here's the full list from Sony:

Xperia Play is supported, but HTC Desire HD is not, even though it has the same chipset and resolution
Why is it not up in the Netherlands yet.
Why is it not up in the Netherlands yet.
I guess that means I won't be playing it on my Vita ever, as it's unlikely to come out in Japan

Seriously addictive. I woke up this morning at 5am , jet lagged and played it for about 3 hours
30 in launch "window" maybe

I post that without thinking much about it. If the game launch to Vita the game will support the use of sticks or buttons if it fits into it, so it didn't have much sense.
I was thinking something about a FPS game with touch controls to use the sticks.
With all the variations of device, I'm going to guess not all of them are 'out-of-the-box' ready for PSM, and need software updates.
Given that this seems like a very 'soft' launch, it's unsurprising (though disappointing) if they don't have a co-ordinated update plan for all the devices from day one. I guess they'll come soon though.
edit - although this sounds promising-ish. Ideally automatic installation would happen on all the devices, but I imagine it's only some Sony ones:

What, the Vita one? That's weird. Is Finland not covered by Google? We do have the Youtube app, at least (not on the PS3 mind you, I don't think that's out anywhere in Europe yet - I downloaded it from the US store though and it runs great)
My country, The Netherlands, 8th economy of the world I think, isn't in there yet either.
For many things I will understand if it is problematic to release it in other countries, but I will not forgive Sony if this will be one of them. I know they intend to have this out everywhere, and I think basically any country that the iOS App Store serves, Playstation Mobile should serve as well. If not, I'll be very very pissed. Hopefully it won't take too long.

I dont think the PS3 version is available either. I downloaded the PS3 one from my US account sure, but Vita does not have similar multi-account functionality.
That was just one example though, also waiting on the video-store that was "being rolled out to other countries" back in 2010 or something
Just so annoying that these services get announced and released but only in select countries and we are not even told how long and why we have to wait :/

One of PS Mobile's benefits is seamless, standard support for physical controls. It's smart enough to use the buttons or sticks if present, or present equivalent on screen controls where required.
Maybe you are right.

Yep, it's such a bummer. Was really excited yesterday evening and then I woke up today and remembered we're not getting it. We could get it some time early next year or never. SCEE works in mysterious ways.

i wonder if its because of some slow asshat at Nordisk Film or who is responsible for these slow localization issues. Who can we send our complains to fix these issues
One thing I was curious about was how many of the games would be unique to PSM in an Android context.
Think only two of the initial games are on the Android Marketplace? Tractor Trails and Magic Arrows.
Will be interesting to see how distinct the offerings remain if and when volume ramps up. I guess the dev environment currently is discouraging ports though.

Super Crate Box with buttons is sooooo good. At this point I'm convinced the Vita is the most versatile handheld ever. Love it.
Well if you look at the Amazon store or Xperia play store it should give you an indication I think. Although that seems completely random tbh (Jetpack Took a long ass time to jump from the Amazon store. Cod Zombies thing was like a month or so)

The way it is being pitched to developers is, "sell your iOS games/apps on Android without fear of piracy", I guess eventually they will allow all the major apps on as well if it takes off and people prefer to use the PSN store rather than Play (which seems unlikely).
They'd be stupid to launch with a ton of ports, really
I hope it does stay that way though./another "feature" for the sony network thats never being released in Finland

Yep. Portugal also is one bastard child of the SEN. Maybe our money is not good enough for Sony.
