No multiplayer PSP Minis
We first heard of the iPhone app-esque PSP Minis back at Gamescom but other than the fact that they would be small downloadable games, we don’t know much. Today, however, recent reports bring us news that the PSP Minis will be single player only and will not feature support for downloadable content. So, those of you who hoped to play a Tetris PSP Mini remake with your buddys over the internet will have to seek alternative options.
Then again, iPhone apps are generally single player with DLC compatibility added only recently and they still sell like hot cakes. We’ll have to wait and see if the PSP Minis share the same success.

Sony prepping free PSP Minis dev kits?
One of the biggest gripes gamers usually have against the PSP is its lack of a strong game library. However, if recent reports are to be believed Sony may have a few tricks up their sleeve to remedy that.
One of those tricks is the possibility of free PSP Minis developer kits which would give a much larger group of developers access to the service. News comes to us from a recent interview done with Sony Europe’s Zeno Colaco where he was questioned about the possibility of a free dev kit, to which he responded:
“Further down the line, we may investigate a totally free model or supported model.”
However, Colaco says, having a free dev kit isn’t all peaches:
“There are dangers in having total open access; having six thousand applications where probably only thirty are discovered by the consumer. Some of the developers working on the App Store and PSP Minis tell us that they prefer our approach because they get more visibility.”
