SYDNEY, 25 February 2009 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.)
today announced a huge and colourful year for its PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable)
handheld entertainment system with the arrival of some big-name titles in 2009 for
Australia. LittleBigPlanet™ and MotorStorm®, previously only available on
PLAYSTATION®3, will be coming to PSP this year, joining the ranks of popular
PlayStation® franchises such as the ever entertaining Buzz!™
Those who like to give their mind a workout and their creativity an outlet will find
themselves enchanted by the unique world of LittleBigPlanet which allows players to
create their own levels and share them with the community. Petrol-heads with a taste
for danger can experience the wild world of MotorStorm: Arctic Edge. The brutal offroad
racing game goes off-piste, with an Arctic adventure in its most extreme location
yet! And quiz maestro Buzz is back on PSP, searching for the smartest people in the
country, in Buzz! Brain of Oz. These are just the start of a stellar line-up of games
coming to PSP this year, positioning 2009 as the biggest year for PSP to date.
“There are a lot of big claims in the gaming industry but we’re confident when we say
that 2009 is going to be an exciting year for PSP,” said Raoul Bedford, Marketing
Director, SCE Aust. “Our fans have demanded big PSP titles and this year, we’re
going to deliver again and again. With Buzz! Brain of Oz and Resistance:
Retribution™, soon to be on their way to stores, PSP gamers can expect one big
franchise after another.”
