The PlayStation Store on the PC leaves a lot to be desired, but added functionality is in the works, according to PSP store director Eric Lempel. In an interview with MTV Games, he stated that he and his team are working on an iTunes-like functionality that will automatically sync the handheld with downloaded content on the PC.

“It currently doesn’t support any functionality like that but that is a feature we’re looking into,” he said. “We want to do some testing, get consumers used to it, see how they would like things to work. We understand that a lot of the free content on there, people are interested in a good amount of it and they’ll want to just sync up, not browse.”

He also talks about direct downloads on the PSP, saying that it is a possibility. “It’s just a matter of priorities and some technology that we need to make it all work right and make sure the content is delivered securely, just to protect some of our [intellectual properties].”

Lempel also stressed the importance of exclusive content, such as the now-available Syphon Filter: Combat Ops. “You’ll be seeing a lot more content coming on there in the near future that is made exclusively for the PSP and isn?t available anywhere else,” he stated.
