Sony Computer Entertainment Starts Their OLP or Official License Program
You had the made for iPod program from Apple which clearly stated it works perfectly with an iPod giving Apple some extra cash from accessories sales… And now you will have the OLP from Sony and its “Official Licensed Product” logo… That will soon appear on many accessories dedicated for the PS3, PSP/PSPgo and PS2.
The PDF we just received from SCEI doesn’t give to many details, but it seems Sony is on the way like Apple to t controlling all accessories for their products to give end users the most of each thing they purchase and also for Sony to get some revenue from their new licensing system…. Does this mean that one day Sony will lock-out non officially licensed products from your PSP or PS3?
Update : Official English Press Release below….
