In December, PlayStation’s U.S. director of network operations, Eric Lempel, told me that bringing the widely praised PS3 downloadable twin-stick shooter “Everyday Shooter” “would be great on the PSP.”

Today Sony confirmed that it would be so great that it’s going to happen. Buried in the press release from Sony Computer Entertainment of America announcing the new PSP-3000 model is a description of a new 4GB Memory Entertainment pack that ships in November and includes a voucher for a downloadable copy of “Everyday Shooter.”

Why, Sony press release, would you offer PSP shoppers a voucher for a PS3 game?

The press release explains: “The title is available for PLAYSTATION(R)3 and will be making its debut for PSP. Download Everyday Shooter for PSP from PLAYSTATION Store to your Memory Stick PRO Duo with the included voucher.”

Thank you press release, but please be more specific next time.

And analog acolytes take heed, “ES” creator Jonathan Mak told me long ago that his game is really not meant to be played with twin sticks but with two sets of digital buttons, one set under each thumb. The PSP offers that set-up perfectly.
