Sony opens Playstation store to Android tablets

Tie-in away from Android marketplace

Sony has launched a version of its Music Unlimited app for its Android tablets, along with a PlayStation store - allowing games, music and stuff to be purchased and downloaded to the devices.

The official PlayStation Store for 'PlayStation Certified' devices launched in nine countries. It is available immediately on Sony’s Sony Tablet S. At launch, 10 PSone games will be available on the PlayStation Store for $5.99 each.

The move is designed to woo users away from the Android Marketplace into Sony's virtual alleyways of stalls.

Sony said it is 'working closely with developers across the world' to continue to expand the variety of PlayStation games and content on Android-based PlayStation devices.
