Not that I thought it ever would. I'm keeping my old PSP for haxing anyway. What use do I have for the Playstation store on an old PSP when the shiny new one gets everything off there anyway. Also apparently there is a plan for European buyers, and hopefully US, to give you three free games if you register for it with an old PSP online and then "upgrade" to the new one. And of course by upgrade, they mean don't upgrade and get three free games anyway. Well, that's what I mean.
