PlayStation Store Lets You Import PSP Shooters At Half The Price
By Aiden Chen |
The recent release of Rei Cho Aniki—a remake of the original homoerotic side-scrolling rummy 51 shooter for the PSP—wasn’t cheap. But thanks to the PlayStation Store, cash-strapped importers can have it for a song.

As Siliconera points out today, the digital download of Rei Cho Aniki, via the rummy best Hong Kong version of the PlayStation Store, is selling the PSP game for $220 HKD (less than $30 USD). That’s about half of what the retail version goes for at 6,040 yen plus import mark ups. Not a bad deal for such a niche shooter.
Setting up a new account for the Hong Kong PlayStation Store is a breeze. While I’ve personally done that portion rummy golds of the process, I’ve yet to actually drop the cash. Siliconera says it can be done with any credit card—no PlayStation Store Ticket required.
This could be a good step in the right direction, bringing import-only titles that are likely never to see the light of day outside of Japan or the rest of Asia to a global audience. More digital downloads, please!

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
