Sony lays out PSN awards slate
Fan vote to determine cream of 2011's downloadable PS3 and PSP crop; winners to go on sale for 30 to 50 percent off starting next week.
Sony's PlayStation Network Gamers' Choice Awards is giving fans a chance to honor their favorite downloadable titles of the last year, or make the ones they haven't tried yet a bit cheaper to acquire.
Sony today unveiled the nominees for the 2012 PSN Gamers' Choice Awards, intended to honor the best downloadable PlayStation 3 and PSP games of the last year. All 10 categories will be determined by fan voting through the PlayStation Store, and the winners will go on sale next week.
