I know, the title is a ridiculous amount of 3-letter acronyms but I just couldn’t help myself. But if you haven’t managed to decipher what it all means, here’s the scoop.

PLAYSTATION Network Collection Packs allow PSP owners the opportunity to purchase previously download-only titles on UMD. Packs are themed and combine a winning formula of quality titles – giving you three great games to choose from, all on one disc and all at a fantastic price. There’s a whole series to collect, and whether you’re into puzzles, shoot’em up games or adventure titles, you’ll definitely find a pack that will suit you.

Puzzle Pack combines PLAYSTATION Network’s best brain-busting challenges in a fantastic on-the-go package, perfect for those travelling or commuting to and from work. Use your strategic skills to save cute furry creatures in the classic Lemmings™, crack your way through classic puzzles in Go! Puzzle, and get addicted to Go! Sudoku.

If you prefer thrills and spills to puzzle-solving, you’ll love the second addition to PLAYSTATION Network Collection Packs, Power Pack. Indulge yourself in a three-part escapade of underwater exploration in flOw, combat action with Syphon Filter: Combat Ops and musical creation with Beats.

Here’s the first PLAYSTATION®Network Collection Packs line-up:
