Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Quietly Removes Ability to Download PSP/PS One Games Unlocked a Few Days Ago on PS Vita

I just bought a Vita yesterday and there are some PSP games that I'd like to play... Is it still possible to buy and download them via PS3 and transfer them to the Vita?

hopefully they activate it again without to have to pay again for it.
because now we know it would work ...



"Unfortunately it’s time to mourn, as that ability was quietly removed this morning. None of those games is available for download anymore."

Goddamn this, I always see sensationalist stuff like this from him. You can buy the games from the PS3 store and they will appear on your Vita download list.

Sony Quietly Removes Ability to Download PSP/PS One Games Unlocked a Few Days Ago on PS Vita

by Giuseppe Nelva (52 minutes ago) 4 

A few days ago we reported about Sony suddenly unlocking a large amount of PSP games and PlayStation Classics for download and play on the PS Vita.

Unfortunately it’s time to mourn, as that ability was quietly removed this morning. None of those games is available for download anymore.

Luckily, those that we did download still work, making us wonder why Sony doesn’t just officially implement the feature, instead of keeping that wealth of content locked away from PS Vita users.

Sony Computer Entertainment did not respond to inquiries about the issue, and didn’t offer any explanation on why the games have been unlocked to begin with and then re-locked, but at this stage the most probable theory is that someone flipped by mistake a trigger that was not supposed to be flipped.

Title bait, why are you not putting the entire title of the article in your thread title? You have more than enough space to cover it. They are not removing the ability to download all PS1/PSP games.

Seems to be ok to me.. Sony removed the ability to download Directly PSP/PS1 games on PS Vita...

You want "Directly" added to the title?

Argh, it's a shame. But it was fairly obvious that this was a mistake and it was only a matter of time until it was removed. Similarly, it's surely only a matter of time until it's implemented properly. I'd imagine it'll happen at E3, if not before.

Shame though; if it's so easy to do then why not just leave as it is?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Was "directly" in the original title? This was: " Unlocked a Few Days Ago on PS Vita" 

The title implies they removed all the games, not the bulk that suddenly popped up a few days ago.



OP title is misleading.

You made me turn on my PSV only to find that nothing has changed. I can still download PSP games (PS Vita/PSP) on the top menu of the PS Store for PS Vita. I can still download PS One Classics For PS Vita/PS3/PSP; again on the top menu of the PS Store for PS Vita.

While I don't doubt that some content that was removed as fast as it was made available, it's as clear as the screen I'm looking at right now to my right on a PS Vita that PSP/PS One games are still available for download on this handheld.

Probably Licensing issues.. new deals have to be made when its directly available on a different device then it original intended to be..
