Like I said, money. It costs money to run servers, and servers can only take so much load. Allowing people to permanently own games risks month to month dwindling profits as people continue to flat out purchase games rather than paying the hourly or daily costs. Not to mention it risks dampening the service for all as thousands of people decide they want to play their PS3 games, while people using the rental model get shafted because too many people are on. It ultimately risks cascading issues that legitimately could spell the end of the service that I think is still technically considered to be beta.

The simple solution one would think would be to allocate a server farm for owned games versus rented titles, but who would pay for that server farm? What is going to keep that server farm going unless the start charging people just to use the service in general? There are so many problems a person can easily see with owning PS Now titles if they look beyond their own interest. The current strategy is basically ideal for keeping the service viable.

What if everytime a PS4 owner played a PS NOW title another PS3 owner somewhere in the world had its PS NOW privilege suspended? That would keep things balanced right?

Restricting the service of one person so another can play is the oppsoite of an ideal solution.

Going to have to call BS on that PSP limitation part. You can put MegaMan Legends on a PSP with CFW, so they can definitely get it running on OFW. Sony is just trying to push the Vita.

Server load......... It would not be profitable for them and does not make sense

Great! just put Megaman Legends 2 and I'll be happy

still have my discs so can play on ps3, but i would like to have it for vita. $10 though...yeesh.

Is $10 really that awful? I mean, it's a few dollars more than what you would spend getting a meal at a fast food place. $10 is just "oh, I guess I'll pass on Taco Bell next time and eat in". It's the price of plenty of other PS1 classics too. I mean, how cheap can we get that $10 makes the difference between whether a game you like is appealing or not?

I mean, everybody is free to pay more than 2x the price for a physical copy that is disc only, or 3x to 4x as much if you actually want a complete edition with case and game. Then, you know, have fun jamming that into your handheld. I encourage you to make a video of your Vita cartridge slot holding a PS1 game.

This should be on the PS4. I'm starting to get annoyed with how Sony is handling the PS4 classics. There is no reason the PS4 couldn't emulate PSX, PSP, and PSTV games.... PS2 should be doable but a lot harder, PS3 is impossible.....

If they really are doing 1080p internal options, this can be forgiven....but it needs to happen sooner than later.

Sony has never tried to push the Vita, so let's not assume that's the reason why it's not working on PS3. This is probably a decision made because either Sony or Capcom decided it wasn't worth the effort to release the game on a platform as underused as the PSP. We're almost at the point that homebrew devs are gonna start releasing games on the PSP just because they can, which means we're WELL past the point of seriously expecting anything to come to the PSP anymore.
