No big deal, they just don't want to update the store on PSP anymore.

We can still buy PSP content.

2004 was some time ago... I think thats fair enough.

Whats crazy is that due to localizations of games, theres still some games not yet released for the PSP, meaning a few more games for PSP might see the light of day sometime in 2016.

It lasted long enough.

I have a ton of digital PSP games. I don't play my PSP anymore and I think I got about 90% on my Vita. I don't want to lose my content, even if I don't play them. Can I still transfer games to my PSP via my PS3, PS4, or PC? If so, this is no biggie.

 

*edit*

Commented without reading.  Looks like all is good.

why not letting us download everything from the PSstore website on PS4 and PS3?



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

I was waiting for something like this to happen as it will set a precedent for the PS3/PS4 and beyond. Nice to see they are allowing people to still buy PSP content and download our library content at the PS Store website.

And people can do the right thing and buy a Vita to play them on :p

Truth be told, my psp can't even connect to my Wi Fi. Hasn't been able to since I got a new router to play Resident Evil with Rol. I should sell it. It's got like 30 games saved on it.
