I hope this rejuvenates it in the US.

Then again, SCEA and/or publishers here have kind of been awful there generally. :/

 

[DJ Crimson]

Yea

 

[hongcha]

Dragon Force!! That will be mine on day 1.

 

[ULTROS!]

Wonder why they're publishing CVX again when it's on PSN as a PS3 title. Then again it'll be cheaper but without the trophies.

OOOH both of those games are pretty awesome.
Hopefully those come to the US (If they haven't already)

Though like it's been said, i'd mainly be interested in this if they decided to make these compatible on vita. That would be a HUGE selling point for me.

OH MY GOD! Do these Japanese PS2 Classic work if I get a JP PSN card/account and buy it on my American PS3 or is there some sort of region lock for PS2 games?!

 

[Footos22]

Nope they'll work alright.
Got all my PS2 classics from the american store. And im from the UK.

By far one of my favorite things about the PS Store.
So easy to have acess to other region's store's and get content.

Because they know cvxfreak will buy it again.

Horrible lineup for Japan. RECVX and Siren, really? You can already get both of those games on the PSN in much more attractive ways.

Dragon Force (Sega): ¥800

Brings this to the US FFS.... I'll pay up to $39.99 for this game, even though I own it on my Sega Saturn, I'm curious to see the new story, extra battles, etc....

Next up: Nights into Dreams PS2 remix (US) - Best import ever, way better then the Wii sequal

A guy can dream, right?

While RE:CVX seems more for collecting's sake, Siren on the PSN is a remake. It's just as legitimate as offering, say, Metroid alongside Metroid: Zero Mission (if the latter didn't include the original anyway).

Thanks for the confirmation!
