They're mostly clearanced now, but I can totally walk into any of my local stores and buy them.
Thanks for the clarification. This is what I wanted to hear.
Move along people, smh at Kotaku for creating this outrage.
Buy it through the PS3 or the browser store, then transfer it over to the PSP. It's just the store front on the PSP itself that's closing from what it sounds like.
Already said that earlier..but people are just not listening >_>

This is straight up incorrect - they are just closing the PSP's own storefront, in Japan.
It was closed in Europe in September last year, and we can still download games via PC/PS3 and purchase them on the web store or Vita.
(Probably wanna chance the thread title before people freak out)
Show me specific posts where people are talking about games already owned.
Digital future will be great, guys!
#FuckSony
Fuck the digital age >:|
How long until the PS3 store isn't available anymore and we can't download all the stuff we bought digitally? :/
No one still plays on those things anyway.
Let's drink a tequila shot for each time the words "fuck" or "fucking" were written in the first page of this thread.
Read the text, it means UMD games will stop being produced and no NEW PSP digital games. Says nothing about removing from PSN.
Edit: Also includes PSP access to PSN.
Seems this is bad reporting from Kotaku
Hope not, still want Mega Man Powered Up on PSN.Will they continue to add old PSP games digital though? I want Ridge Racer 2 on my Vita damnit!
Seems this is bad reporting from Kotaku, should have really gotten a human translation of the report from the other website. Slight wording differences makes a huge difference to the actual news to report.
Seriously? Are they going to stop selling PSP games or what? I mean we can still purchase them on Vita or PC?
Yeah, "ending PSP game sales" was really bad wording.Kotaku is gonna kotaku
Closing the PSP store is not the same as not selling PSP games anymore -_-
Yo, fuck no
Oh, sorry, I just dropped my ice cream. What's going on over here?
Uh, read the thread.I can't say that I am outraged over this to be honest.
I do dislike this aspect of the digital future and think physical games are far more attractive for the consumer in current situation (if not on sale).. But I also think it is not ethically wrong or anything like that. They announce the sales of new PSP games, which is a platform nearly two generations ago in terms of timelapse, will stop soon and in the terms of agreement they state (right?) that the purchases will be available to you for at least 5 years. It is upon the consumer to decide if that is a good proposition or not.
As someone who likes to boot up some retro titles, I don't like this, mind you. I expect that the market eventually will think of ways to adress this to some extent (greater focus on compatability, streaming, options to trade games with other people etc.). We are still in the early phase of digital storefronts of gaming, especially on consoles.
