Yep, it works.
Anyone mind telling me if it's worth purchasing? It's a SRPG, correct? I love those. I never owned a PSP, so I'm pretty clueless when it comes to which games are must-owns.

Jeanne is a great SRPG, really good productions values as well.
I don't know that it was a matter of time before they hit the Vita in NA (hell, I didn't even know they were available for Vita in other territories). And yes, I own a PS3. No, I don't really want to play Spyro on my PS3, I would have been interested at that price for my Vita though.
Just cause I had another console that could play it doesn't mean I want to play it on that console. And honestly, while it's not having me hating Sony, I do think it's a trollish move of them.

Whoa whoa. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Valkyria Chronicles 2 de-listed? Or did it just not work on Vita? Someone test this shit!
If you like SRPG you'll love JDA, it's a great game made with love.

I was able to get a refund (in PSN credit) from Sony for one of the removed import PS1 games because I couldn't download it again when I got a new PS3. They were pretty nice about it.

EDIT: Stuffs.
It was a promotional theme from the PSP GO launch. You registered your PSP GO, downloaded the special theme and then you were entitled to a free game (or possibly 'some' free games, I can't remember).

You could already play this. You just had to transfer from your PS3.

That is just not true, why would I pay for a game I can't play? How is that reasonable?

Yes! I own all of them and was always pissed I couldn't play on Vita. This is great news.
Because I don't want to play them on something other than the Vita? I was just interested in them for the Vita.
And I have no proof they are coming to the Vita and on top of that, some of us are on a budget. Yeah, it's just one buck. And yes, I don't want to spend one buck on something I don't think I'm going to be able to use (money does actually add up. And don't argue with me that cause I'm gaming I must have a lot of money. You don't know me, you don't know my situation, and I get by on gaming by making sure that when I do spend my money, it counts! Not wasting a dollar because it's just a dollar and on the off chance the game will work where I want it to sometime in the future).
And for some of us, it wasn't obvious it was coming. I don't pay that much attention to the PSN store to know that some ads for one of the games popped up randomly a week ago or even that it's available in a region I'm not in nor do I look at the store for that region ever.

Is this some giant mistake? I'm worried it will get taken down

Seriously ^
I own a PS3 and a PSP but I wouldn't have played the games on either of those two. Why should I spend my money to not play it? SCEAs attitude with the Vita didn't exactly inspire courage that they'd bring these titles over to the Vita especially since they have been unavailable for so long.
Why was PSP2 removed from the store? All these posts about it make me want to play it

Because it's a freaking dollar and anyone who follows NeoGAF should've known it was coming soon (suddenly a bunch of Vita-exempt PS1 classics go on sale for a dollar the week before they become compatible? Not a coincidence, folks.)
PS1 classics don't exactly go on sale often, either. If you had any interest in them, even if you DIDN'T own a Vita but were planning to, you should've jumped on it.
There was a thread about it here on GAF, even (then it got overshadowed by the Last of Us: Remastered news....which was also leaked by the store)

What? No. Not everyone is a blind consumer, some of us plan on playing the games we buy when we buy them.

This makes sense as they are about to make a big PSNow push at E3.

Spyro 1 was running like absolute shit and I was very worried but once all my games finished downloading it smoothed right out. Phew.
So, it's just a dollar. Tell me, do you just throw dollars in the trash because it's just a dollar? After all, you're saying people should have spent a dollar on something they could not use because it's just a dollar (and it's stupid to say they should be able to predict the future and realize it was going to come to the Vita).
Ah, so I'm supposed to read every thread on GAF and happen to notice every thread before it gets pushed down. I see.
Or you could admit it was a trollish move on Sony's part rather than blaming people for completely reasonable things.
Bullshit, don't pretend you knew this was coming, Where's the precedent for it? Next time start a new thread BEFORE the event, Nostrodamus.

Do you have a problem with reality? You wanna tell me and many others that we had no interest in a game we still want to buy just mere hours later? Good day sir!
You speak as if this was obvious, when even now it is not clear if it is intentional.
Hey remember when Portable Ops went on sale a few months ago for like $7 and then didn't randomly become compatible with the Vita less than 24 hours after the sale ended? Me too
Omg omg omg! I can play Crash Team Racing on the bus!!
yup the number one thing I wanted. Now there are about 5 PSP games I will end up buying digitally thanks to this. I'm shocked they pulled this off.
PS1 games have gone on sale before, they've even been PS+ freebies. We had no way of knowing for sure this was happening, and given its been an issue for two years now why would anyone assume it was going to happen suddenly with no warning?

Ugh why is Phantasy Star portable 2 delisted?
If all PSP games work on Vita, Vita just got a GT game [even if it's a port from the PSP]
i had GT PSP on my Vita nearly ever since they announced PSP games for the Vita....not sure where this is coming from....also where are my Yugioh Tag Force PSP games dammit

boy this thread went from a happy one to a "BLEH I MAD, I didnt spend $6-$7 cause it wouldnt work on my vita since i have absolutely no reason to buy it on my ps3(if you didnt have a ps3 you have a extremely Valid reason otherwise no imo its cheap and if your budget doesnt allow for $6-7 you need to quit gaming since you're more of a cheapass than CAG and if you cant afford that with your budget you need to seek financial advice since you would more than likely be poorer than me(and i'm in shit condition poor)).. please folks lets just be happy the vita gets more games... now if only nintendo would allow for universal purchases(please make this true nintendo)
haha! yeah man! Like Sony has EVER put up a precedent for updating platform availability for old stuff.. Dude must be trollin', cause Im pretty bummed too I didn't pick up those Crash games..
I did get Gex just cause that worked on vita lol! great memories! horrible game..
So, does anyone think is is real? Like, seriously real with all the PSP, PS1 and PSP games on PSN being fully playable on Vita? Because with PSP demos working and the Crash/Spyro games working, I'm honestly wondering if this was an intentional act or a simple mistake.
I really hope it isn't, but I'm not sure :l. I got the PS1 and PS Minis that usually don't work on Vita on mine now just in case, but still, it would be nice for Sony to confirm...
