Thanks! I didn't play co-op anyway. Should be able to install this on Vita just fine right? Will buy those tomorrow after store update.

Don't hold your breath completely on a store-update though, there's always the potential this was a clerical error that Sony isn't in a position to reverse now that the whole Vita community is staring, and is merely just going to let them be downloaded without directly putting them on the Vita storefront. Besides, it's perfectly available on the web-store anyway which can then be downloaded directly to Vita through purchase history. And I hate to say it, but I loathe the PSN store interface on the Vita.

Eh, what am I kidding on that one sentence. It would be wasteful to have them downloadable but not on the storefront, Sony's not that stupid even if the Cell CPU and $599 one-two punch was a thing. Still slightly confused on why this massive update happened with no real announcement and even one of the major execs out of the loop.

Only problem is the memory card size. I am full, need to delete everythang...

I was just organizing my games. I have 52 games on my 32GB card and have 3.6 GB left at the moment.

Demonitize yourself and face to 64shed.

 

[Plortch]

I can't wait to finally be able to play 'Twisted Metal: Head-On' on my Vita!

 

[fvng]

I meant Sega pulled the game from the store, not the servers. I said them because I forgot the first wasn't on PSN.

oh i didn't know about that

pro-tip for everyone here

getting the valkria chronicles 2 bundle is cheaper than buying the game by itself, not sure if they ever fixed that though.

edit: they removed the bundle from the store, but it doesn't matter because the current price is now way cheaper

 

[SwiftDeath]

64GB purchase vindicated

My wallet am cry

It's on there...

Sorry, I mean the Vita store. At least it's not under "V".

 

[Kolma]

People were listing holy grails for PSN so I'll give mine.

Rockband Unplugged (not lite)
Tekken: Dark Ressurection
SSX On Tour

I spent so much time on those 3 games.

Rockband is a licensing issue I guess but I have no idea why Tekken Dark Resurrection and SSX On Tour aren't available on PSN.

Regular Rock Band Unplugged isn't on PSN
lite version is the only way to get it digitally

 

[nhlducks35]

Man, can't believe Rock Band Unplugged is no longer on the store. Anyway to get a digital copy of the game without getting the lite version?

 

[Suzzopher]

Finally I can play Rock Band Unplugged, Theme Hospital and C&C Red Alert!

 

[demolitio]

Sega Genesis Collection here I come.

Maybe I should finally finish Ghost of Sparta as well. Then again, I might get confused and actually think it's a Vita GOW game thanks to Ready at Dawn's technical wizardry.

I'm hoping for any other suprises for tomorrow. Something like buy $60 and get $10 back promo. I'll gladly buy $60 worth of game, again. I don't think they will revert back either since there's no benefit for them to revert this. Backlash from Vita owners is not the thing they want atm.

Agreed with bolded sentence. Nothing indicates that this is coming, other that that weekend flash sale. Might be some testing before launch of PSV2000

Spoiler

or VitaTV

to the West.

 

[Shinta]

WHAT

How did I miss this thread? Phantasy Star Portable 2, finally? Wow.

 

[Takao]

Powered Up works too? Finally?! !

That game wasn't released on PSN in North America.

Why cant we have the ps1 digimon games? Would love to have them on my vita

Those aren't even up in Japan, so there's clearly some shenanigans going on there.

 

[outunderthestars]

Man, can't believe Rock Band Unplugged is no longer on the store. Anyway to get a digital copy of the game without getting the lite version?

Sadly no.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Just how bad is the lite version? I wasn't able to find much info on it.

 

[SappYoda]

Finally I can play Rock Band Unplugged, Theme Hospital and C&C Red Alert!

Theme Hospital and Red Alert are still PS3/PSP only in EU. I don't see any change.

 

[Bishop89]

Those aren't even up in Japan, so there's clearly some shenanigans going on there.

I NEED THEM! Would spend hundreds of hours into them (again) god damnit bandai!! (pretty sure its bandai)

 

[fernoca]

That game wasn't released on PSN in North America.

Nooooo...missed the "Disc only" part in the site.

 

[NIGHT-]

Finally playing Portable ops for the first time! Looks great on Vita.

 

[Kolma]

Just how bad is the lite version? I wasn't able to find much info on it.

lite version only comes with 5 songs, have to download all the rest. including the ones included with regular edition.
That said.. can't even find the DLC for it in store, is it only through the game itself?

 

[D23]

Wait so Ru saying I can play crash on vita?

 

[nhlducks35]

Sadly no.

Fuuuuuuu-

My favorite game on the PSP and I can't play it

 

[Eusis]

Nooooo...missed the "Disc only" part in the site.

Heh, if Powered Up (and other completely missing UMD games) were there then this would truly be too good to be true.

Although at a minimum SE could put FFI & II up! I can see licensing issues for any other games, but those two that are completely identical in other regions, and given the visuals wouldn't look much better if properly ported over? What the hell's their problem?

 

[Ben Morales]

Just how bad is the lite version? I wasn't able to find much info on it.

Lite is garbage because there are only 5 songs in it and you have to buy the rest of the songs one by one.

I was still able to access the DLC through the in-game storefront as of last year. If someone wants me to confirm it I will download it.

I still remember how mad I was when they first released it on PSN during the PSP Go launch. The full version was never available digitally, only the lite version.

 

[funkystudent]

So was this a mistake or SCEA finally getting some sense?

 

[Edgeward]

PHANTASY STAR IS ON VITA FINALLY!

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

So wait....even Motor Toon GP? @_@

 

[outunderthestars]

So wait....even Motor Toon GP? @_@

Yep! (I have not seen anyone test that one)

 

[Shinta]

PHANTASY STAR IS ON VITA FINALLY!

I'M DOWNLOADING IT RIGHT NOW! WOOO!!!

 

[SpasilliumX11]

.

 

[fvng]

I don't quite understand why so many psp games get no psn release. Crisis Core, Megaman Powered up, PoPoLoCrois (A FIRST PARTY GAME), don't get put on the store? ugh

It's just money sitting there waiting to be grabbed.

 

[Korten]

I'M DOWNLOADING IT RIGHT NOW! WOOO!!!

You guys and your full PSP2...

I'll just sit here and keep replaying the demo to PSP2 over and over...

 

[SpikedGunner]

Man, now I really have to pick up a Vita one of these days (I want to but I lack the funds to justify a purchase).

I really want to play Valkyria Chronicles 2, Phantasy Star Portable 2, and Portable Ops on it.

...and yea, buy VC2 people, it may be the weakest of the series, but it is still a good game.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Only problem is the memory card size. I am full, need to delete everythang...

Probably the main reason why when I get the Borderlands bundle I'll be mostly buying physical copies of games, buying digital only for PSP/online-only games and free PS+ title.

 

[Bishop89]

Has there been any changes to EU store or is this just US? Dont remember seeing phantasy star online before, might give it a shot....if its on eu store

 

[JimPanzer]

no PSP2 on the EU store
is valkyria chronicles 2 any good?

 

[outunderthestars]

But then you'll be stuck wishing you had bought the digital versions when the Vita 2 comes out and is digital only.

(Who am I kidding? This is Sony's last handheld)

 

[HueyFreeman]

no PSP2 on the EU store
is valkyria chronicles 2 any good?

It's not as good as the original, but it's still pretty awesome. They went with a lighter academy atmosphere and the environments are obviously smaller, but the general mechanics are the same ie. really solid.

 

[Canon]

Demonitize yourself and face to 64shed.

I can't bring myself to spend over a hundred bucks on a memory card, half the price of the system...

 

[CertifiedFP]

no PSP2 on the EU store
is valkyria chronicles 2 any good?

Yeah, Valkyria Chronicles 2 is an amazing SRPG, not the most difficult (At least for an SRPG veteran such as myself), but a great game none the less.

Requires a bit of dedication to get the most out of it though, but most RPGs do anyway.

 

[Shinta]

is valkyria chronicles 2 any good?

Yeah, it's really good. If you liked the first at all, 2 is for sure worth getting.

The maps are more bite-sized, and the characters are sillier. Other than that, it's just more VC. And they added about 100x more missions, and multiple new classes.

 

[hamchan]

Playing Gran Turismo on my Vita. This is awesome.

 

[bebop242]

I can't bring myself to spend over a hundred bucks on a memory card, half the price of the system...

Yeah i know how you feel, im flip flopping between ponying up for a 64gig or buying a new slim for a second vita. (stupid account bs)

 

[Takao]

It's believed that Crisis Core has music clearance issues.
Powered Up won't pass Sony certification due to programming issues.
PoPoLoCrois isn't a first party game in North America, and Agetec's license has either expired, or never included digital distribution rights.

thanks! do I need to play the first one? don't own a PS3

 

[Omnii-chan]

Is this only for on American Vita's? Because Twisted Metal Head On says its still only for PSP on the Australian PSN store.

 

[JBourne]

If anyone is on the fence about Rock Band Unplugged Lite after seeing the selection of DLC on the web store, there's a lot more in the in-game store. Full list is on Wikipedia.

My Vita might have just become a dedicated RBU machine.

 

[chrishackwood]

EU GAF: Any idea if this works over in PAL land? I've been itching to play Burnout Legends on my PSP ever since I got my VITA!

 

[Edgeward]

It is such a pain in the ass to go through my download history to find the shit to download. Sony needs to fix this ASAP
