mvpeast Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Certain vita games can’t be bought from the stores anymore. Like Panstu hunter in NA, I Am The Hero in AS, etc. You can still search it on google but can’t add the game to cart anymore and the “new store” shows blank for that game. “Old Store” https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1675-PCSE01417_00-SYPSVPANTSUHUNTE?scope=sceapp&PlatformPrivacyWs1=exempt&psappver=18.05.0&smcid=psapp%3Alink menu%3Astore&code=xl2032&state=returning&cid=11675bfa-2796-43ec-94ed-73546c858e10 “New Store” https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/EP1661-PCSB01385_00-G000000000001295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Yeah, they announced it a few weeks ago. PS3 and PSvita games will no longer be available on the web store. You can only buy vita games through the vita store that's in the vita hardware. Edited November 8, 2020 by Wavergray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a total mess over there... I’m just rushing as many vita games as possible before it gets even worse.

Or what do you think? Vita store may get removed eventually unfortunately.. Just like online servers shutting down for games. I think Sony may shut down vita stores in a few years.

Or what do you think? They will eventually like PSP was and you'll just be able to access the download list, and who knows if that will remain forever. I doubt it, it's already a struggle to even navigate the download list so technical issues will probably get worse going forward. And both the Vita/PS TV and PS3 stores are all crap with tons of issues. Also worth nothing is that Sony forgot the PSP store was shut off, since their email they sent out about this change said you could still access the content via the native stores of Vita, PS3 and PSP. Which is false, as the only way to currently buy PSP games now is on the PS Vita... or PSone/Minis from PS3 since they work on both. For people with just a PSP, pound sand. Not that there would be many, I'm sure. But it doesn't bode well at all for the rest of them. Digital is the future~~ 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing lasts forever especially digital contents.. server shut down, games removal, etc. These things happen eventually. I remember playing Marvel Heroes 2016. The company just went bankrupt suddenly. Lost thousands of hours of progress and cash there. Sony probably won’t continue to support old products forever so shut down is inevitable.

Solercide Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Honestly, I would at this point just get a memory card and back up all your digital games to it then transfer this to a laptop using the PS Vita "Content Manager" application. Or alternatively buy your games physically now whilst they are reasonably priced for the most part. I love this damn console sad to see it going the way it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panstu hunter does not, but apparently it was never in the na vita store from the start. Actually they both are on the old US store atleast I found them, Most Ratlaikia games are cross buy, I am the Hero is on sale right now 60% off and it’s cross but so buy the PS4 if you can’t find the vita version. Pantsu hunter is on the PS4 and vita, but isn’t cross buy so you have to buy it twice, the PS4 version is also on sale, along with many other ratlaikia games, but if anyone knows of digital only games not on the vita store like the EU versions of Utawaremu please post want you can.

Popular Post punkshepherd Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 Buy Physical or download anything/everything you have to a (overpriced STILL) memory card. It coulda been a contender Sony! Look how they massacred my boy.... /associated whining. Seriously though why would anyone buy the discless ps5 knowing what fate surely awaits? (Yes i know space n reasons but...just....dammnnn). 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyra_ Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That means certain games for example Romancing Saga 3 (which is not cross buy) and relatively new are simple not available any more.... nice move 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have to compile of list of digital games I need to download and/or transfer in my computer. Even so, nothing digital is guaranteed. I think I'll concentrate on completing some Vita games this winter/next year...I just got to find the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatHasTrophies Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So sad, watching the Vita die when she doesnt deserve it. And there was no notification on PSN to tell People about the shutdown. I had about 30 games on my wishlist (it's also gone) for ps vita - i cant find them anymore. I just bought a new import-vita (the lime green one from Japan) because my old one broke - seems like this was a stupid idea. There -are- games in the vita store, but they are never on sale. And I am not willing to pay full prize for old games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only up to the company if they want to delete them or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That e-mail basically proved that the executives and clowns working high up at Sony don't know their own fucking products. We know more about Sony gaming than Jim Ryan does. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Soup Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It was bound to happen eventually. I would have liked it done with a bit more forethought, but what are you gonna do at this point?

Small handful of people have confirmed that it still works with few hitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
