There is no way these servers are that costly to run. Im sure its all just to give people less options so they focus on newer hardware.

I'm all for games focusing on digital from here on out for various reasons, but they really do need to figure out how to effectively extend the software life for future gens first.

You can still download games you've purchased on the PSP. Or you can transfer it from a PS3 where you can do the same thing.

But really, All PSP Go is still good for is being the coolest handheld because it has that dope slider.

August 27th for the Vita. At least they gave us plenty of time. I guess I've gotta look through the library and decide which games I really need.

I keep looking at this topic every few minutes and getting more upset even though it should be expected.

I think I've scoured the ps3 store enough and gotten everything I need out of it, from free demos to those timed trials of full games to psn classics.

But should I be downloading the ps1 classics now to leave on my ps3 offline indefinitely?

Im no longer a Sony fan, apparently. I get cutting the PS3 library, but you dont take away gaming for handheld fans. Theyre not even talking about a new handheld system.

Will they just come out and say whether or not you'll still be able to re-download games you've already purchased?

Is there any way to download them now and store them somewhere or something?

Usually they shut down the store first to stop people from buying games and then a year or so later they shut it down completely.

They do tend to give notice. Hopefully they'll implement some easy way to back up your library but I doubt it.

Wouldn't you be able to just download them to the Vita's SD card? Of course if you download more than will fight on a single one, that will get expensive quick.

So I was scrolling through to see if there were any games I wanted before the shut down. I was checking out Dead or Alive 5, but...you can't actually buy the game?! There's a dozen costume packs, but no option to actually get the game itself!

Nintendo and Sony like doing this. Microsoft is the only company that can afford to keep their old stores up and running. 360 still going strong. Wii and now PS3 are biting the dust.

Vita memory cards are cruel in the sense that the larger storage it is the more likely the games will get corrupted and unable to be played.

Vita is a mess of a system and basically needs to be fixed by hacking it now.

Ah, I never knew that! I've downloaded a few games and have never had a problem. I guess I'm lucky.

Wait is this true? Because I made these topics a few months ago on the various Vita boards and game forums that my Vita memory card was corrupting and would either not start the applications or the entire save files are gone. It's one of the reasons I even got ps plus!

Yep. Randomly wanted to play Injustice on the thing on my 64GB memory card and the game was completely corrupt and needed to be downloaded again. Pretty sure it happened to a few games I had installed on there too.

I don't think there's anyway to avoid it.

I bought my 16 gb on Amazon new from a 3rd party seller and was worried that I might have bought an unofficial memory card or something after some others put the idea in my head.
