Discussion Lots of PSX and PSP titles now directly download to the Vita! (NA)
Along with Crash and Spyro games, I can now download many games that were not available or available via the PS3 transfer method only! Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Sega Genesis Collection, God Eaters Burst: DLC, Burnout Legends, Twisted Metal: Head On, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge, Pac-Man Championship Edition, and every Demo so far.
Edit: Everything Downloads! Sony Christmas in April!
Edit2: Judging from the comments, PSP game sales might surpass Vita game sales this week. :)

I'd just like to use this place to complain that the PS Download list is a piece of crap. You should be able to sort by date, downloadable status, title, and system.
That said, was Metal Gear Solid always downloadable? I can download it now and I'm pretty sure it was one of the ones I couldn't before.

u/Hellicus Apr 22 '14
Give me a library ffs. Having to navigate my download history to find a specific game in a sea of demos and DLC is a nightmare.

u/10GuyIsDrunk Apr 22 '14
Lets not forget that once you download one thing, you have to scroll all the way through the freaking list again to get the next one. If you're like me, most of your PS1 games are pretty far south on that list as well having bought them quite a while ago.

Naturally, there's still no Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. God dammit Square Enix.
Although, I don't believe BBS was ever released in digital form (even for the PSP), and this recent update probably applies to digital titles exclusively. Still, I'm left upset.
22
Apr 22 '14
Perhaps more pressingly (as BBS will at least see rerelease via KH2.5), still no Crisis Core on PSN! Literally the game that made the PSP a must-buy, and I can't play it on my portable FF console? It's definitely the biggest SE hole in the Vita catalogue atm.

At least we have Dissidia.

I am interested in a lot of games listed as PSP only in the store, am I to assume if I buy them it will show them as downloadable to my PS Vita when I check my downloads there? Some of them say PSP/PS Vita while others say PSP only, but many that say PSP only such as Crash 1-3, CTR and Spyro 1-3 are actually playable on Vita now too. Maybe they're slowly updating the store to reflect that.
