Conrad told you earlier that a few Vita games were up on the PlayStation Store tonight, but now the full Vita PS Store has launched. This is the day that importers with Japanese Vita systems and US PSN accounts have been waiting for.
There's not much content on the Vita store yet, but there are a few games to buy as well as demos and videos. If you have PSP games or PS Mini titles, some of them are available for download to your Vita now. The PSOne titles are not downloadable yet.
I'm a bit concerned that some PSP titles aren't downloadable, with the message "cannot download using a PS Vita system" replacing the download button. Here's an example of some of my own PSP games that aren't downloadable right now:
- Gran Turismo PSP
- PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe
- Sega Genesis Collection
- Fate unlimited codes
- Hexyz Force
Plenty of other PSP games are downloadable, though. I've got God of War: Chains of Olympus pulling down now. It's not quite launch yet, so Sony could still be working out some bugs with the PSP offerings.
If you've got a Vita, check out the PS Store on your system now!

I realy wanted to have this and Fat Princess on my vita when it launched. Hope they work it out by then.
Also, earlier there was nothing in the store...that's some sorcery at work.
If you save about $5 on each digital dl, than your first 20 games will have broke even your purchase. Also consider the savings on $9 (or less games) that are only on the PS Store.
Have you seen the current UMD Passport proggram?
If so, how would that be financially better or more of a convenience for you as a PSP/VITA owner?
WHERE THE FUCK IS IT!
Gravity Rush(only the tutorial)
Dinasty Warriors Next(let you play 7 characters and 3 mission each)
Uncharted
Little Deviants(only let you play few level
Ragnarok(some sort of Japanese online Hack n Slash)
All I want to copy over really is...
Monster Hunter Freddom Unite
Gran Turismo
Let Us Cling Together
and.. No Heroes allowed 2 or whatever it's called.
-sent from my $300 iPhone
I see what you did there ;) lol
Lots of details on the PSVita:
PSVita Secrets: http://www.edepot.com/playstation.html
I know the answer to that (and I will be correct) but, why would you think that?
Interesting way to include spam into a comment thread... All your comments do this, but it looks like your getting sloppy these days.
Seriously, Spamming AND bitching at the same time!?! That's beyond rude if you ask me.
Because I know marketing execs. One of them may have suggested that by staggering PSP games releasing, they can increase brand awareness and sales by getting free promotion on gaming sites when they drop instead of all in one go.
Think about it, the unceremonious post, or in a couple of months time "GRAN TURISMO OUT NOW ON US PSN". The latter prompts people to buy an individual title.
I'm at Japan right now and I wanted to know. Can I really buy a Vita here and use my US PSN Store account? Will it work normally and can I really buy US games, both for Vita and PSP?
Thanx
