PSP and PSOne Classics UNPLAYABLE at launch!

According to this, the Vita won't be able to download PSP games at launch or PSOne Classics. It is likely a future update will add this functionality.

Seriously, what is this bull**** lately? Nintendo pulled the same crap with the 3DS. Argh.

"Q: Is PS Vita compatible with other PlayStation platform games like PS3, PS2, or PSP? Do you have any plan to support other PlayStation platforms in the future?

A: Users can play PSP titles, minis, and PSOne classics titles, which are offered on PS Store. We do not have any plans to make PS Vita compatible with PS3 or PS2 titles at this point."


From the very same article you posted.

Yes, but the FAQ above it contradicts it.

That PS2 part was a kick to the groin.

Can you read?

It says:

In an FAQ on Sony Japan's Vita site, and as translated by GameSpot Australia, the publisher states:

"Q: Can games in the PlayStation archives be played on the PS Vita?
A: Not at time of release. We will keep you posted on further developments as they come to hand."

However, on Sony's US Vita site, a similar FAQ states that users will be able to play PSOne classics at some point.

See the bolded parts?

In Japan, the functionality will come in a later update. In the US and EU, it will be available at launch.

Yeah this is old news too.

I think Sony may be working on a better emulator for the device, hopefully. Or, they are wanting to keep the PSP competitive in some fashion at least for a couple months.

But in either case, the EU and US launches will both have PS1 support, unless the former takes a little longer then it should.
