My Old PSN Account and Previous PSN Downloads

If you read my piece on how I was able through the use of a PS3 able to install the "Turbo" Level of LittleBigPlanet PSP actually on my PSP. But it also meant changing the registration of my PSP, which only became a problem once it hit me "What about my old PSN account?". Let me tell you why I have 2 PSN accounts, I had one previously but it was pulled by Sony after their site was hacked. I was one of 1000s of people who suddenly had no PSN account. Really this was not an issue after Sony shut down its PSP servers. I really had only a couple of pennies in the account at the time it was closed. But now it's an issue, you see back in 2012 I have downloaded several PSP and PS1 titles really nothing more than just a handful of games 6 PS1 and 4 PSP games. The PS1 games are no issue, in fact out of the 6 there is only 1 I play regularly, as for the PSP games there are 2 I need to get an actual copy, nothing all that expensive. But the real problem is the demos I have quite a few that are no longer available as if this posting I have no idea the number that is currently unplayable.

My only advice is really if you're in the same position get another PSP specifically for PSN I wish I did that, oh what a mess I have gotten myself into.

Which only leaves the DLC, thankfully I can get what I no longer have access easily, most of what I use is free and is currently available through PSN. Which only leaves the pay DLC from Toy Story 3 PSP. Surprisingly I am not going to get it, for the reason those exact same levels are in the PS2 version right from the start and I do own a PS2 to play them on.

No Nonsense Review: Piyotama PSP

Currently available from PSN for just $2.99 and there was no psychical copy released I snatched this one up today. Yes, it's weird but also it is pure fun, as this review by CGR Undertow agrees.

Very addictive, pure challenge and damn fun.

Overall Rating  8/ 10


What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 PSP DLC Alert

I was going through the titles on PSN, when I checked out What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 PSP it seems PSN has 2 FREE DLCs available.

WDIDTDTML!? 2: Day Without A Badman

Description

When the Overlord leaves the dungeon, you are tasked with the responsibility of protecting his (rather annoying) daughter. These new levels, monologued by the Overlord’s daughter, put you in charge of defeating a myriad of heroes for the sake of a damsel who is not so distressed.

and

WDIDTDTML!? 2: My Name is Shota

Description

Face off against Shota, the original main hero, as you get a glimpse of his side of the story. These new levels are narrated by the tragically unskilled and unlucky hero as he struggles to survive the rugged and adventurous life of those who answer the call to action.

No Nonsense Review: What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? PSP

I want to make something quite clear there are 2 versions of the game the original which is a PSN exclusive and the sequel which did see an actual psychical release and you can get that for around $20, both are currently $4.99 each on PSN.

As for the game it's 100% WEIRD!!!


I think I sorta got it figured out, even though I had to watch some videos to figure out how to make lizardmen. Like I said 100% weird, and even then that is being kind. So naturally, it's hard to rate this title. If you like what you see get it, if not try something else.

Overall 4/ 10

Sony's Solution to play PSP Games on the Vita

Found this on Kotaku.com 

It seemed back in 2011 Sony had this plan to share PSP games with Vita Owners it was called the UMD Passport.
The article goes on to say: Starting Dec. 6, the UMD Passport service will start in Japan. Here's how it works: Download a free app called "UMD Registration Application". After that, enter your UMD game disc into your PSP, and according to the on-screen prompts, register your UMD via your PSN Account. The UMD will then be available for purchase.

Once the PS Vita is released in Japan on Dec. 17, you can then download the title on your new Sony handheld. According to Sony, the games will be available at an "agreeable price".

Currently, 40 game companies are offering 200 UMD titles as part of Sony's UMD Passport program. The digital versions of the games are priced anywhere between ¥100 (US$1.29) to ¥2,400 ($31).

Here is a selection of titles to give you an idea of how much the downloads cost on UMD Passport: Patapon 3 (¥1,000 or $13), Gran Turismo (¥1,000 or $13), Hot Shots Golf Portable 2 PSP the Best (¥500 or $6.40), Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (¥1,000 or $13), Dynasty Warriors: PSP the Best (¥500 or $6.40), Persona 3 Portable: PSP the Best (¥1,500 or $19), and Guilty Gear: Judgment (¥500 or $6.40).

This is not a full list of titles, and other companies, such as Konami and Capcom, are participating. Expect pricing and titles at a later date. Obviously, Sony did not disclose U.S. pricing, but one could assume that games priced at, for example, ¥500 would be priced at $5 in the U.S.
But as well all know this program never saw a US release. Would it of helped with Vita sales who knows.
