Sony removing PSP's access to PSN+PS Store on Sep 15th

Kinda sucks but supposedly you can still buy stuff on the PS 3 or PC psn and transfer it, which actually works faster. So basically you just can't access the store on the PSP itself...that said you do have to have either a PS 3 or PC and transfer cables or card readers so it will be a hassle

Is the PSP unable to do wireless PS 3 transfers? Okay then.

But yeah, the initial reaction I saw all over the place to this was just overreaction until people realized that the download list would still work and you could get new games in a roundabout fashion. If Sony intends to keep updating the store, cutting support for old platforms would have to come eventually.

I'm more curious as to what will happen when it's the PS 3's turn.

Should probably let people know that this isn't going to affect the American PSP PSN store just yet. They're still trying to decide whether to keep it or not.

As far as I know, there is no wireless PS 3 > PSP transferring thing. And the USB cable specialized for PS Ps is overpriced(but if you absolutely need it, go ahead.)

Since the Vita is a thing, I can't really care. If only I could use UM Ds on the Vita too.

PSP doesn't have a special USB cable. Any mini-USB to USB cable will do.

Oh that slot isn't specialized for PS Ps?

I never noticed...

If you have a PS 3, the cable used to charge the controller will work for connecting PSP and PS 3.

The Vita is actually unable to play a large amount of the PSP's library (many PS 1 classics only work in certain regions, several PSP titles that flat-out disallow the Vita or aren't on PSN, etc.), so there's still good reason to use one.

I have a... very special PSP that doesn't use PSN for downloading games, but this is a shame.
