The result of the proposal was expired request. Not listed at WP:RM. JPG-GR (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

List of PlayStation Network games → List of Playstation Network downloadable games — This name is more specific about this page, and it is not ambiguous with games that can be played on the playstation network but are not downloaded from that network —Sp0 05:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Support --Sp0 05:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Semi-Support MegaTroopX (talk) 23:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC). I'd like to split the list into two separate articles, one each for the US and the Eurozone, similarly to how the Virtual Console listings are divided by country (US, Europe, Japan).

[edit] Question

So, in order to download these games, do you need a PS3 and a PSP? Or just one of the two? I have a PSP, and I'm interested in purchasing some of the game downloads, but I'm not sure if it would work, since I don't have a PS3. Not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but I needed to ask it, because parts of the article aren't too clear.
it requires a PS3 and a USB cable to connect your PSP to the PS3, but some says the playstation store will be available for the PSP without the need of a PS3, this is unconfirmed though Cloud668 03:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to delete this, as is discussing the subject not the article John Hayes 10:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] spilt into two sections?

maybe this page should be spilt into two sections, one for PSP and one for PS3 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cloud668 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC).

i'm under the impression that all the games are eventually meant to be interchangable and at the least SOME of the games will be, so rather than seperating the list, it would make more sense to add another section to the table which either lists the compatible system as: PSP, PS3 or PSP & PS3. --AlexOvShaolin 06:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
that would be a nice idea Cloud668 06:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree. Another column should be added to clarify the game's current console. --LoneStranger 17:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I split the article into two sections, see below. --Cmsjustin 19:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] original platform

i set the original platform for a PlayStation Network for all games released exclusively via PlayStation Network since they are not only playable on the PS3 but will work with PSP as well. --AlexOvShaolin 05:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes in version 111894754

I did my best to cleanup this article and move it to the sorted lists. There was an edit conflict, and I did my best to include those changes also, but if I missed something I apologize. Here's the diff also: [1]

  • Switched to sorted lists
  • PSone titles have been moved to a second list. They should be kept there unless the ability to play them on the PS3 is released.
  • Fixed original platforms for most games, switch to using PlayStation 3 instead of PlayStation Network for original IPs.
  • PSone titles have had the platform column removed for obvious reasons
  • Added $5.99 for all PSone titles.
  • I removed Mainichi Issyo, it should only be added back in if we add separate columns for US, UK, and JP dates like Chronology of PlayStation 3 games. Also pricing for each would have to be separated.

Suggestions are welcome. --Cmsjustin 19:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it looks good, I was debated removing the alphbetizing, but what happens when the lists gets too long?Pumapayam 02:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that we should remove pricing, for that it varies throughout time, and territory. Release Date of different territories should be combined and the earlist release date should be listed, as currently there are already a few playstation store.Cloud668 21:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

This is very confusing. why are there two seperate lists? originally i had the article broken down into seperate lists but it became too hard to navigate, i think it is the same case here. furthermore, as far as games downloaded from the PS3 being dubbed "PlayStation 3 games" this is very inaccurate as they are "PlayStation Network games" unless they were originally released on PS#3discs then ported. you have to remember these games are playable on both the PS3, PSP and future systems. I dont want to give the impression that i am mad about this edit, because sooner or later this article is out of my hands, but i honestly feel these recent edits make it look like shit, non-cohesive, and not well thought out. These edits should have been discussed before being put into effect. Have fun with the article guys, I'm outta here! --AlexOvShaolin 05:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

The downloadable games for the PS3 are not playable on the PSP, unless they are the downloadable PSone games for the PSP, which are not playable on the PS3 (yet). They are not the same group of games, and besides being downloadable from the PlayStation Store, they have nothing in common. I don't suggest the lists be merged unless downloadable PSone games become playable on the PS3. —cmsJustin (talk|contribs) 12:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Even when that happens, I don't think the PSOne games should be merged with the PS3 games. It makes more sense to me to keep games with a PSOne or PSTwo heritage separate from the games designed for the PS3. Perhaps at the most we'd need a new column stating the PS3 firmware required to play the game. There will invariably be games released that need a newer version of the firmware, especially with the EmotionEngine ripped from the EU and future NA/JP consoles. --LoneStranger 16:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] mainichissyo

Another downloadable game that's not listed, Mainichissyo is a downloadable game from the PLayStation Store in Japan http://www.dokodemoissyo.com/mainichi/index.html

the game is japanese only, does this list only have english series? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.255.170.76 (talk) 17:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

This list is in English, but that by no means rejects Japanese games. Feel free to add it with references. I do not have enough knowledge on import games to do so. —cmsJustin (talk|contribs) 12:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Also we need a Japanese release date column. —cmsJustin (talk|contribs) 12:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I once has the game added, but due to a certain update of this page it's somehow removed due to that somehow there isn't a japanese release date column in this page. --Cloud668 04:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LittleBigPlanet

I'm confused why LittleBigPlanet is on the list. It's going to be a retail title. Sure you will be able to download a version of it in fall, but sticking it on this list I think is misleading.--SoundOfLight 21:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It will be released only as a download initially (Both the demo and the full version). A following Blu Ray release will have the "Best-of" levels with user content available for a product release. Pumapayam 17:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for EU prices

I just added a column for EU prices. Can someone from the other side of the pond fill them in? —cmsJustin (talk|contribs) 21:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Prices are not encyclopedic information. It is not Wikipedia's role to constantly update prices and provide a price comparison service. I've removed the prices from the article. Carcharoth 12:00, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for sizes

Hi guys. Would it be possible if somebody could put the download size of the games available? I would, but i'm still learning my way around my PS3 :-D Alpha Five 09:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

If you can find a source for it John Hayes 10:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Someone who has downloaded them can add them, would be a lot of help to many people Phil Mott 21:11, 16 February 2008 (GMT)

[edit] Snakeball

I added Snakeball from [2] if anyone can find any more info that would be great as it doesn't mention a developer, a price, or which region it is released in when (it just says July) John Hayes 13:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't give any exact details, but Snakeball is still not finished and there's some performance issues left to be resolved. This means that it will take some time before the game is released, but it's getting closer. Price will be about £5 / $10. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.248.12 (talk) 13:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions about release dates

Nucleus
Hi, I've noticed the game Nucleus on the EU store today but can't find a reference about it's release. Can the date for EU be adapted or should I keep searching for a decent source? --Stef Nighthawk 20:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] talisman original platform

someone had this listed as Boardgame, i understand that it was based off a boardgame but there is no software written for boardgames so that is not the softwares original release platform. it would be the equivalent of saying RE5's original platform is PS1 because all the RE games were based on the first one. --AlexOvShaolin 02:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are Medievil, Crash Bandicoot 2 and Spyro 2 really gone?

Found this http://www.gamesinfobase.com/source.php?t=Refunds_for_broken_PS1_games_on_their_way&id=63383&ext Are they really gone from PSN? It should be noted on this list that they were removed if they are really gone. -- Akadewboy 05:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I added "removed from PSN" Under crash2 and spyro2's euro release dates. Medievil is still there (in the europe store at least)--Darkdoom3000 (talk) 09:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] restrictions

can someone describe the restrictions (DRM) associated with these downloads? --AlexOvShaolin 20:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] What about home

Why has no one put home up thereJonapello22 (talk) 23:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can we list the Japanese PSOne games in the PSOne download section?

Man, the Japanese version of the Store has got more PSOne games than the US and UK. Our versions of the Store are utter shite. All we've got in the PSOne section are games we don't care about while the Japanese version of the store has TONS and I mean TONS of great PSOne games we're NEVER going to get. It's quite obvious that Sony hates us. The Lucky swine!

[edit] Japan PSN Games List Needs to be Updated

The dates for the release of PSN games in the Japan store need to be updated. Games in the Japan PSN store need to be added. This is a relatively large project. Does anyone want to start adding bits and pieces? --64.142.82.28 (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Gauntlet II, Joust, Mortal Kombat 2 etc are "Arcade Classics" (as in the HK store) ported to the PS3, they are not compatible with the Remote Play. i need time to do the list. Cliché Online (talk) 12:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
