Rumour: PS2 Game Download Service Hinted At?

Dan Lee 70 Comments

The PSP is home to some great games, with one being ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. This PSP only game is packed with content, providing hours of entertainment for a measly £13.99.

So imagine our surprise this morning when we logged on to the PSN to find a rogue game sitting directly beneath Vice City Stories – the original PS2 game ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’.  We’ve tried downloading it on a PSP 3000 to no avail; however it will happily work on a PSPgo.

It’s obvious this game listing isn’t meant to be active, as the thumbnail JPEG is broken and the file name looks a bit off, not to mention it’s free! Plus when the game boots it boots as ‘stories’.

Is the PSN having an off day?  Or is this an early glimpse of something else in the works?

  1. I find strange stuff on the store all the time. If you search for something then sometimes it has reams of DLC that’s never been promoted etc.

  2. It’s only on the UK store..

  3. Its just the psp game that’s all.

  4. Downloading it. Anyone finished downloading it?

    • Oh I see. It’s just Vice city stories fair enough but a bit weird.

  5. downloading now

    • only the psp game but still its cool

  6. has anyone managed to get it working on a non psp-go model?

  7. After downloading and installing i can confirm this doesn’t work with a PS3. It only asks for you to transfer it to a PSP.

  8. So is this PSP or PS2?

  9. What if you copy it from ps3 to psp 1000-3000?

  10. How would a PS2 game work on a GO? I mean it doesn’t have nearly enough buttons ;)
