Yes, Sony should be concentrating on the Vita, but – you know – lots of people still have their PSPs going strong, and to celebrate this peculiar state of affairs, Sony have dropped the prices of a load of first party games on the PSN Store.
Amusingly, the Blog says that some of them are even PS Vita compatible, but leaves it up to you to check the Store to see which ones are. So we’ll do the same.
Regardless, Ghost of Sparta is utterly fabulous.

GeneralJeeb
Awesome news as I today intend to pick up a Vita :D Syphon Filter here I come again!
Bodachi
They are so much better on Vita. Though the Logan’s Shadow doesn’t work on Vita yet.
uncharted86
Are you sure? This page lists it as compatible:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/09/how-to-download-psp-titles-to-ps-vita/
Bodachi
I tried putting it on my Vita. I think there are some differences between EU and US.
DixNeuf
Should be pointed out that the PS EU blog says this list is only *some* of the titles that are on sale (looks like they’ve just listed the titles dropped to £6.99), can’t wait to get home to my PSP and see what else is on offer!
uncharted86
The new prices won’t be live until the normal store update tomorrow. But the price drops are all permanent yay :)
Taylor Made
might get me some GoW ghost of sparta! all they need is a trophy patch for the vita & sorted
Resistance also never played it on psp, let me youtube the gameplay.
are syphon games any good
Sympozium
Well some are finally at a good price *cough Key of Heaven. Echoshift and White Knight Chronicles.
Great for PSV basically, but better there’s even more at the store near the same price and they’re RPGs! \o/
DixNeuf
What other RPG’s are on sale? I picked up Tactics Ogre and a couple of the YS games last week, is there anything else good?
KeRaSh
Very interested in WKC Origins. Is it compatible to the Vita? 8€ is a very nice price!
Tuffcub
Its good, if rather repetitive. Proper RPG grinder.
DixNeuf
Me no like grinders :-(
KeRaSh
I quite enjoyed WKC1 and still have 2 sitting at home (WKC2 is a proper bargain since you get WKC1 with it. Got around 50 hours of gameplay out of the first game itself!)
I’m actually a fan of these grindy JRPGs. That’s probably the reason why I think FFXI Online is the best MMO out there… :D
Sympozium
Its stuff like God Eater, Monster Hunter oh and Cladun, I’m not sure about the others but there’s plenty to choose from.
Bodachi
Going to get Resistance, probably get God Of War on Ps3.
Kamokazi-UK
I got the UMD version, but suffered because of the controls. If it works on the Vita and I can map the other stick….
Youles
Might have to buy Gran Turismo….is there anyway to get my PSP save file from my PSP or PS3 on to Vita?
Bodachi
There is, though the save is tied to the system.
humanfish
Awesome. I was going to pick some of these titles up for my Vita last week. Luckily I didnt. Are they big file sizes for PSP titles?
Nate
I’ve only played the first GOW game, is it advisable to play the second and third before the PSP titles or are they free from later spoilers?
Kivi95
Chains of Olympus is between 1 and 2. And I don’t know ehere Ghost of Sparta is in the story lines.
nofi
The very beginning, before 1.
PoorPaddy89
You got it the wrong way round. The order for the series is;
Chains of Olympus
GoW
Ghost of Sparta
GoW II
GoW III
Kivi95
Ah was such a long time sense I played Chains Of olympus :S.
PoorPaddy89
Even so, it’s an unforgivable offense :P
gazzagb
Gangs of London is just like the Getaway isn’t it? Might get it depending on it’s size, only got a 1GB memory card for my PSP. Might see how big Logans Shadow is too, enjoyed the demo of that.
Youles
Correct – its a great game although not sure how it has aged. There’s also zombie mode, and other mini-games such as darts!
gazzagb
Zombies, lolwut?!
Google seems to say its about 800mb, might take a look later.
Bodachi
Logan’s Shadow is over 1GB.
gazzagb
Ah, thanks. Guess I won’t be getting it then, although I might check amazon to see how much a 4gb card is these days…
humanfish
On the official blog they have said that these are permanent price drops too
