Flojomojo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 There's nothing stopping you from making a Japanese PSN account to buy these in the USA. That's what I did. http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=75023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legendary game Policenauts is available for download on JP PSN.

The english translation is ongoing here: http://policenauts.net/english/ Im a big fan of RPGs, but the downloads would be useless to me since most RPGs require a bunch of reading. Still pretty cool we can get them. Would be even cooler they'd release them here and in english. No biggie though, I have the PS3 that is 100% BC so I could just pick up the old disks if I ever felt the need. Still...I'm sure Sony would make a pretty penny just off impulse buys if the had these available in the store.

xenomorpher Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Has anyone tried a Japanese PSOne download on their US PSP? I'm curious if it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I guess if more people downloaded the PS1 games, they'd put more up. They clearly don't. The japanese love them so they get lots. Market forces, innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The japanese love them so they get lots. Market forces, innit? To be honest I agree with you and I think thats what it is. They dont look too good on modern TV's anyway but I still wish they would release some more games. There's a ton of gems out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Absolutely agree. Even though I already own it, I'm still jealous that the Japanese PS3 owner can download Xenogears for practically nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Market forces, innit? Maybe, but at the same time you have to put up what people want to download. What is has now is a pretty small selection of which many are kinda played out, so of course people aren't going to be flooding the online store trying to grab them.

xenomorpher Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I tried following that guide in that link and tried setting up an Entropay account but wouldn't accept my information for some reason. It just kept acting up. I thought I saw later in that topic that the PSN stopped accepting Entropay cards too. Is there an easier way? It's pretty strange how Sony makes it so hard for you to BUY stuff from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
