They removed all mention of the PS1 titles from the EU stores making it super difficult to find them and buy them unless you know what exactly is already there.
It's better than the PS3, and includes all DLC. People were just expecting better...

Those prices are still criminal at best... Discounts my ass.
it was on ps+ a few months ago, maybe you 'purchased' it then?I could download it for free... First I thought it's a trial version or something like that - but the receipt i got is telling me that it indeed is the full version.
(It says that it's free of charge)

I just purchased it even though I already had it from PS+. No expiration date.
hmm weird
Doesn't this happen to some Crossbuy games?I just purchased it even though I already had it from PS+. No expiration date.

Yes. Same thing happened for me with Don't Starve and the Jax and Daxter Trilogy.

Yes. Happened to me with spelunky, which I got from ps+ last year. Thank you based ps store system error.
Probably this happened: the user had the free PS4 version, he bought the free PS3 version, PSN overwrote the license so the game is now free on all platform.

Damn... you're right. I "purchased" - but never downloaded it. Didn't even think about that.
Sorry for any caused misunderstandings.
But it's nonetheless weird, because normally it is stated that I already "purchased" it... that wasn't the case here.
Indee - no expiration date!
It's a PS2 port and it's decent, not as good as the PC version, but its by no means bad, and it does a good job of mapping the controls to a controller
Weirdly on the psprices website Metal Slug 1 is listed as discounted by only on PSP, not on PS3, can anyone confirm this?

I don't believe it was released on the PS1; I think it's the PS2 classics version, so not compatible with Vita.
PS2 version ain't bad, mind you.
Edit: beaten!
It really is confounding. There doesn't appear to be any kind of category for PS2 classics or a way to filter just to show them either.
On the web store I couldn't find it myself. On the Console store, though, there is a kinda "Categories"-menu (Forget how it was called specifically) and there are two tiles, PS1 & PS2.
Thanks. Yeah just searched for it on my vita and nothing came up for obvious reasons. Damn.
I'm on the fence with Gradius V, Suikoden 3 and Alundra
How hard/long is Gradius V? Does it have a forgiving save system? Is the version on PSN decent?
I loved Suikoden 2 but Suikoden 3 loses me a little without using sprite art, do you still have a party of 6? Is it a direct sequel to 2?
Alundra I might get but it's apparently pretty hard, but it's cheap and looks good so for £2 it can't be that much of a risk, is it a long game?
Yeah the store is awful, they used to have a section called "PSOne" and "PS2 Classics"
I'm not home yet so can't check, are they not all listed on the sales section of the store? Or do we have to use the painstakingly slow search bar to find the games on sale?

Several threads have popped up over time and no one seems to be fussed that they removed the categories from the EU stores. I don't think we've ever gotten an answer as to why and there isn't a person to really ask on twitter or anything either.

It's got plenty of options for difficulty, and they change the game significantly. Extra attacks for bosses, etc.
As for saving, once you clear a section of a stage you can replay it any time, but you can't progress from that point - you have to do it in one sitting eventually.
Every hour you play will unlock an extra credit in arcade mode, and after ten hours you will unlock freeplay, so eventually you can just tank your way through if you're having trouble. I can get to stage 7 on Normal before I run out of credits, personally.
Version is indistinguishable from the PS2 game imo. It's one of my favourite shmups ever.
I'm not well versed in the genre but I'm aware it's considered a classic (I think) so I might grab it since it's so cheap
Have you played the PSN version, or are you comments based on the PS2 disc version? I think some of the PSN classics have input lag, which is fine with something like Final Fantasy but may be less fine with something like this
and for some reason the ps1 tile doesnt show anything for me, ever!
That's the demo.

I've played both and I couldn't notice any difference, personally, but I'm one of those gamers who doesn't mind 30fps so maybe I'm not the best barometer.
Well, they're not my favourite type of game although they are nice for a change. Also, the price and knowing that Siberia 3 is on it's way to PS4 made it seem like it was well worth picking up the collection.

really?
im looking on my vita, in the non-demo section.
My fault for not looking at the whole description i guess, but still in the wrong spot.

Wait, since when can TLOU multiplayer be bought separately?
I must have completely missed this, but i'm totally down for that. I wish more games would offer a separate download for mp at a good price. Can't find it on the UK store though.

Seconding this. Sony, get your shit together! I want to give you my money!
I think you need the standalone version of Left Behind for this.
