PSOneClassics

Today will be the last update for PSN on a Thursday, as you can see from last week’s issue of Pulse they’ve decided to change it up and have the updates on Tuesdays from now on. No doubt this is to allow games that come out on retail to get their updates that day from the Network, and to have release balance with other systems. Xbox Live updates every Tuesday, so you might as well be there to compete. Also possibly those people who like to download their PSP games will be able to get them day one on release day??? (I feel sorry for those of you who bought a PSPgo…)

While playing through the new Heavy Rain exclusive on my 80 gig PS3  this weekend, Sony was tinkering with their website, and apparently with the underlying code with PSN as well. Now many users are reporting that they are getting signed out from the network, and can’t even play some games offline like the Heavy Rain title I’ve been enjoying.

BUT! It gets more interesting, I decided I wanted to play my digital copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 that I had bought this past weekend when it was on sale, but it’s reverted it seems to the trial version…. odd….

What are PS One Classics?

PS One Classics are original Playstation (PSX) games that are released for digital download. Sony started releasing PSOneClassics on the Playstation Network when it debuted in 2006. But the big launch of titles stared at the 2009 E3 conference in California. Japan had received hundreds of original playstation titles for download to play on the PSP and PS3 systems by this point, but North America and Europe had only a few.
