Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has posted a portent of doom on its website concerning the online servers for several PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable games. SCEE notes that it has wrapped its hand around the power cord and is ready to give it a good tug on June 30th and sending the following titles quietly into the offline night:

PlayStation 2

Amplitude
Destruction Derby Arenas
Everybody's Golf
EyeToy Chat
F1 '04
Jak X
Lemmings PS2
My Street
Syphon Filter Omega Strain
This is Football 2004
This is Football 2005
Twisted Metal: Black Online

PSP

Lemmings
World Tour Soccer 2

Sony Computer Entertainment America has made no similar announcement.

I can't tell if that was sarcasm,where I left my sarcasm detector?

Myke @ Apr 7th 2008 10:09PM

The only one I can see anyone actually going back to play would be TM Black, oh well

gamermasterman @ Apr 7th 2008 10:09PM

Guess I won't be buying Lemmings for my PSP then.

Mills and Boom @ Apr 8th 2008 9:58AM

Ditto. I was considering getting that game as well.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Apr 7th 2008 10:37PM

Amplitude was shut off over a year ago. A video game site called "joystiq" covered it.

Thankyou. I was about to say the same thing. It shut down quite a while ago.

SCEA and SCEE are two different regions...

OH SNAP! RTFA.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Apr 8th 2008 1:19AM

Sir:
Show me where in that other article it says "SCEE" or "SCEA". It says Sony.

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has posted a portent of doom"

"SCEE notes that it has wrapped its hand around the power cord and is ready to give it a good tug on June 30th"

"SCEE severing several servers for online PS2, PSP games"

I do believe it says it not one, not two, but three times.

RTFA.

It sad that they don't provide a way for people to set up there own small servers for internet play.

SoulBlade @ Apr 7th 2008 11:41PM

This is a pretty good argument for XBL. But... is anybody really sad to see these go?

I do think it sucks to be dropping PSP games. Still feels too young to have anything taken away.

Any game is too young to have it taken away. IMO, if you buy the game then online is part of what you're paying for. It should be kept up for at least 10 years or, preferably, until every last player has dried up. I can't say I'll be missing them much, no network adapter in my PS2, but I still object on principle.
