@maemikemae The right analog stick was introduced in May of 1998 with the first DualShock controller. Pocket Fighter was released in June of the same year. Doubt it had analog or even rumble support!

If "the game is only playable on the PS3 and not on the psp due to technical issues" then I don't think it should've been released. If there are technical issues and it doesn't work the way every single other PSOne Classic game has for the four plus year history of the program, then have Capcom keep trying until it's fixed and if it's still broken, DON'T RELEASE IT! If they'd slapped an upscaled coat of paint on it, widescreen support, and a batch of trophies, I'd gladly pay $15 for it. But an SD PSOne game with no online component or achievement incentive to get slipped into the PSN Store incomplete with almost zero notice after they had several opportunities when promoting the title to do so) is a straight up d*ck move. I have many other fully featured PS3 games stacking up (no pun intended, lol) at home and almost nothing to play on the go, I was looking forward to this. I even followed Sony's blog on new releases and was aware in advance of the release. I should have been made aware of it's rather severe limitations, and so should every other PS3/PSP user like myself! Thank you for publishing this, Joystiq.

@lostmongoose Normally, I'd agree with sentiment like this, but the PSOne Classics program is more than 4 years old- there is clearly an established and expected precedent. This is a basic, highly touted feature of games released under the banner and it being incomplete should at least be made very obvious. There should be a bold warning at the least and all the press leading up to this should've mentioned this glaring feature omission- but if you ask me, this shouldn't have been released if they couldn't get it to work properly. If it wouldn't run properly on the PSP, it shouldn't have been issued as a PSOne Classic.

@Nolan North I shouldn't have to check the blog of the developer of each game I buy before I make a purchase, nor should I even have to check Sony's blog. There should be a bold warning, at the least- but if you ask me, this shouldn't have been released if they couldn't get it to work properly. If it wouldn't run properly on the PSP, it shouldn't have been issued as a PSOne Classic. "Upscale" the graphics and release it on PSN with trophy support and charge $15 for it, but don't give us something that, by your own admission, is not working due to technical issues. And for god sake Sony, if your going to release it incomplete, you need to make this perfectly clear. They've been hyping this release for weeks in blog posts and press and not once did they say anything. Also, the Capcom post claims it'll be $4.99 until the 14th. I paid the full $5.99.

@ Ashitaka

Hahahahaha... I am NO X-bot. I love my PS3 (even though it's YLODed on me 3 times) and my PSP and I have always been die-hard Sony DF. I have a 360 that is essentially a paperweight that occasionally plays DVDs. Fact is, this theme f*cking sucks my ass. I am allowed to be critical when I feel like I've been ripped-off and you should be too. Don't assume that anyone who has anything slightly negative to say is trying to bash the company that served the crap to them on a silver platter. Download this POS theme for $3 and we'll see how happy you are with it. Don't just choke down every sh*t piece of content they give you and smile. Pathetic, seriously. Even the best companies pull some shady BS sometimes.

But keep pointing fingers and sticking your nose in the air. See how far that gets you...

I feel your pain. 3rd YLOD for me on my 60GB, though after going bananas on a supervisor, they fixed my last one free as a "gesture of good faith" which is great, but doesn't bring my data or gamesaves back. Did they offer you an "upgrade" to a Slim model? That's about the best admission of a hardware flaw your going to get and makes said design flaw more painfully obvious to me.

As for your video content, call customer service. They will activate your new system and deactivate your old one- and also place all your old video content in a download folder such as the one you have automatically in the game store. You can get it all back, it just takes a phone call. You also won't be able to buy any video content until you do this, FYI. Trust me, been here a few times before, unfortunately... :/

If it's the Dynamic Theme that was put up in the PSN Store this week, it's by far the most sorry excuse for a Dynamic Theme I've seen yet. I have several other Dynamic Themes and the animation is excellent- however this theme’s animation is laughable. There’s about 6 frames of animation and they tick by at about 2 fps. The preview image is a sunny, green Rivendale scene (wrong spelling, don’t care) and then what I end up with is a drab, Mordor landscape? So ugly and so b o r i n g. As a theme designer myself, I’m disgusted by sloppy work like this and disappointed that Sony doesn’t hold their premium content partners to higher standards and perform better QC.

Not worth $3 and certainly not worth buying an inferior set of "theatrical version" Blu-rays- especially when the Director's Cuts are on the way soon.

Shame on you, New Line. And shame on Sony for letting you sell us this trash.

I thought "Ghost in The Shell 2: Innocence" was as good as the first. It's a very different film, but not any worse for it. Haven't actually watched my copy of "2.0" on Blu-ray yet, but now I'm scared. Guess I'll keep my original DVD copy just in case...

Great news about "Stand Alone Complex," but I can't get into serialized anime. After buying 12 volumes of X on DVD a few years ago, I was broke and bitter. I only buy complete collections now and only at reasonable prices.

DOA: Paradise, baby! Downloaded it on Thursday, glad I didn't have to buy the UMD. Have to move some music around in my folders for the custom STs (!!!) and I'll be playing all weekend at work...

When I get home, it's GoWIII and maybe watching my better half finish up Heavy Rain. If I manage to complete GoWIII, I have Bioshock 2, Darksiders, Bayonetta, & Dante's Inferno to work on. Damn you, 3rd YLOD- setting me back to square one on BS2 and DS when I have so many other games to finish! Got my free Red Faction, but not really planning on playing it, and when would I find the time? Maybe I'll leave it in the plastic and sell it for $100,000 in 25 years...

Please. There's not a single unjagged line in that screenshot.

Looks like ass.

I guess we can consider the Wii defense force mobilized...
