Yesterday's PSN release of Persona 2:Eternal Punishment was exciting for many RPG fans, but disappointing for others. Players hoping to experience the game on PSP or Vita discovered that it would not download to those devices.

The game was intended to be playable on PS3, Vita, and PSP, but the PS3 version is the only one working right now. Sony's Morgan Haro apologized for the inconvenience and explained that a fix is in the works, "worst case scenario…it may be a few weeks."

Were you hoping to play this game on a handheld? Did this mistake affect you?

Its fine, I've waited this long I can wait a little longer.
by Megas75 Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:04 AM

As long as they still let us play it on those platforms, I'm fine.

Eternal Punishment is the only game in the series I haven't played

*The Vita looks to the heavens and screams about the misfortune its always having* What did the Vita screamed? It screamed this: "GIMME A BREAK!!!!!!!!" :(

Well, I have a psp, but aren't the psp versions of these games crappy anyway? As in, missing features? Regardless, this sucks.

It could be a few weeks? Sounds like no small problem. How did they not know this was an issue?
by Boyzby Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:14 AM

I think a few weeks compared to not knowing when we were going to get the game is fine. It's not like I can't still play it on my PS3.
by Zachary Pligge Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:23 AM

As long as it's being fixed to be playable on those platforms, this is only a minor hiccup. No worries!
by lavosslayer Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:33 AM

At least its not like Final Fantasy V, where we have no clue if its ever going to be playable on a portable Sony handheld...
by Brittany Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:50 AM

I haven't bough tit yet, but I though it was for PS3 only.
by CyberAzure Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:55 AM

Ouch, that's not good. And sucks for those who certainly have waited a long time for it to finally be release. Well, gonna have to be patient a bit longer for the fix.
by Alex Beyer Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:23 PM

Read: someone found an exploit using that game and they took it down to patch it.
by game designer Thomas Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:23 PM

Well i was on the PSN blog yesterday reading about the Persona game/people complaining(person mostly)...but i though it was only for PS3 i don't remember reading about it being on PSP/Vita?
by Paradigmthefallen Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:43 PM

Want this, and conveniently would be playing it only on my PS3.
by nightcrawlerash13 Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:48 PM

I think I might get this for the PS3 sometime!!!
by Blade of the Fallen Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:59 PM

Just buy the updated one from PSN
by OverlordMeril Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 01:39 PM

Wrecked it for me... But I'm still hoping they bring out the PSP remake anyway.
by xghost777 Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 01:42 PM

Sometimes these games work by downloading on PS3 and then transferring it over, though that doesn't seem to be the case here. I want to give Persona 2 a shot once its ready for the Vita.
by KingpinLarry Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 02:23 PM

I don't know if the PSN version is cheaper, but I think I'd rather go get the PSP physical copy from the gamestop down the street.

The release to PSN makes me want to bust out my PS1 copy and enjoy another playthrough.
