Vita downloads and file transfer dead for all console owners. Currently No ETA from Sony on if they’ll return (Downtime 24+ hours) [Update: Back Up]

Just checked and it doesn't work.
If this is really them shutting it down then fuck them so hard. Bring on the lawsuits.
This whole bullshit is really worrying. The PSP can download anything and it doesn't even have the PS Store. That's the weirdest part.

Hah! When you fuckers changed the webstore I already bought and downloaded everything I wanted!
Seriously fix this shit it can't be that hard to keep running

I still don't understand why they killed the web store.
I get starting a new ecosystem to improve things, but why can't they keep up a legacy store as well?

As weird as it may sound to some of you, but if it's for a greater good (here: pleasing new PS5 owners with a working OS) you may also decide to break something else intentionally when that is the only option for a company to make it happen in time.
They will eventually fix it.

It's a good signal tbh, means it's some occasional fuck up instead of something planned.
It's weird as fuck indeed because it makes no sense, the half a dozen of people still using the Vita surely aren't holding back anything regarding the PS5.
Maybe because the PSP doesn't go through a store that it's possible to download. With Vita you have to open the store.
Agreed.
Like just leave it as it is. Don't update it or anything. Just leave it as is hidden away somewhere.
But the thing is this makes me worried that if the store goes down you won't be able to download anything anymore. Unlike the PSP, you need the store to access the download list.
Yeah but I somehow had a faint hope that no matter what happens to the store, they would still let you access the download list in someway.
This issue however destroys all that hope.
They surely can't get away with ignoring the situation as it is.
They will for sure have to explain what the heck is going on. Otherwise lawsuits.
The least Sony could do by making us buy their shitty proprietary memory cards was keep the store up indefinitely to allow folks to redownload their digital purchases as needed.
I'm not too excited about hacking my Vita to use SDVita, but after this if the store ever comes back up I may be forced to.

Losing the old store was one thing, but fucking up the store ON THE VITA?
Fuck off Sony. Just.. fuck off.
I'm honestly starting to hate Sony if they did this on purpose.
I guess when its backup I'll have to backup ever game/doc I bought to my computer like so many did before. I never expected, bug or not, that they'd just off downloads.

I also don't know what the exact situation is right now, but even if a person is in that situation, the best thing they can do is not updating the console until an exploit comes for the firmware they're in. That's what I did in 2017.
This.
But seeing ppl mention "lawsuits" is still hilarious though.
They likely will.
The absolute silence after numerous people have asked for a full day is a bit much though.
It's a shame several great games were download-only. My physical Vita collection is massive (300+), but there are several games we don't have physical copies of.
That all digital future continues to age like the finest warm milk left out in the sun
I'm gonna wipe my external and just use it for vita backups.
Is downloading games to the vita, IF the store comes backup, and using the content manager app to put them on my PC the best way to go about it?
I have like 200 Vita games, most I havent even got to yet. Bought a few when the old ps store left, too. Didnt want to do it then but I guess I'm gonna have to backup :/

If it comes back I will redownload Lunar. If it doesn't I'm hacking my PSTV so I can have access to my purchases.
st least I have a bunch of physical titles, and my PSP works still

I have every single game that I bought backed up on multiple hard drives so I'm fine, but this is bullshit.
The worst thing is my Vita card has got itself corrupted a few times in its life, so even stuffing all my favourite games on it wouldn't bring peace of mind because I'd just be waiting for the day when I get an error code when trying to boot every game. Vita means sadness.
I've been sent proof that funnily enough, the software solution that folks use to download pirated games from PSN works right now, even if downloading games that you own legitimately does not.
Great job, Sony! /s

I hate you so much Sony. You're lucky at one point you created the Vita so I can't hate you quite as much as I would like to.
It creates a file that you can import into excel (or google) and it will list all the games/demos/dlc you have on your account. You can then sort it by platform so you have a list of everything you actually own. I have close to 7600 items since I got my ps3 so it's a long list and hard to navigate on the store. This way I can use the list to figure out games, I've played and download games I forgot about or haven't downloaded for my ps3/vita/psp etc Due to have plus since the beginning, the list is huge haha.
Just do it. Grab the SD2Vita and do it. It is absolutely worth it. I've never had an issue and I can now fit all of my games on a 128GB microSD. The only downside is that you lose the game card slot, because that's where the SD2Vita adapter lives. But if you've gone all digital like I have, it's not an issue.
I wouldn't have done it if there existed a large, reliable official memory card, but that does not exist. The 64GB cards have a very high failure rate over time, and after mine died, I said forget it, did the hack, and ordered the adapter. I bought digital copies of the few physical games I had, sold the physical copies, and called it a day.
https://vita.hacks.guide. It couldn't be simpler.
I kinda get the feeling that the way things played out with hacked Vitas getting to download whatever they wanted directly from Sony servers pissed them off a great deal
Cheers; I will probably look into this even if the shop gets fixed.
I'm doing this right now. Thanks for the post.It would be highly illegal if they did this, so let's just hope it resolves itself soon. Otherwise I would definitely be part of a class-action lawsuit when it arrives.
Also everyone should check this website and do it ASAP! I did it a month ago, so hopefully it still works.
Save your PlayStation download history, before you can’t [UPDATE: You Can’t]
[UPDATED 12/21/20] Surprise! The Australian and European PlayStation Store websites came back online around December 17th. I’ve seen no official explanation as to why they were down or any in…delistedgames.com
Sidenote: I've only posted about it now, because I didn't want it to get widespread attention and be disabled by Sony. It's not my article, I just awesomely stumbled across it.
edit: HOLY SHIT! This is amazing. I'm seeing some PS3 games I'd completely forgotten about lol. You rock!
