If you absolutely need anR-Typegame on your PSP Go, your window of opportunity is rapidly closing. Irem is removing almost all of its content from the PlayStation Network, meaning eight PSP games and four PS1 games will no longer be purchasable come August 11. Similarly, all demos, downloadable content, videos, and themes related to these games will be gone forever.

And those PlayStation Home Lounges? Nine of them related to these games will close on September 1, with sales ceasing in every store but theDoki Doki Suikodenlounge on August 1. That leaves just theDoki Doki SuikodenandPachiparalounges, the latter likely due to the 3DS game they’re working on for that series.

See, this is the problem people have with digital distribution. Irem has made no comment as to why this is happening, and now this content is no longer available for purchase. Sure, you could always buy the physical releases, but still, the impermanence of digital availability makes me hesitant to support a download service. Here is a list of what will be gone forever:
