Sony to refund PSN purchases of MediEvil and Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer - Image 1 Sony to refund PSN purchases of MediEvil and Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer - Image 2 


Sony has given word that it will be refunding those who purchased Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer and MediEvil from the PlayStation Network (PSN). Both games reportedly could not load certain levels which were necessary in completing the games.

The company has sent out emails to its customers that the refunds will be added to the PlayStation Store wallet within the next seven days. After this, both games will then be dropped from the PSN lists. The exact statements of the publisher regarding the matter are as follows:

You will be aware from the description of the product on PlayStation Store that some variation in functionality from the original PSone version is to be anticipated. However there appear to be more significant technical issues.


While it's a bit sad that Sony had to remove these games from their online library, its great that they've decided to refund the people who did purchase the game. Hopefully, they'll work out the problems and have the games available for download once again in the future.

Spyro 2 was Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. Why did they change the name?! Sorry off topic

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (also known as Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer in Europe and Spyro x Sparx: Tondemo Tours in Japan)

# Need More PSone Games For DownloadCHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2007-08-10 07:51
I wish they would hurry up with the PSone game issues and release classic hits on the Playstation Network for download. By now they could have released a lot more if they put more effort into it.

So if the official PSN releases for these games are impossible to load all necessary data, does this mean a Popstation conversion of said games would also suffer this problem?



Apart from security measures, what's the difference between PSN releases and Popstation conversions anyway?

They're mostly releasing things they can get the rights to easy (ie, games that have sequals for the PSP), and they're focusing too much on games playable by PSP. There are plenty of games for PS1 that won't (probably) work on the PSP due to L/R2 and the right stick, but for 6 bucks it'd be well worth it just to be able to play them on the PS3.



I know they can get the rights as Japan's PSN is overloaded in PS1 games; they may just be waiting until the install base is profitable here in the states and in the UK.



Also, Both of these games were genuine classics, and I hope very much that these come out (fixed) again in the future.

It's a pity too, I'd much rather had them fix it than send the money back to my 'wallet'

What a silly comment, especially from people plagued with hardware issues.

get a 360, pay live subscription forever to play demos, buy a stupid keypad for typing on something because there is no internet, buy wireless controller, worry about red lights everyday, pay shipping handling and no gaming for few weeks when red rings occur, pay for background, buy extra drive for high def movies, be a stupid idiot who pays money for ridiculous virtual things forever.



sorry not my kind of thing, i would rather spend 500$ one time fee than pay forever for something free. xbl will not be so much better than psn after a few years, i stick to free.

# More PS1 -but PSP functionality importantdamonous 2007-08-11 03:45
I agree that an 'easy boost' for the amount of quality downloads available on PSN would be to raid the PS1 back catalog. However, I disagree that the download-to-PSP function is not important. I think the value comes in to play for being able to use on both. Plus, for some reason, you can map digital controls to the analog stick on PSP but not PS3 (especially nice on Destruction Derby). And, for PSP, a game like JetMoto is actually quite unplayble (even though it is an available title) because it relies too much on the secondary flipper controls which are not available on PSP. :-(
