Sony refunds for broken PSN titles

pss.jpgSony's PlayStation Store has had a rough start in life. Firstly it entered the world against the Live Marketplace which had already been established. It then had to contend with gamers turning their backs on it due to lack of content but then came a shining light PSOne games started appearing! Alas this was also fraught with problems and a number of titles have since been withdrawn.

Sony, however, are attempting to show good faith to those gamers who purchased one of the ill fated PSOne titles by way of offering refunds to customers who bought Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer and MediEvil from the PlayStation Store.

It would seem Sony have sent emails directly to customers stating that they would have their purchase refunded to the PlayStation Store wallet in the next seven days. Once completed Spyro 2 and MediEvil will be removed from their PS Store download list.

There has been one other title pulled from the PS Store, Crash Bandicoot 2. As yet Sony have not confirmed if users will be refunded for this title too but as the difficulties seem to be much deeper than slight glitches it is entirely possible that we will receive a similar mail about this title in the near future.

No system is without its teething difficulties and it is unfortunate that the PS Store has been hit by some very testing times. We would hope to see the titles re-appear soon presumably patched and restored to their former glory.

Let us know what PSOne titles you would love see available on the PS Store.
