Monster Hunter Series To Be Removed From The PlayStation Store?

Playstation vita Hack Sony Monster Hunter PSP Playstation Store

The PlayStation Vita Hacking team is apparently about to claim a few more victims on the PlayStation Portable side of things if a recent blog post from the well known website wololo.net is to be believed. But seeing how everything they've posted so far has turned out to be correct, those of you who own any of the digital copies of the Monster Hunter games might want to load them up onto your systems right now.

A few months ago an exploit was found in the PSP games Motorstorm: Arctic Edge and Everybody Tennis that allowed PlayStation Vita owners to emulate PSP games and run some homebrew on Sony's newest handheld. Upon announcing that these games had an exploit, Sony quickly removed them from the store and kept them off for nearly a month before a patched game was released.

This removal barred people from buying the game, but also barred people who had already purchased the game from downloading it onto their systems. Today it was announced that the popular PSP game Monster Hunter Freedom Unite has this same flaw, and in fact most of the Monster Hunter series could be used to exploit the PlayStation Vita's inner workings.

The blog goes on to warn potential system exploiters that Sony will more than likely be removing all of the Monster Hunter games from the PlayStation Store within the next few hours or days. And seeing how long they took with games like Motorstorm, we might not be seeing the popular series return at all this month.

So I guess you should get to downloading them if you want to have access to them any time soon. You can view the original blog posting below..

Monster Hunter PS Vita Exploit

They just need to face the reality that the Vita will be hacked and that's that. I sometimes think companies waste time fighting hackers. The people who will use a hacked Vita to play pirated Vita games are in the minority. Most real Sony gamers are hooked on trophies anyway and will purchase legit copies.
I can't wait until they find a universal exploit and Sony takes down the entire PSN store. They're being such idiots about this.
That would also mean taking down the entire psn and we don't want that again do we......
By now, most Monster Hunter fans would have already bought the game already. Still, Sony loses potential new customers and the ones who want to have homebrew for taking it off the market. Sony will keep losing this battle.
Unless they find a way to boot without a game that will never be taken off the PSN or find an unsign App Launcher then Sony will be winning until then.
The biggest problem is that with these tactics, Sony's win is harmful to consumers. Could also be harmful to Sony in the long run as well, since the Vita is doing poorly already without consumers worrying about their games being pulled.
