Motorstorm being removed from the Playstation Store?
I am getting more and more reports that, following my announce of Motorstorm Arctic Edge being the game used in Teck4’s exploit, the game is being removed from the Playstation Store. I cannot verify this for myself now, but will try to confirm this in the hours to come. I am also getting reports that some people who bought the game are seeing it disappearing from their download list. Not entirely sure if this means Sony took your money and isn’t delivering the game (which would be really bad). If you managed to get the game, be sure to install openCMA, try to not connect your vita to the network.
If indeed the game has already been removed, I’ll release HBL as soon as I can confirm this.
I wasn’t sure Sony would remove the game only based on an article from me, but it seems so… Well, at least it was available for a few hours, compared to 1hour for the Mercury Exploit a few years ago…
Hello, I can confirm that the game is removed my download list, I bought it before but it no longer shows up.
PS im on the EU version
When will the VHBL be released now?
mine is still in the downloads list (UK), ive been on airplane mode for about 5 hours or so
They can’t patch what they don’t know. So I’m assuming they figure keep it down until you release the VHBL? They’ll lose money. You should bluff them out and not release the VHBL for a while longer. That’ll learn them.
Although the problem with that is that they aren’t losing much money since its a first party game.
HIMFan: hahaha.
I can confirm it too.
on airplanemode all off for about 2-3 hours its removed from the list and removed from the german(eu) store as well.
Lucky me i just downloaded it tonight xD and backed it up on pc with opencma.

Removed from the UK Download list! Just checked. Good thing I already downloaded it >.<

Hmm must went off temporarily… Weiiiird lol My mistake lol
What you posted is the Vita noticed that you downloaded a file. What people are talking about is going into the PSN store and checking your purchase history on the Store. The game is being pulled from people’s purchase history.
– Just a small note for wololo –
I don’t think sony will take the money and run (so to speak). In the past they have pulled stuff off the store temporarily and when the issue is resolved they post them again. If not they issue refunds to everybody who purchased the game. I ran into this in the past when Silent Hill Ps1 was accidentally posted and did not work. The game was pulled and refunds where issued. I think in this case they will just fix the emu and put it up for sale again when it’s safe.
i think your article forced a lot of action in some sony facilities 😉
as i wrote in another comment:
game is removed from store and dl list (eu/germany).
with openCMA i can copy in both directions.
And if i leave the game and try to return i get the update message, wich i cancel always 😉 and then i can continue the game.
I was asleep or I could’ve downloaded it sooner. Sucks. I hope other dude steps up and helps us out.
Damnit i just got home to download it and it took too long to get the psn card…now its gone…*** do i do now???
wololo: what do you think? If the update message appears .. for the game.. do you think the exploit has been leaked, or they found what the exploit is?
Not sure yet. I won’t be able to test anything for the next 18hours or so as I’m away from home.
does that mean no release until you’re home?
right, I don’t have the files handy
I tried to crash the game a bunch on my un updated vita and was able to pull a few off. With the updated firmware I could still pull it off. With the moto update and firmware no crashes. So yeah it looks as if they tried to block you.
TVtheET: wait for another exploit 🙁
What was that other exploit that was discovered by ?i forget his name? Can hbl be ported to that?
YOSH*
supper bummed, finally got my UK PSN account set up only to find that it’s no long available :-(. Hopefully there will be another opportunity soon…
what could happen if i dont use openCMA and if i stay connected on the network with my Vita?
We should just keep finding exploits in games and eventually sony will have to either give up and let us have vhbl or lose their game business if they keep removing games.
it doesn’t really bring them… it’s just an over from top. other people who buy games will still do
I bought Motorstorm: Arctic Edge in 2009, I asked Sony support if it would be available soon , if not then I demanded a full refund for the price I bought it at. Waiting a reply.
cool,but it seems not
I’m not too happy about this infact I was just about to download and install.
i can confirm, motorstorm arctic edge is no longer available at the HK ps store.
also its no longer listed in my downloads list. so i cant download it again in case i formatted my memcard.
i think its ok to release vhbl now.
Wololo,I downloaded the game,The game after being removed from the Playstation Store！
How?
When I tried to go PSN, it prompts me to system update my psvita.
What system version are you on? The latest (afaik) is 1.61… did they issue a new update?
What’s your current firmware?
My current firmware is 1.61 after I see the message i immediately turned off my wifi. I’ll try to check using a pc if they have a new firmware.
hmm… i reinstall cma and connect my psvita, it says i have the latest firmware. its kind of strange i cant connect to psn earlier and it keeps saying i need to update my firmware.
it has to be a bug cause I have 1.61 and can conect just fine
Checked a few stores. It’s not on the UK/HK/EU/JP stores. I think it’s been removed from all of them. Kind of sucks. Tbh, I think the game should have been announced WITH the release.
Thanks to the idiots who didn’t release the code along with the name of the game used for the exploit. Because of those idiots I’m now possibly out $20 to $30 USD if Sony won’t give me a refund because look what happened to Mercury! It’s one thing to mess with a demo, but it’s a whole different ball game when you mess with a full retail game! You’ll start *** people off. As soon as HBL is released I’m sending it and the source code to Sony (only if I don’t get my refund because I wouldn’t like to be sc*** over because of some stupid hacker who can’t handle stock configuration).
I fail to understand how releasing the exploit with the name of the game would have been any better. If anything, Sony would have had an easier way to confirm and patch the issue.
yup you are correct. if wololo released vhbl and the game at the same time. it will just be patched just hours after the vhbl is released. so same result will happen.
the only advantage i can see to this issue is that PSVITA with vhbl installed can double up in prices just like ps3 units with 3.55 stock firmware.
hes trllin wolo, if you see his past comment he said he bought the game in 2009,dumb troll
No I legit bought the game in 2009, I am not a troll. I swear to God that I bought the game for the game back in 2009. If you don’t believe me then just ignore me. I just don’t like getting sc***.
heck I even have the proof of purchase email to back it up so get off of me and shut the heck up.
Even if you bought the game, you’re being a bit childish. Once the flaw is patched the game will return to PSN and you’ll have access to your purchase again.
If sony really can’t get it back on PSN then they will issue some kind of refund for it.
Yet acting like you’re owed a full refund immediately because it is temporarily being taken down is just making your self look stupid.
Nate. Just wait it out, the game will get back. Just because you coincedentally wanted to install the game today is just bad luck. They’ll patch it, done.
Common sense gets me to say: you could’ve back it up since the day you bought it, that’s too easy.
It’s what I’ve done immediatly after the download from PSN.
i like it when people turn if he had gotten the game earlier instead of doubting you then he would have been fine but you even stated several times that dont buy the game just for vhbl and that your not responsible if it gets patched once you’ve bought the game, its sony that’s taken it off the store not wololo, and trying to ruin it for the few lucky people isnt going to get you anywhere, once it’s released sony will have access to it without you, so you wont be doing anything giving them the vhbl
just a question :
Am i right that as long as there is no Firmware update and i DO NOT download an update for the game if one is available i am good to go? What i mean is :
Can the Vita download patches for games without having the user click on it?
Zimond: I am not sure
any1 know where my backup will be saved, i can access it through the cma on the vita but where will the files be stored on my comp, ive check everywhere i can think of
dont worry ive found it now in the most obvious place “C:\Users\test\Documents\PS Vita\SYSTEM\4634590b44fcef02”
Confirming the statement:
EU PSN (Germany). Motorstorm removed from Store and Download-List. Looked up via PS Vita.
Game still present on memory card, no update availble via yellow Update-Button so far.
lol, the day wololo stood still.
Confirming Motorstorm A E removed from EU PS Store (Sweden) and from download list. No new firmware available. No removal/disabling of the game from memory card however (so far), which I actually half expected to happen when signing in on my account 😉
I can confirm it was also removed from the US store and from my downloads list here US.
Faarrrrrrkkkkkk i left it to download before i went to work but my vita went to sleep halfway through the download… im so *** coz now its not on psn 🙁 is there a way to share somebodies backup they made through open cma or is that linked to their account?
Oh and yer its removed from psn australia.
Its also been removed from dutch psn and from DL list as well
Yep sure is.
this is some bs im from US i bought a uk psn card and a jp card and didnt even get to download the damn game
removed from Russian store
Could not see it either, bummer 🙁 I only bought the vita for homebrew in the first place lol!
Next time please don’t post the name of the game! You should beam the name into our minds with your jedi powers 😉
Hehe, what do you think I’ve been doing since the 22nd? Some people did feel the force hopefully 😛
Yeah it was quite powerful beam! 😀
Removed from Swiss store as well…
Possible way around this…gamestop sells motorstorm as dlc for us psp. transfer dlc through ps3. im waiting for the download code…no ps3 to test till i get to my friends…so if this works should still release exploit
Can confirm that is it not on Japanese PS Store.
it wont work, this has already been discussed.
and I’m not one to say I told you so, but …
