Yeah this one is an absurd example of something you'd think would be more available. At this point the retro prices are so appalling I'm slowly being turned off from the hobby. I know they say "just play on what's most available" but as a stickler, there are just too many differences in modern ports. Windwaker is BTFO with bloom, symphony of the night has tons of effects missing, etc. And that's just the popular games. I know there's emulation but there's nothing like playing on original hardware and owning your game. Hoping some sort of reprinting company comes into existence and somehow makes identical reprints of retro games. Limited run is good but their retro catalogue is really narrow and has a big limited run stamp on it. But I guess accuracy would require the cooperation of the platform holders, and we know what they're like.
Yup, it's a recent change, where you can't buy directly and can't add wallet money through your PS3, but have to do so on a computer, phone, or other console. I think the Vita might have a simile issue but I can't recall.

A lot of those reprints are also goofy expensive. Like $30 for Game Boy cartridges, in the year 2022? Come on now.
You can just buy directly from the PS3 store anymore?
I remember buying the 6 Ratchet and Clank games on it last year without having to add money through the PS4 store.
A recent game I found with an absurd price was the Amazing Spiderman 2 for Xbox One.
Delisted due to licensing and the only stand alone Spidey game on Xbox One so it goes for over $100 despite it's underwhelming reception

Love how difficult Sony makes accessing any previous gen stuff...
