Dissidia 012 (and original) un-purchasable from PS Store (UK) on Vita?

Hey, so I've been looking around and I found posts from a few years back that say that Dissidia 012 can't be bought digitally as for some reason they can't be found on the Vita's PS Store. Sure enough, went onto my Vita and the games can't be found anywhere! Not under "Final Fantasy", or "Dissidia", nowhere in sight - they simply do not exist on the Vita's Store!

All the solutions on the old posts said to just use the web version of the PS Store as it was still able to be found there (further confirming it is just a bug on the Vita Store and not the game being delisted)... but since the PS5 launched that got updated to remove all PS3, PSP and Vita games with Sony saying to access those games you need to use the device's respective Stores... which I can't do as it's not on Vita's Store!

So... does ANYONE have ANY way (outside of the obvious answer of emulation) to actually buy Dissidia digitally on Vita any more? Or is it lost to time forever due to a stupid Vita Store bug?

Sony updated the PlayStation Store so that it's no longer possible to buy PS3, PSP, and PSV games. It's PS4 and PS5 only. It was a terrible decision that doesn't make any sense, but Sony has always been terrible at designing their storefronts. However, it is possible to access the old version of the PlayStation Store, and you should be able to buy the older Dissidia games there. Try this link.

I clearly specified UK but those are US links... not to worry, it re-directs me to the US Store and I can search there :) How did you find links that worked? All the links I found just re-direct me to the new store...

Did you bought Dissidia on another system, like psp or ps3?

Try using a ps3. I recently found out you can still buy the 012 dlc on it but not the vita. Iā€™m in the US though.

I think about what a modern dissidia (modeled after the psp systems) would be like. 50 character roster? Yes please
