Unable to transfer Resident Evil 2 from the PS3 to the Vita

ps-vitaresident-evil-2-1998

I recently purchased FFVIII, Alundra and Resident Evil 2 from PSN and downloaded them on my PS3 with the intention of transferring them to my Vita to play on the move.

When I enter the content manager screen with the vita connected to the PS3 I can see FFVIII and Alundra, and have successfully transferred them, but for some reason Resident Evil 2 doesn't show up.

The description on the PlayStation store states that the game is compatible with the Vita so why is it not showing up?

I have tried repeatedly connecting/disconnecting content manager as this was suggested on some forms but with no success.

edit: Both the Vita and the PS3 are the latest firmware at time of writing.

Sometimes the install to Vita/PSP from PS3 action fails. Typically the optimal solutions is to setup your handheld so it is activated with the same PSN profile as you use on your PS3. Then, once you log into the PSN store from your handheld you can go to your account transaction history and download directly to the system from there over WiFi.

edit: After some additional research on this I found no news about it being pulled, but I did find lot's of people asking why it's gone now. While I know it bypasses Sony's Q&A process, there does appear to be a method for installing it to the Vita anyways that you can read about here: joystiq.com/2012/08/28/... NOTE! YMMV and since this does bypass quality controls, installing software this way could risk issues on your Vita, so please be aware of this risk before attempting
