yellowwindow7 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 WTF? oh god please let this to be not real.... first the disk top stores, then the communities on the ps4 and now this? what's next, killing the live with Playstation and shutting down the Share Factory? What The HELL is going on with Playstation recently? what made these situation to be frustrating is that Sony is been silent with all the shitstorms they caused lately. for god sake i'm one of the fools whose still using and playing the ps3 and buying stuff from its store, and I'm the one who was hoping for a one big ps3 final sales then we got a frightening news like this? Jim Ryan leadership is really bad! this is the same idiot that claim no one wants to play these classic games and he got some backlash on that statement. now that Digital Only ps5 is started to sound so silly if this is true, Players Has No Limit my ass! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games, avatars, themes, DLCs, etc. Because forking over $50, $80 & $60 for BO2, BO1 & MW3 respectively is ALOT compared to current gen games that go down to <$40 just a few months after release. Yup, some prices are ridiculous. I want some of the Cod DLC but no way I'm paying full price. I regret not buying a lot DLC while it was on sale, that's a mistake I haven't made on PS4. Well actually i have with 1 game, Infinite Warfare, i forgot to buy the season pass last time it was on sale, that was aged ago 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godo Fwar Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Sony don't want us to be playing games from their older systems anymore. And that really sucks. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I think they are freeing up bandwidth to expand on psnow and add a dlc payment option to it. i could be wrong. but i hope im not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL0CKW0RK133 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 With how close we are to April 1st, I chose to remain skeptical about anything on twitter until Sony gives their official word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewfd Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Could it be Sony is testing the waters and letting a 3rd party announce this to see how people react first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said previously, they gave a whole year's notice of monthly PS Plus games ending on PS3 and Vita, you'd think permanently shutting down storefronts would be a tad more important than that, and would also warrant a year's notice minimum. Right now, this is just information from a random website nobody knows anything about. This may all be nonsense and Sony will give more notice when it does become a reality. All I'm saying is don't delay too much on buying stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said I already bought everything I want for PS3 and Vita ages ago. I'm more worried about preservation and other online capabilities if this does turn out to be true for me personally.

A person from a support team wouldn't have a clue about it until Sony announces it, or it's like 24 hours prior to the announcement. That's typical for most support teams.

NeelBehl Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 2 hours ago, Otonio_Bruno said: A bit of repeat of my last post, but I've been using the links provided in this thread: And I did some math on how much I need to spend each month before the store closes by the rumored date: About U$10 per month (After currency conversion) until July worth of DLCs if I don't buy Mass Effect 3 DLC, not half bad as thought it would be. This list is missing some PS1/PS2 RPG Classics I would love to have it digitally in my account but I have other "means" to get them anyway, so it's all good. Unfortunately with the direction Sony is taking recently, I can't help but believe that this rumor may be true after all. I hate rumors and spreading misinformation and that's why I'm still taking this with a grain of salt, but I'm also preparing myself if it comes to be true, better be safe than sorry I guess. u may as well get the mass effect collection on ps4 later this year, will possibly have better frame rates per sec and bw compatible on ps5 and im sure the dlc will be on disc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right when I picked up BO2 for like $5 the season pass was 50% off. That was the last time it was on sale too. Pretty sure BO1 & MW3 DLCs were discounted then too ?

HoorayForTyler Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I’m more upset with the fact that it took this terrible news for me to buy a Vita and memory card. I’ve been wanting to try to handheld system for years. They were very expensive purchases, and I do believe the prices will continue to increase due to demand over the coming weeks.

EqualityEarth Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is why I don’t watch the news ? This has to be fake btw. No way. Not this soon after rolling out the new store and telling us all to use the slow console stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 If this does turn out to be true, I wonder how Sony will react to the backlash, if they do at all. It is interesting to see how much backlash this is getting when it's still just a rumour. I don't remember the Wii Shop shut down getting tons of backlash, and that was official from the start if memory serves. As far as I'm aware, you can still re-download previously purchased games from the Wii Shop as well. Though I imagine many people emulate the Wii nowadays, or have a homebrewed Wii. Perhaps how easy the Wii was to mod was part of the reason there wasn't such a huge outcry. Not everything on PS3, PSP or Vita is backed up elsewhere, even now, and homebrewing Playstation consoles involves far more risks than the Wii (possible account bans, bricking the console, etc.), not to mention I don't think hacking any Playstation console is anywhere near as easy as a Nintendo one, but I haven't ever tried myself so I'm not 100% certain. And emulation for PS3 is still pretty crap, Vita emulation is even worse. Certainly going to breathe a massive sigh of relief if this whole thing does turn out to be fake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
