I wouldn't take what they say with a grain of salt This. Unless you have a very specific issue (some account issues, issues with purchases, etc.) they’re generally unhelpful. Case in point: I was told by support it’d be completely fine to update my PS3 with an Ethernet cable if my WiFi & Bluetooth chip weren’t working. They weren’t aware that doing that could brick the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty common knowledge that the wireless module has to be functioning for a firmware update to install, otherwise you'll get stuck in an infinite boot loop of trying to install the firmware Edited March 26, 2021 by SnowxSakura 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Well again, the reason people are pissed off is because potentially there’s going to be a lot of digital content that could well be lost forever. Not online only games mind you, but games and DLC you can enjoy at your own leisure. To sit there and not make up a word after IGN and other big websites have already spread this rumor is unprofessional. Jim Ryan is basically saying “A game from 2004, why the fuck would anyone play that?”, confirming his stance. He doesn’t give a shit about the games or the gamers. Sony is gradually tearing so much of what made them great. Their library is still solid, but their management and corporate control leaves much to be desired.

And the dates come and go with nothing happen. That should teach people not to be such Chicken Littles, but it probably wouldn’t. After almost 5 days that rumors were published, I believe Sony will indeed not address it all and at the end this rumor was just fake news : Sony is literally profiting from people panic buying (Guilty of that too) and no other gaming news outlets ever got any ink that this might be true. Still there is a heeding to be taken: Playstation Store won't live forever on older generations and since there are no more sale for those consoles, one might just plan out their future purchases so they don't get surprised and panicking when these rumors start to rise again.

Look at how many people this has touched. Also, this is the sort of thing that Trophy hunters care about because most of us have PS3/ Vita games in our backlog. I know we can go physical but this is shutting a huge door and locking people out of so many opportunities. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hysteria Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I got feelings that Sony won’t comment on that & the days will pass like normal days ? like really the rumor got wild & it all over Twitter, YouTube goggle search & articles & they didn’t hear anything ??!

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Considering it's already been this long now, I doubt Sony is going to comment on the rumour or the backlash surrounding it. They'll either actually announce the store closures on March 31st (end of fiscal year, plus "The Gamer" article does state they plan to make the announcement at the end of this month), or days, weeks, months will go by and nothing will happen and everyone will forget about this rumour. Either way, if it's mid April and it's still crickets from Sony, I'm going to say it's safe to assume the rumours held no water. Literally all we can do is wait now, no point contacting support, they're not going to know, people will get different answers from different support reps and will be no closer to an actual confirmation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally ill put on my tin foil hat and wait for March 31. On April 1 I can breathe a sigh of relief if there was no announcement or anything. I just hope that the “unverified source” isnt Jim Ryan haha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtlePM Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Well, considering you need the Playstation Store app on your system to download your games, it's going to be a total bummer if rumors are true. Unless they create a "Library" like they did with PS4 and PS5 to easily download your games, but going back to PS3, Vita and PSP just for this, I think Sony will simply let the app open...
