If so there will be no way to purchase it to 100% these games. Not sure it’s across the board, but a lot of them don’t, yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoHenni Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 So I'm assuming installing DLC from GOTY physical discs will still work, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well shit, and the store prices are just ridiculously high for being 2 Gens behind. But at the same time they are throwing ps4 games at us for free... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_Wizi_X Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ok then. Have to buy those ps3 games I'd wanted to buy in years and download the all old purchased ones to my 4 ps3s plus backup in some external HD, just to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point, I just bought the DLC for LEGO Star Wars Force Awakens on PS3. Season pass activates only a character pack in your download list. All level packs must be downloaded directly from the store. You own them, but they aren't going to show up in the download list. I'm sure there's innumerable other examples, that we just don't know about. And won't ever until it's too late. So come June, is Sony going to refund that content that you own, but now can't download because they fucked up and the content isn't in a download list? And, no one has yet answered - where is the download list on a Vita? Oh, right - in the fucking store. Damn, that does sound like a pickle. It seems like, no matter what, some people are going to get screwed by this. Sony claimed that they considered this carefully but it kind of seems like they haven't thought it through in a lot of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have expected this for at least another number of years. The thing that surprises me the most is the fact they're taking down the stores so soon after announcing their closure. I thought when they removed PS3/PSP/Vita games from their new webstore, they were just content to let the stores on the consoles remain as they were for another few years. Nope, less than a year after the new webstore, they're getting rid of those stores completely. I thought they would give at least a year notice for the stores closing, it's kind of a big deal after all. Does make me genuinely concerned how quickly other online functionality might be taken away after a rumour that "X will be shut down in 2-3 weeks/months" floats around for a week then ends up being true. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim_Rez Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 When the old web store was first announced to be closing, I went on a huge shopping spree of any DLC related to trophies plus anything major I wanted. I went over budget doing so, but looks like that was the right thing to do. I had some stuff in my cart on the old store the day before that finally died for good. Nothing important, just "nice to have" stuff. Going to try and see if the PS3 store will function long enough to maybe get a game I was on the fence about. This shouldn't be a surprise though. Sony was not going to keep this up forever. 15 years is still a good run. Would I have preferred that they shut down the store on consoles and keep the old web store up instead? Of course, but sadly this is the end of the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImMagnetz Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I recently bought a new PS3 because the disc reader in my old one was fucked. I wasn't able to backup games themselves. I could only backup most of my saves because I'm a Plus member, but even then some games have their saves locked to a specific console so I wasn't able to bring those saves over to my new PS3. Only a few games were like that so it wasn't too bad but it was a bit of a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't give me a legal way to purchase your games? Well I'll be playing them for free them. At the end, specially in an all-digital future, the only way to truly own and preserve games will be emulation and freaking piracy?!? Well apparently buying on GOG too for the owning your games part. Delisted games would only be available through emulation, I assume. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AihaLoveleaf Posted March 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2021 Someone else said it earlier I believe, but now is the time to start looking seriously at your PS3/Vita trophies if you haven't already. The stores going down may remove motivation from publishers to maintain online servers for a lot of games that are still up, making a lot of trophies unobtainable. I was already working on my PS3/Vita trophies but will be getting more serious now about taking care of those multiplayer trophies on my account sooner rather than later. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregHouse007 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) lol everyone gave this site so much shit in the firsts posts. Shady website. Copypaste of IGN in all their posts. It's fake. No source. Who even know thegamer? Blablabla. Sony has no mercy. If they are killing PS3 as soon as PS5 launched, then they will kill PS4 as soon as PS6 launches. Maybe it's time to jump ship...
