peffsi Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 If this is true (A BIG IF), I don't really care too much UNLESS they stop you from downloading content you already purchased. That would massively piss off their entire pre-PS4 userbase. I would be stunned if they did that. And if/when they do shut down the store, they should have a massive "clearance" sale. They won't, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been caring about the ps3 store less and less recently though. I think trophy syncing may be safe on account that the ps4 is on the same server. When the ps4 goes then I think we will have issues. Though I'm not a programmer so don't trust my word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get around to getting a large vita memory card and should get around to buying persona 4 golden then. Even if this is false the prices of the physical copies are going to soar. Probably, although for myself, I have been stocking up on vita physical games so I have handheld stuff to play for years to come. If this ends up that they don't work (and in particular, if the trophy syncing goes away), I'm not much interested in having them take up space on a shelf. I figured the Vita had another 3-5 years of functional life in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I feel like this isn’t true at all. I’d rather hear it directly from PlayStation than some sketchy article. Look at what Nintendo’s doing. They’re pulling a number of Mario games from their stores and IGN reported it. So until an official source confirms this to be true, I’m taking this with a few grains of salt.

PS4/5 will be taking a backseat for this. This is what I've been doing since the beginning of this year. I don't a PS5 yet but I knew the writing was on the wall for PS3 and Vita once PS5 came out. I stopped playing my PS4 and decided I was just going to try and focus on finishing PS3 games as a priority and Vita games on the side. I just didn't expect it to come so soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what worries me. I know that's a good chance this rumour could be true. I remember hearing about the webstore one when it was still rumour, it seemed kinda dubious, but turned out to be true. I just simply can't believe Sony would be giving such short notice of a permanent closure of the stores if this is true. I often rag on Nintendo for being kinda anti-consumer, but at least even they gave a very advance notice of the Wii Shop's closure, and I still trust them to do the same when they inevitably close the 3DS and Wii U's store front. I can't trust Sony with anything any more at this point, especially if this rumour is true. 1 hour ago, GUDGER666 said: They still need to get a grip.

Sony doesn't jump onto every single rumor, leak, or clickbait article created. If they are doing something then the reveal for it will come out when they want. If they aren't going something then..nothing happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zircon_Lotus Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I hope this is not true, but it is very likely. First Sony makes the dumb move to end all sales for PS3 and Vita games. And to make things worse, some games are still for full price. Then on the new web store they removed all PS3 and Vita games. Making some sort of legacy area is so hard and expensive? There is also the fact that Sony seems to want to piss off their customers for no reason for some time now. I would not be happy with this decision, but at least let me download what I already bought. The only thing we can do is complain online and wait for a official statement. But I doubt that any amount of complaints will make them revert the decision if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweeping-lamp3 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 If this is true does this preparation plan sound okay if I want to be able to 100% PS3 games in my backlog after a shut down? I don't have any Vita or PSP games. 1. Make a list of all my physical and digital PS3 games that I have not 100% yet. 2. Check which games need DLC for the 100%. Strike out the ones that do not require DLC for the 100%. 3. Check if there is a physical version of the game for my region with the DLC on the disc instead of a code. Cross those games off the list. 4. Buy several used PS3s. 5. Download digital games and DLC I have on the list on each PS3 until the storage is full then move on to the next used PS3. I want to be ready and have a good plan in place in case Sony does confirm the shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkSkelington Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Trophies require a manual sync on PS3 so a network shutdown means more than just "you can't buy any new games/DLC", it would also mean you can't earn/sync any trophies to your PSNprofile. If true better get to work on any procrastinating you've done with PS3 games on your profile stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
