Xbox in my country (Argentina) is much cheaper. The only reason I continue with this brand is for the leisure of collecting trophies. Same here. Steam on the PC is cheaper for me, but their achievement system is a joke. Absolutely no moderation whatsoever, there is a program you can get which automatically gets Steam achievements for you which completely destroys the purpose of achievement hunting. Games are horribly imbalanced, some of them have thousands of achievements. For as much as I’ve criticized Ratalalika Games, there is still a standard in trophy hunting. Steam? No dice. Nobody cares about Steam achievements. If Jim Ryan and his windbags do what you pointed out then I will quit Sony as well.

Eraezr Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 An under-discussed topicality I find to this discussion of platform store shutdowns is how not enough people support physical sales. This is why digital will always be inferior. Even if the digital sale has a game I want for $5-10 cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even talking about patches or updates, just not even the full games! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It refers to how the following twitter account (Delisted Games) has brought attention to these petitions to save the PS3 and Vita stores. https://twitter.com/DelistedGames/status/1379530770696507397 The first petition which has been posted before now currently has at least 1500 signatures as of this time was part of the article from Playstation Universe and the Delisted Games twitter account. http://chng.it/nxcPxyHGHW The second petition which I found out about (and can also use support) which is nearing 400 signatures as of this time, regarding all of this. http://chng.it/knNv6RS5wd Edited April 11, 2021 by Lem-77 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pissed off. Bad news after bad news with Sony in the recent years. Exactly, even 6 months would be better, but 3 months????!!!!!!!

YaManSmevz Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I braved the local shops and basically traded in all my 360 stuff for ps3 stuff. Got extremely lucky with a few games that are selling on amazon for like sixty bucks. Was glad to give my money to them and not spend it in the ps3 store (take THAT, Sony!) until I realized I need to buy a dlc or two? I am not looking forward to it, doesn't seem like anybody is having a good time in the ps3 store. Kinda shitty we have to take these measures just to be able to play certain games, but oh well. Sony gonna Sony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speling_Expirt Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Does anybody know if I can still download a game from a game code (specifically Sly 3 for Vita from the Sly Cooper Collection) after the store is closed? I may be able to buy a physical copy at a decent price in the coming weeks but don't want to have to rush just yet. I know already purchased games aren't affected and are able to be downloaded but not sure about game codes in purchased physical copies. Apologies if this has been answered before in this thread, I am trying to keep up a couple of times a day but it's insanely long at this point. EDIT: Just read that the codes for that game have all expired now so I guess that answers my question anyways Edited April 12, 2021 by s_cubasteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER you seem to need to have downloaded the game at least once. Otherwise it won't be in your downloads list (for some reason, maybe a bug) Presumably when the store is closed you will only be able to download games using that painfully my downloads long list, no search feature in that... As if you're trying to find a game you downloaded 6 years via twitter or something, scroll and scroll and scroll down until you find it, or skip past it by mistake (which is what happens to me anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually leave my games sealed until I get around to playing them but I opened and redeemed the code from my Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection yesterday because I'm not counting on being able to get the PS1 games from it after store closure. Also for what it's worth, others and myself have been able to redeem expired codes from various games over the years, so it's still possible you get your digital content (no guarantees, of course). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, shutting down the store is one thing (a really dumb thing), but getting rid of game patches is ridiculous. I now wouldn't be surprised if PSN functionality was removed from PS3 in a year or two. There clearly gutting it piece by piece by this point. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now wouldn't be surprised if PSN functionality was removed from PS3 in a year or two. There clearly gutting it piece by piece by this point. The issues with some games having patches not download has actually been going on for a while (since at least mid February or so), it's just more talked about and noticed now that people are mass downloading patches, and it's becoming clear that more and more games are having issues, not just a few. I believe there's even a few PS4 games having issues downloading patches at the moment. PSN in general has been having some weird issues since the start of this year (and had a few odd issues on and off last year), and Sony just seems insanely incompetent about it all. I wouldn't worry that these patches are getting removed intentionally, it seems more like their servers are kinda just being left to rot. At least "The Gamer" is reporting on this now, as the more attention it gets, the more likely that Sony will have to get off their lazy ass and actually do something. I still remember it took them like a week to fix all the weird connection issues PSN was having back in February (constantly getting booted off PSN, trophy syncing and cloud saves not working, etc.), mostly affecting PS3 and Vita, they just didn't care because it wasn't affecting enough people, at least as far as they were concerned, but it was resolved eventually.

For example, I bought a couple of years back a physical version of South Park: Fractured But Whole. The game came with a code for The Stick of Truth, but when I opened the package, I saw that this code had expired. The problem? There was (and is) nothing on the box itself to tell you that the code was (or even could) expire. You have to open the product to see this, but once you've opened the product, it is not returnable. I've said it before, but I really feel like companies don't think this crap through enough. 52 minutes ago, diskdocx said: I'm reasonably certain this is only an issue for PS3 games.

Generally for me, if I go to the Vita and that little...shopping...bag...icon...thing is next to the game, then it's in my download list without having to download it again. But when it's not there, I generally have to download it myself again. I can't say that this is true with 100% certainly, but the vast majority of my Vita play is stacking cross-play titles, and that's been my general observation.

Very true. I wish publishers would have taken these physical compilation games more seriously before this became a problem. Bundling codes for what should have been on disc/cartridge was always a dumb idea and it's a shame nothing really changed despite the practice having been called out multiple times over the years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POEman553 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I called this morning to PlayStation support about this issue with the patches and the store closure. Whether or not Sony does anything about it, I don't know. I don't have any faith in them doing the right thing for their customers at this point.
