So a rumour the stores are closing.. everyone on here and Reddit is like I'm losing all my DLC and Games. I'm losing all my Avatars and Themes. FU Sony, Sony are Scum! If they stop trophy syncing ima be pissed! They better have a huge sale! They better be giving away free Games.. Does that mean PS3 Games will leave PS Now.. All those Games that we can't update anymore. I need to buy a big hard drive and download everything!! Get a grip people! I mean, I can't blame people for being worried. First the webstore change on less than 2 weeks notice, now (potentially) this. I agree that some people are "over reacting", Sony doesn't need to give us a huge sale or free games just because they (may) be shutting down their storefronts. But if true, this does set a very concerning precedent for the future of the PS3 and Vita's online capabilities, and digital gaming in general. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after maybe 8 years playing, I've got like 3 games that have missing dlc that can still be obtained (Littlebigplanet, Borderlands 1 and 2). Out of all of the possible digital games I'm going to miss the most is probably Tokyo Jungle. I've 100% that, but the idea of losing that makes me depress. Tokyo Jungle Japanese version is a physical release. Also a fair amount of Little Big Planet DLC, like the Pirate of the Caribbean in LBP1 and Muppets in LBP2, already got delisted.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the rumor was true though, the web store change was already a sign that they want to cut off the last gen stores as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weskerfan75 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Assuming this is true in any capacity, I'm guessing you'll still be able to download the content you've purchased already since those are linked to your account. I know the PS3 is old and discontinued but taking away the users abilty to even download the hundreds if not thousands of items they've bought is shitty no matter how you look at it. I could understand if they were shutting down the PSN network for PS3 too, but this is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenaxPure Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Story seems kinda fishy to me as well so I am not gonna freak out or anything until there is official word. While the store closing down would really suck I think the worst part would be losing all the PS1 and PS2 classics. The PS3 is only place to legally buy a lot of those games for reasonable prices. I mean you have your extreme examples like Suikoden II costing hundreds of dollars for a copy but there are lots of games that are like $50-$100 for an original copy but only $5-$10 on the PS3 store. I've bought a lot of the ones I want but not all of them yet. Need to take a night just looking at all the games available and picking up the ones I still want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be affecting all regions intermittently, best thing to do would be to use a PSN pre-paid card, instead of trying to use CC/Paypal.

You can find everything you've bought and you can download them from there I remember, that this didn't worked, when the Store was down. So if this is true, there need to be at least a patch to make this available I guess :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I genuinely love the backlash that has been generated.

Yea give it a few more years and the effects will start to show. I believe there recent purchases of a streaming service and EVO shows that there preparing for other options to make money in the future. Id say about 4 to 5 years when MS's purchases start to produce games and with Nintendo nipping at there heels, on top of the relationship MS\Nintendo have Sonys in trouble in the future.

FreshFromThaDeli Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is just awful news. I am being forced to pay full price for games and dlc's before July and August. The least they could do is discount every game but I know they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much anti-consumer shit Sony can get away with while Microsoft both focuses on backwards compatibility, and purchasing studios meaning future games won't be on Sony platforms. Aside from the PS5 selling more, Sony isn't doing anything better than Microsoft right now and are resting on their laurels. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StressEater Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is sad. I just started getting into my Vita. I know that I shouldnt be surprised because this sort of thing was bound to happen. But, I hate to see it. I figured as much for the PS3 since they are pushing their PlayStation Now. Which is a pretty good deal for the amount of games you get access to. It always reminds me of Sega Channel. A great idea but way before its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinthoras_96 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It would suck, sure. But I have everything I want digital or know people who have delisted stuff to share from. So as long as you can still download everything that is already bought on that account, I'm fine with this. The big question would be the PS Vita. The PS3 has the download list feature that works without the ps store app I guess. But on the vita you need to actually enter the ps store to see your download list ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_snake_24 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 If this turns out to be true, ps4 will be my last Playstation console. I will only accept the ps3 and vita stores shutting down if the entire ps3 library is accesible in like, PS6 or something. And that would be accepting it, not being happy about it. (And this would only cover ps3 games, what about the vita?) RPCS3 is making progress on ps3 emulation, and that's some guys doing it, you'd think a company as big as Sony would have the funds for that. And by the time ps6 is a thing, the way technology advances, it should be possible. Imagine the marketing potential, a console capable of playing ps3, ps4, ps5 and ps6 games + the few ps1 and ps2 classics. Take this news, hopefully fake news, with a grain of salt until an official announcement. I'm happy to see huge backlash. I'm worried that this could be true sooner than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerber108 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Well, I wanted to buy some series like Ratchet, but I won't spend sth like $300 for such old titles. Furthermore, if they think that such move will encourage me to give them that amount of cash in an act of desperation, well, they are very wrong. I would happily buy all those games on discount, but definitely not for full price. I only bought Life is Strange for full Price (hehe) back when they announced removing PS3 and Vita content from the web browser, but firstly: this is just one title, not dozens, and secondly: I could pay any price for this masterpiece.
