JungleCat20 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I didn’t panic buy but I’m glad Sony reversed their decision to close the stores for whatever reason. Good news for gamers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PXNKCAT Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I’m happy for the PS3 & PS Vita game owners. Let’s be honest tho, this (digital store closure) might happen one day. Be ready when that time comes. It’s pretty inevitable. Even for PS4 & PS5 in the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRiAX Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Good news! fortunately I only bought a small amount of missing dlc etc.. it probably would have been a lot more if i could have bought from a browser lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshFromThaDeli Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Long live PS3 and PS Vita. Not going to congratulate Sony as they made an anti consumer decision in the first place and only reversed it because of the backlash. Hopefully they treat their legacy hardware with a bit more respect going forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Sony probably reversed their decision days ago after making it, but then saw all the full price sales coming in and thought nah, we'll sit on this for a loooong while. Interestingly I was going to start my panic buying from tomorrow. I am glad I waited. Great news though... FINALLY! Let's not forget though, the PSP store is STILL closing. So this is a small win for now, but one day maybe 2-10 years in the future the PS3 and or Vita store will close. So let's not stop here, we need to carry on playing our old systems, we get a nice kick up the back side warning from Sony that nothing lasts forever. I didn't panic buy anything but it did give me the wake up call to not neglect my backlog of games. Edited April 20, 2021 by enaysoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlindMango Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 Such a beautiful thing to see, hopefully this opened Sony's eyes on backwards compatibility and they'll look into supporting these consoles or games more in their app and perhaps next gen consoles 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OmegaRejectz Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 I really hope that they’ll start doing sales for PS3 & Vita again, though I’m pretty confident it won’t occur. The prices for these old titles literally are priced higher than the newest versions of their respective series and some DLC is priced higher than full fledged AAA games that include all post launch content. Once again, I don’t see it happening because I feel they’re going to ditch PS3 as soon as they’re able to without getting tons of backlash. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonerLukeThe Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 they probably was going to re open it anyway, just wanted everyone to panic buy on the store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwieming72 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Panic buying make Sony realize that they can still make money from their old store, why should they close it ? Anyway this is good news for us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post A_Tennis_Giraffe Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 This is absolutely fantastic news!! The only thing that could make it any better would be if we could now start seeing sales again on these platforms. I doubt it, but that'd really be the cherry on the top if that happened! ? Like others have said though, this has given me the push I need I think to really start prioritising my PS3 and Vita backlog over my offline/single player PS4 library. I'm currently working on some PS+ games we got for Vita, but I really need to get back to my PS3 ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgz93 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks GOD! I'd planned to buy a PS3 like the week before the rumours came out ?✌️ and I was rushing everything up to buy any PS3 and see what games needed to be purchased first jeje Just as well I have some more time and my wallet will surely thank not to do a huge purchase. That's a great great news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Jinro Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) If they don't bring back the old PSN-Store-Website it is just ridiculous, because they don't fix the PSN Store on PS3, too. Without the Store-Website it is not much difference. Don't know how the store is working on your PS3, but on mine it is super slow, doesn't load the content correctly, doesn't show buttons for buying, doesn't show what already is bought, shows every time error messages when I want to download something direct from the content page, freezes, crashes including my PS3 itself. So they should return the PSN-Store-Website (or did they already deleted it without any way to bring it back? LOL) And on the other hand I don't think there will be new sales for the PS3/PSV so what's the difference? Only getting time to think longer about "should I buy it full price or not?" And the next thing is, they just give the store temporary back. Just wait a bit of time, when the PS5 has enough games and enough people got the chance to get a PS5, and the PS4 will be ultra cheap so many people who don't have one till now just buy it, and many of the old PS3 will be broken... Than they will try it again without so many pushback. Edited April 20, 2021 by Alpha-Jinro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be the reason the stores are saved, as they showed that there are still people out there willing to buy "old" games and add-ons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInHell Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 After I’m done with Sparklite, I might as well start playing PS3 games again. I only buy digital Vita games cause the ones I want are too much hassle to find physical and too often too expensive. I’m going to continue buying secondhand PS3 games. I’m very happy they wont close the stores yet, there was no way in hell I was going buy things in panic. To me it was kind of a wakeup call how absurd my spending has been since 2019 and it only got worse. I’ve got games I bought years ago and never touched. Damn, I wont even be able to finish all these amazing games by the time it’s 2050. ? Anyways, I’m very happy with this decision for everyone of us. ?

I haven't had any problems with it for the past year I have owned it. It is supposed to work for other devices as well like using a PS4 controller on a Nintendo Switch although I haven't tried that yet, because I don't own a Switch lol... Can you send me the link too?

DrBloodmoney Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 14 hours ago, x7251 said: Actually you can use a PS4 controller for those games on PS3 using a device called Mayflash Magic-NS Wireless Adapter. I have been using the device for PS3 games that don't support a PS4 controller. I have played Max Payne 3, Gran Turismo 5, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 1 & 2 and Sonic Unleashed all this past year with a PS4 controller. What a difference it makes, and it works very well. 2 minutes ago, xh117 said: Can you send me the link too? Not sure how long my six axis has left lol plus ps4 controllers feel better anyway I've been using PS4 controllers for all PS3 gaming for a while now - just need a long USB cable. Downside of that is the 'home' button doesn't work, so you can't get to the XMB from in-game, but on the plus side it has the added benefit of charging your controller for the next time you are on PS4 again ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same. I use PS4 controller with a long USB cable and have my PS3 controller plugged in as well for when I need to access XMB. Love the affect it has on giving me a fully charged controller for when I switch to PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikotei-kun Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Well that was certainly unexpected.. Not that it changes anything in the long run. The store will go down someday, just not yet. Panic buyers may have helped in overturning Sony's decision, as will the duped developers. The latter probably had more effect though. As for me, I did some purchases for the PS3 and will continue to do so when they're up next. I don't indent to buy everything at once (even if my wallet would support this) simply because I want to take my time and weigh each game/DLC for bang-for-your-buck. Biggest undecided DLC is the Tyranny of King Washington for Assassin's Creed III... So pricey >_< 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gameoncomrade Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 I don't know. This all looks like a big publicity stunt and baiting to me. SONY: LET'S CLOSE THE ONLINE STORES END-USERS: OH NO, WE BETTER BUY THE ITEMS WHILE WE STILL CAN SONY: JUST KIDDING, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA REVENUE ($$$$$$$) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
