Quink666 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 This was all a ploy by Sony to force people to spend all their money on PS3 games :> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I suggest buying all the stuff you need. I am sure this is temporaly and in 2-3 years the stores will be shut down for good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Again, very weird issue because it can be used to buy game directly, just not for refilling the wallet) Anyway, guess i still need to. Kudos to SONY for making a good decision, once in a while.. Had that problem. I just stopped trying to buy in the vita store for a week and when I came back to buy, the problem disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or more of the devs they were screwing over by not saying a thing while still handing out dev kits for Vita actually threatened with legal action and they are making it look like they are appeasing the fans.

I'm super stingy when buying digital games, & even I started to panic & got a few things... thankfully I don't think I spent more than $20-25, but my condolences to those of you out there that spent hundreds of dollars.

Popular Post Elvick_ Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 Means nothing at all to me short of an actual consistent message change that they care about their legacy. Performative b/s like Astro's Playroom that they clearly don't mean as shown by being willing to just eradicate all PSP, PS Minis, PSone Classics, PS2 Classics and PS3 games available digitally is evidence of that lack of interest. And Jim Ryan's own foolishness at steering the ship. Show me you actually care by doing something. Bring back sales for these games. Bring back the games on the webstore, even with that terrible fucking awful UI it has it would at least be something. Hell, go out of your way to finally fucking patch the PS3 fucking store to not be a crashing piece of shit. Revert it back to the old design that actually worked. Fix the PS Vita's store and constant errors and fix the games not appearing on it. Fix the PS TV's store too. Fix it all. Then I'll think you give a shit and aren't just doing a temporary save face that you'll go back on as soon as you think it's safe to do so. My patience for PlayStation evaporated. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called sony just 2 week ago cuz of this. They told me it was a bank issue. Called my bank. Sony gets auto booted due to online returns many of there customers had. They 'fixed' it. Worked for the next use. Then sayed error happened again following week? So do too returns. Banks AI think sony is shady & auto rejects. At least that the story i was told?

Popular Post cris3f Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 You can insert more variations, remember Google takes sometime to index and consider more searches, so 1 month is little. Nah, some bigger fish ordered him to, and he's just trying to save his ass. Never, ever anyone would have to put his name in a "I fucked up" announcement like this without it. Remember that it was him that sweetly announced the free games in March? He only shows his face for the good things, now he had to swallow it. I still hate the moron, and he's still a moron, and will never change. And Sony face isn't washed by this, quite the contrary. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Oglop Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I love this so much - all the vitriol and bizarrely, genuine hate, for shutting the stores down and now they are actually back, the vitriol & hate is still there it's just moving in a slightly different direction. Take the win. Have a rest. Enjoy the fact that the stores are back for more than 5 minutes, the hate train will still be there for you to jump your ass back onto soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonemankane Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Glad it is being kept up but I will have to say you all need to keep your eyes open and be warned as sony are being led by a man who does not care for past consoles other than now time consoles and so on. Be happy for now but keep alert, am not trying to be a always looking on the bad side just I feel both sides of the coin should be seen. As our dosh is what keeps them in power we have that power. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they need every game to include all the DLC. Unless they actually develop BC for PS3, then streaming will always be the way to play PS3 games which means tons and tons of people will have absolutely no chance to play PS NOW games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccase137 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) What a completely unexpected twist! I don't want to be negative but I'd hope that once Sony sees the inevitable drop in sales (as there will be no more panic buying), they don't pull this stunt again. I would rather prefer they be upfront and say right now that there will be two years support before it closes, rather than this indefinite crap and then six months later, say it will close in six months (same result, but at least we get more notice with the former rather than the latter).

SaAlLoAg Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) The communique is 'bittersweeted' at most. "Oh yeah, people kept paying for old content, we can't complain and we cannot close the store as we would be losing some money, so keep buying as we'll no longer support the store if we don't become richer. Btw buy PS4 & PS5, those consoles are new, and fancy, and with 'cutting-edge' tech; not trying to convince anybody in moving of platform, but we are secretly doing it.

Godo Fwar Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Wasn't expecting this at all. Would be nice to see some PS3/Vita games discounted (excluding cross-buy), albeit improbable 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I said everything I want to say at this point, but I just want to mention that this has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. My cash and wallet can take it easy, because I already spent well over $100 since that announcement was made a few weeks ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
