TimeBreaker45 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I saw this image today, it's in spanish but I couldn't find anything about the legitimacy of it, can you tell me if this is true since I still use my PS3 to play some titles online?

Property_Damage Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 When its true, Sony will personally email you a shutdown notification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Looks like it's just certain games shutting down in May. At least I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestroWOD Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Really hoping this is fake. I got too many games to play on my PS3. I I will never be able to do them all before May 2019 I am obviously aware eventually this will happen, but would hope they would announce it way in advance (like a year or so, so we can buy/download all that we need to) and secondly not before the PS5... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If it's real, looks like certain games. None of the game sites have picked it up, so hopefully it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Might be individual games but there is absolutely 0% chance of the PS3 servers as a whole being shut down anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope you are right In any case i will double down on doing PS3 games until May just in case. Just finished Killzone HD, will chain to Killzone 2. I am not worrying too much about trophies on this game as servers are shut down and even if they where not, the trophies where ridiculous anyway, was not gonna do them. I will just play the game regulary and enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I don't know, maybe stuff is different in [insert region here], but if I saw ANYTHING from ANY company that starts with <ATTENTION> I would already know it's fake. Typical fake Apple or PayPal email bullshit that only the most amateur of conjobs use.

pinkrobot_pb Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You probably did not find this stapled to your door this morning, so what is the source of the image? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Katt Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Nah, fake as hell. That "Atencion" is missing an accent mark. "Atención" is the correct word. An announcement like that wouldn't have such stupid spelling mistakes. Probably someone bored modified the source code, added that line and took the photo. A really bad photo by the way. Also, these announcements are done with much anticipation. Edit: here, this is the original web page: Spoiler https://www.playstation.com/es-cl/explore/ps3/ Edited March 1, 2019 by Katt 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLilSheWolfx Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I imagine this is fake as I'm sure it would affect the streaming of PS3 games via PS Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: here, this is the original web page: Hide contents https://www.playstation.com/es-cl/explore/ps3/ Let me guess, someone temporarily rewrote this webpage for themselves through the use of the “Inspect Element” browser feature? How did I not see this coming... MY ORIGINAL POST (LEFT TOO LATE): I’ve got a fistful of games on my lengthy “must play” list, most of which are PS3 titles. Crossing my fingers that this is just a troll stirring the pot, though I cannot confirm if it’s fake or not due to the image itself (very likely taken poorly on camera and from a Spanish webpage on purpose). Yet to find out the legitimacy, but if true, that’s a pretty disgusting move on Sony’s behalf for an early April Fools joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoleride Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It’s unlikely PS3 servers would shut down anytime soon because PS Now is also keeping it alive with allowing you to access PS3 games to play including the multiplayer portion if the servers are still active. So I don’t see PS3 going down for a few more years or at least until PS Now becomes like Xbox Games Pass where you can play certain new releases too. So yeah I am sure it will be fine.
