Popular Post Lance_87 Posted October 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) This is absolutely ONE OF THE MOST IDIOTIC AND RETARDED DECISIONS EVER TAKEN BY SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT. The web/mobile Store was one of the best things they've ever made. Full of problems, sure (i.e. the download queue) but it's possible to purchase content across all platforms. And most importantly, it is not as sluggish as the respective console Store apps. Now i'm totally scared for the Download List and the PSDLE script. Do the people at SIE know how long it takes to manually redownload a whole collection of PS3/Vita games? And what's the friggin' point of removing PS4 apps, themes and avatars from the web/mobile Store if the console is still fully supported and it will still support everything else? Idiots.

RedSkyKing Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Wait, it doesn’t sound like downloadable content from PS4 (Themes, Avatars, DLC) will carry over to PS5. If that’s the case I swear to God Sony.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case I swear to God Sony.... Themes not carrying over makes sense, but avatars...? Even the PS3 can see PS4 avatars. Hell, you can even change PS3 avatars from a PS4 without having them installed on the PS3. Edited October 8, 2020 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryogenicide_X Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I really hope that this doesn't mean that since the PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 games that we can't download and have access to PS4 game DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityOnH1gh Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 This sucks. I'm worried they shut down the vita store before I finish purchasing the games I want. I don't feel like dropping a load of cash at once... I want to pick them up as I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 PS4 store was worlds better than the PS3 store and I imagine the PS5 store will be much improved as well. But removing the wishlist feature? Why? That was quite handy for a quick scan if anything you have been wanting is on sale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I go to buy digital PS3 and Vita games, I always do that through the browser because the store on the systems themselves are an absolute nightmare to navigate. Also, doesn't this mean that it'll now be impossible to buy PSP games and download them on that system? I recall they removed the ability to buy games on the PSP itself a few years back and you had to do it on the browser. You can still buy psp games through the vita store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdizzle0420 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I basically only use the web store to buy games/DLC etc. I went and typed up the games in my wish list just in case this is true. I don't bother looking through their sales, I just go look at my wish list and if nothing is on sale, I hit the x and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just now, SnowxSakura said: You can still buy psp games through the vita store I know you can still buy and play PSP games on the Vita, but I was wondering how it would work if you just owned a PSP since they shut down the native store a while ago. I guess it's still possible to buy PSP games via the PS3's store and transfer them over, but that's far from ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekir Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 What's next, are they going to put the old store in the same server where we choose the trophies we want to hide, or the one rarely used for crossplay saves? Because they fail tons lol Besides, the ps3 and vita store apps are slow and just suck Terrible news indeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Why would Sony do something like that? Instead of not destroying the PS Via store unfairly. They should of kept the ps store the way it is now and not having axing out the good stuff and making a new store. Keeping it traditional.

DaivRules Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Potentially, if they offload the PC/mobile, PS4, and PS5 traffic from the same server that serves the PS3 and Vita, the PS3 and Vita store would get better performance... Ah, who am I kidding? We don't think optimistically after all this time about Sony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still access your download history on the ps store on the psp Note its not recommended though as the psp doesn't support modern encryption, so you'll have to turn off the encryption on your router so its not a good idea Edited October 8, 2020 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnizelPS Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Having to deal with both PS4 and PS3 storefronts through the console UI is a serious pain in the ass... (especially when the PS3 store is randomly freezing my entire console because... reasons). Great idea, Sony!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverHypedG Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I believe this could be true seeing this tweet. Sometimes You makes amazing Vita games. I guess they already know something about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Honor_Hand Posted October 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2020 I really hope this is not true, but if it is, damn, it's going to be one of those epic Sony-shooting-themselves-in-the-foot moments that we will be remembering for years from now. xP I guess this means they'll be slowly phasing out the PS3 and Vita storefronts at some point soon, right? Why prevent themselves from earning extra business from the people out there that still buy these old titles (yeah, we exist) is beyond me, but hey... I really don't think they can be spending this much on maintaining these features around, so why get rid of them? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
