The Issue

  • A new report is pointing to Sony actually shutting down the digital stores for the PSP, VITA, and the PS3 this summer which will lead to concerns overall game preservation for these platforms. 

    If the report is true and not an early April Fools Joke, this will mean all Add-On content, Avatars, Themes/Wallpapers, Apps, and Digital retail releases including Psone/PS2 classics, and particularly PS3/PSP/VITA/Minis will no longer be accessible unless Sony announces a new feature to still access them before or after the official announcement as reported. 

    The PS4 and PS5 are not backwards compatible with previous PlayStation Physical/Digital content and users like myself don’t want to purchase re-releases of older titles we already own for the previous system. The PS4 has PS2 classics available to purchase on the store but it’s selection is very limited compared to the PS3 selection which doesn’t support cross-buy if you already owned the game for the PS3. 

Sony has shown quite a lot of support for PlayStation Now, their Netflix style streaming service that let’s you play PS3 & VITA games on your PS4/PS5 or PC but again it’s selection is very limited and requires strong internet speed to use. 

I am calling all PlayStation enthusiasts to come forward and show your support.
