Yup, they will finally stop being lazy and emulate the Cell.
Good first step.
Now go and
-Get a PS1-PS3 emulator out. Let our disc and digital purchases work. (PS1 discs may not work but oh well)
-Then work on migrating the PS3 Store into the modern PS Store.
-Get more PS2 classics to purchase digitally.
- Let all PS Now games be downloadable.
-Regularly add PS1-PS3 games into PS+
Sony then can literally market the PS5 as the most comprehensive console of all time with the greatest, most historic library ever.

No, the actual store was closed many years ago, I think Jim Ryan was talking about being able to purchase DLC for a few games.
Now, if they want to really step it up - add a "legacy" option to the webstore and let publishers/developers do sales.
Hasn't it been closed for a long time? Haven't you had to buy and transfer games to PSP from a Playstation for years?
This is fantastic news.
However, this is step 1 of a 3-step process.
Step #2: Fix PS2 Classics when they're played on PS5. The games are actually broken. Ape Escape 2 literally flashes constantly.
Step #3: Add backwards compatibility for PS3 games and PS1 Classics on PS5.

WHEN they finally do shut them down there should obviously be at least a 12 month notice about it so no one is just blind sided. Going to happen this decade, you can bet the bank on that.
Will I still be able to buy PSP games thru the PS3 store, and transfer them from PS3 to PSP?
Wow good move. I can see psp still since it's been 17 years. Would that mean psp stuff is still purchased via vita?
Hahaha touche. If the PS3/Vita PS Store had closed down I'd have to change my avatar to this instead:
Easiest avatar quote this week lol, but yup, great news indeed.
So I'm glad it's still up.
And listened to the community and didn't. Just like Sony listened here and didn't close the stores down. Thanks for proving my point.
User Warned: Accusations of Shilling
The astroturfing in this forum is getting extremely annoying...
And this shows this wasn't a bubble problem either or whatever people were talking about.
If they will listen to issues like this they will listen to other issues we collectively address.

THIS!
and I big middle finger to all the people who took our concerns as "whining" and "I only play new games anyway"
Sony ain't out the dog house yet as they still have a viable way of preserving their legacy content.
This is the right call. I hope those smaller developers are actually able to get their games out in their own pace now and not worry about store closures.
Of course there's now the lack of "ability to focus more of our resources on newer devices." The PS5 store sucks. So pros and cons here?
I read this and I hear "the money we are losing keeping it open is less than what we are losing in negative messaging" rather than "for the gamers." Even if "losing" money in the stores running is opportunity cost Vs actual cost.
But end result is that people got what they wanted. So whatever works.

Now if only they would still have sales for the PS3 only titles... But that's not too important, great decision! Glad this whole mess made me check all of my PS3 blu-ray collection and realize that some of them were unreadable, so I contributed by getting digital copies of R&C: Tools of Desctruction and MGS 4.
Wow, that's great news!
This is why it's important to call stuff out. These big companies will listen once and a while lol.
