Why can't they have like a bare bones site for legacy products? PS vita store is at least usable but PS3 system store app has been so sluggish for like 10 years now lol.

Buying Xbox 360 games on the current Microsoft Store still involves some legacy weirdness and sometimes things don't work right. I wonder if Sony faced a similar issue, but decided it was better to just cut off legacy support moving forward.
Glorious digital future.
Oh well, as long as they don't take away my ability to earn PS3 trophies until I've finished my PS3 backlog I can deal with that.

Seems kind of odd (if someone who knows more about this stuff has perspective I'm missing, please share) to remove them from the web completely but as long as the stores remain functional on the systems themselves, it's not a huge deal.
The store and apps need overhauls and I'm glad next gen is making them do it.

Even though you can still buy the game from their native console stores, this is a horrible move.
You have 3rd party cookies disabled.
And after Cerny and team put in all that work to make the PS5's audio processor act like a Cell.
I really hope whatever they're doing with the store allows for better store updates.
Their current system of seemingly uploading new games one at a time in the morning or updating sales prices by manually going down a list just seem so weird and outdated. They really need a system that will allow them to upload new games or set sale prices in advance and then just enable them with a flick of a switch.

Hilarious that the company that is now trying to sell an all digital console is showing just how volatile that really is by prepping to shut down the digital stores on their old consoles. If you have a PSP Go, it will become essentially useless without the store, just like the PS5 Digital will be when its store goes down. Just another reason why all-digital is not a good future.
Nope. I don't, they're enabled. And I get a standard error message:
Dumb. PS3 and Vita still exist and people might even want to still play them and even buy games for them. Why make that harder?
So they shut down the PSP store on the device itself, meaning I have to buy games via a web browser and then download them to my PSP via the activation list.
Now if they're shutting down the browser store I'm just completely SOL on digital PSP games?
Well fuck.

PlayStation Store : un changement important impactera les jeux PS Vita et PS3 - Planète Vita
Article mis à jour le 26 octobre 2020.Nous venons d’apprendre de source sûre qu’une réorganisation prochaine du PlayStation Store, sans doute pour préparer l’arrivée
planetevita.fr
I think they've improved this with the new store though (iirc)
IIRC the PS3 could download PSP games to transfer them but that would be the worst solution
What? Why should we be happy that they're removing PS3 and Vita games from the web store?
On the Xbox it works ok, but on their webstore/mobile it still looks like this: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/
I buy older stuff on PSN all the time. This sucks
No
Having to go out and track down a $200+ piece of legacy hardware to get games onto my other legacy hardware would be some real creamy bullshit.
This basically kills the option to buy PS3 games digitally since the store app on the console is a unusable mess.
Sony shut down the PSP Store.
Oof! Need to get MGS4 digital before it gets shutdown.
Pretty seen we'll be doing the same for WiiU. So I need to get that in order too. All DD future sucks.

They have, but some games can still only be bought through the older Xbox marketplace or through an Xbox 360 like Daytona 2.
PSP store stopped working years ago, it can only be used to download previous purchases afaik
Nope, for some reason the playstation web doesn't allow me to do so (my credit card doesn't work there but it works just fine on the store), probably a region thing.

removing 2 gen old content for visibility, ok. but removing the wishlist, themes, avatars, etc? why?
I think move away the old generations from the store front means new backend too. Perhaps some modifications for a new PSN architecture on PS5 with no worries about the old code implementation for older console.
It will never stop blowing my mind how hostile Sony is toward their legacy software. The PS3/PSP/Vita libraries are way too good to be swept under a rug. They should be celebrating them!
It can but even that is a rough solution. You either have to use the PS3 Store to queue downloads (bad idea since it crashes usually within 5 minutes), use your account's purchase list to do it (viable but slow, especially if you have hundreds of owned items), or use the web store to push downloads to your PS3 (fastest method, but still unsortable and might be getting disabled with this update).
Even then it's a pain. For instance, you have to disable 2FA if you want to move stuff from the PS3 to your PSP because they never bothered to get it working with the new authentication.
