probably to declutter but they should have just put a default filter to show only games first

If this was a grift by sony to make sure that I bought and downloaded a bunch of ps1 and 2 classics to my vita and ps3, it worked.
That email is really enlightening, considering it implies that you can still buy PSP games from a PSP, when you can't. I just don't know what's up on the PSN side of things between this and the recent party changes...
It's honestly disgraceful of Sony to inform customers of this just days before it goes into effect.
Agreed.
This should have been a months in advance thing for users.
But this is also the company that shuts down the online servers to their own games a year after release thinking that's cool.
Off topic but I just pulled out a PSP and its saying the security settings on my WIFI are not compatible, and I don't see a way to change it. Is the PSP straight up not compatible with modern security features? Is there any way to get it online with my current WIFI?
You might need an older router cause the new ones are not compatible.
Not sure if you can connect both though.
Yup. Looks like six days notice was the final count.
Thanks to this thread, I'm about 90% done backing up my PS3 content, as well as 100% done with my PSP content but I've been working on that for months anyway. Still have to back up Vita but I'm semi-okay doing that via the native store since I'd just be doing Vita titles.
If Wikipedia is accurate, they gave one month's notice before closing the PSP store on the console. Based on that and this announcement, I have little faith that the eventual permanent closure of the PS3/PSP/Vita store will be any better.
It needs to use WEP security which is old, cracked, and very unsafe.
Damn, can you transfer games from PS3 or something like that? I know that was a thing for Vita.
you *kinda* can buy from psp still, but you have to use the search bar and have funds in your account already. At least I was able to find items that way like castlevania chronicles
Thanks! And thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate it.
You can but turn off 2FA before you do so since sony sucks at fixing a years old bug
I would assume the updated store has a wishlist feature as well, just that it's not compatible with the current one. Otherwise, simply removing the option to have one at all is downright stupid.
"The Wishlist feature will be discontinued and any items currently on "Your Wishlist" will be removed."
While the wording is confusing, like of course if it's discontinued your items will be "removed" but saying the feature is discontinued certainly seems like it's being removed. I just don't see any benefit to removing all this stuff from the PSN webstore.
Good thing we're rushing headlong into an all-digital media landscape wherein our ability to continue purchasing older content or enjoying content we paid for rests on the will of distributors to continue allowing us to download it, because there will no longer be a secondary market.
I really think they're starting over with the wishlist, not getting rid of it entirely. Let's be honest, that existing wishlist is rubbish, and while it's frustrating you may have to re-add stuff to it -- well, let's hope they do it properly this time.
Yeah I always found it unusual that the current wishlist doesn't appear when using the store app on the PS4 console. Hopefully if it comes back in some form it's uniform across web, mobile app and consoles.
This is super confusing.
The email says changes go into effect October 21 to 26 on desktop, and October 28 on mobile.
The PlayStation Support website says changes go into effect (all around?) on October 19: https://support.playstation.com/s/a...ion-apps-features-and-services?language=en_US
The email says you can buy PSP content on PSP, but PlayStation Store on PSP doesn't work.
I reached out to SIE PR, but they never answer my emails.

It's possible that the issues with the 8.0 update delayed the Store rollout and they just forgot to update that page, I guess.
I read that article and it's like:
- PS3 is almost dead
- PSP and Vita are dead
- Communities and Events are dead, use a Party instead
Does anyone know how PSDlE queue works? I've got stuff in there but it's not queueing onto my PS3...
Btw the download list in both PS3 store and the accounts management version is unusable for me, there's no way to filter and with over 3000 items it would be impossible to find something easily.

Is your PS3 on?
Add the games to the queue and then turn on the PS3 after 10 minutes or so. This should work.
Yeah I agree, and it probally will work with their store integration and even give you nudges to say hey that game on your list dropped in price you might want to get it, or use it to suggest other games you might like.
Ahh it is on. Thanks I forgot how this worked.
Will try that. I am hoping I can throw everything I want in there and it will pick it all up eventually...

Yeah. The 21st is the more recent communique, and also the only one that was sent to consumers/users in general (since the original 19th announcement was just to devs). I would assume they delayed it a bit for whatever reason.
(That being said, from a personal standpoint if there's anything significant I still want to do with the web store, I'm sure as shit doing it before the 19th)
Thanks for the help earlier - found out the issue was that somehow as I had put a new HDD and restored my PS3 I still had to activate it for game/video. Without that it wasn't talking to the webstore and picking up downloads...
PSDLE has been a godsend especially for delisted stuff.
This experience though has questioned if I should keep giving money to Sony. I don't really care about BC beyond game preservation, but the lack of notice and the massively reduced accessibility of games on their purchased platform really makes me think Sony don't have a clue...

Theory: the new store will be a unified global store rather than the patchwork of regional stores we have currently. This would go some way to explain some of the changes. PS3 and Vita content libraries are too different across the regions to integrate nicely today so they will keep the old stores up for those consoles but not the web versions.
PS4 content has always been more closely aligned between regions, apart from avatars and themes which had different policies in different regions, this is why they're not being carried forward to the new store (because it's not worth the cost of integrating).
There will probably be a new wishlist feature on the new store which also appears on the PS5 as well (not just the web), but they're not transferring old wishlists across from the different regions.
The great thing about a global store is it will enable them to implement features such as gifting, which would have been too messy to do with the old regional system.

I'd rather keep a PS3/Vita section and continue to have sales for 'em, than getting gifting and whatever else. But that's me, and I'm probably alone in that. This has kind of soured me on PlayStation a bit honestly, and I know that's probably kind of silly.
Don't have the storage to backup my Vita/PS3 games right now, but hopefully they give decent amount of time for us to do something about it when the time actually comes. I'll download the hard way if I must. Bought a few PS3/Vita games I should of bought last year for 1/3 of the price... lol

I don't understand their reasoning behind getting rid of the wishlist, at all. It's so handy to keep track of what I want to buy and to scan whenever there's a sale. What's the alternative, Sony?

They're adding a wishlist for the PS5 store, I imagine that'll make its way into the web store once the console releases.
