Well it sounds like you still will be able to buy those on the website? And my guess on the PS5 too.
It is just "Themes, Apps and Avatars" you cant buy on the website any longer for PS4.
It doesn't really matter how compatible my pc is if the games I have don't exist on it. I really really hate how Sony doesn't value their legacy content.The stark contrast between how Microsoft and Sony handle their legacy catalog is only getting more apparent.
PC still stands at the top when it comes to compatibility of course, but Microsoft is at least investing legitimate time and money into ensuring an ecosystem with Xbox that the PlayStation team just doesn't seem interested in.
They are removing the wishlist?? It's one of the best parts of their online store. It's very handy to dump a bunch of stuff in there and then just browse during sales to see what's been discounted.
Arrogant Sony 2.0 is not messing around.
Does this mean PS3 games will no longer go on sale? I've been waiting for the House of the Dead games to go on sale before I buy them.
When do you think PSP/PS3 came out?That's 20 years worth of content being removed from the webstore.
Clearly this is because they are going to start whitelisting PS3 games for PS5, and dont want any confusion on the webstore.
Clearly
I SAID CLEARLY
Because PS3 store is so bad it might as well not even exist.Because it's a complete mess having themes for PS3, PS4, and presumably even PS5 all on the same webstore. You have to put disclaimers on everything and people don't bother to read. Makes more sense to have those items available on the storefronts directly for the console they're designed for. They don't need to be on the webstore.
Same with apps. What value is added having multiple versions of a free Netflix app all on the same webstore, when you could just download it directly to your chosen console?
That's absolutely correct.It doesn't really matter how compatible my pc is if the games I have don't exist on it. I really really hate how Sony doesn't value their legacy content.
Are you going to participate in the discussion asking why you believe this is true and what is your source?For the number of people this will realistically affect, I'll take the improvements to user experience.
I'm going to assume everything you've bought you'll be able to redownload or Sony will get dragged over the coals.
Well those people are already using a console that's discontinued, so...So...people would have to buy another console, one that's discontinued, to purchase digital games...for a different console?
Just awful.
PC has a emulator for PS3.
Other than cost buy stuff there hasn't been any PS3 or Vita sale for a long time.
You will still be able to do that through the store? This is for PS3/Vita and for PS4 themes, not games.

I'll never understand this sentiment. There's plenty of shit that I missed out on from as recent as last generation that I'm still picking up today.At this point you'd have bought whatever you're interested in on those old ass systems.

Thats the PS4 version, PS3 version is not on sale.There's PS3 stuff on sale all the time. Tales of Zestiria is on sale right now:
Tales of Zestiria - Digital Standard Edition
As a bonus for purchasing the digital edition of Tales of Zestiria, receive two extra items br- Mystic Artes for Alisha, Mikleo and Lailahbr- Exclusive Tales of Zestiria ThemebrbrIn a world torn by war and political skirmishes, accept the burden of the Shepherd and fight human darkness to...store.playstation.com
They could do both. New store and keep the content listed. I can somewhat understand PS3 and Vita being removed. But PS4 avatars, themes, ... and your wishlist deleted. That's nonsense.Leaving legacy software behind is an awful move, but I welcome a new PS Store. The current one is terrible.
People need to accept that PS3 BC is never happening. The only sliver of hope would have been if it was used through an emulator on PS5. It's not. It's dead, it'll never happen unfortunately.Hopefully this isn't true. That would kill any hope for BC in the future, unless this is just a matter of flipping a switch.
It doesn't seem to be a press release but sent to PlayStation partners? I'm still holding out on a secondary credible source even though this seems very believable regardless.Bruh is that press release real?
If it is Sony needs to improve that, looks amateur af
There a still a few Vita games I want to buy, but after this I don't expect them to go on sale ever again.
To me if you are committing to serving up old game content and making it available to re-download then you have already committed to 80-90% of the effort needed to keep offering those games for sale. So to do the former and take away the later just seems stupid.I'm going to assume everything you've bought you'll be able to redownload or Sony will get dragged over the coals.
And if you can, then this isn't really a big deal at all. At this point you'd have bought whatever you're interested in on those old ass systems.
Exactly how I feel. Hope we're wrong.There a still a few Vita games I want to buy, but after this I don't expect them to go on sale ever again.
"Who cares, i only play new games and everything before 2018 is trash anyway!"Just shut the legacy consoles down and show everyone why "All digital" sucks.
Yeah, on Steam you can still download and play games removed from the store for whatever reason. Games being delisted for licensing reasons (Forza for example) can also be downloaded again as long as you bought them.It's nice to want things. I can't see that happening tbh.
Edit: Unless you mean redownload on your PS3/PSP/Vita.
PS1 & PS2 games will also be included.
Ah, I see what you mean, haha.
I wonder if this will have any impact on the PSDLE Chrome extension.
