Hayame Zero 04/19/21 1:02:15 PM #1:	https://blog.playstation.com/2021/04/19/playstation-store-on-ps3-and-ps-vita-will-continue-operations/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Recently, we notified players that PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita devices was planned to end this summer. Upon further reflection, however, its clear that we made the wrong decision here. So today Im happy to say that we will be keeping the PlayStation Store operational for PS3 and PS Vita devices. PSP commerce functionality will retire on July 2, 2021 as planned. When we initially came to the decision to end purchasing support for PS3 and PS Vita, it was born out of a number of factors, including commerce support challenges for older devices and the ability for us to focus more of our resources on newer devices where a majority of our gamers are playing on. We see now that many of you are incredibly passionate about being able to continue purchasing classic games on PS3 and PS Vita for the foreseeable future, so Im glad we were able to find a solution to continue operations. Im glad that we can keep this piece of our history alive for gamers to enjoy, while we continue to create cutting-edge new game worlds for PS4, PS5, and the next generation of VR. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us were always listening and appreciate the support from our PlayStation community. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:953000501] in PS3 and Vi...

Alucard188 04/19/21 1:46:35 PM #27:	Jabodie posted... That's nice. But I'm pretty sure they didn't want eroded trust from consumers/developers when it comes to buying digital ps4 and ps5 games more than anything else. Trust is already pretty eroded. It's just a matter of weighing accessibility and convenience over legitimate autonomy over your purchases. Sony really needs to update its Network infrastructure to support its legacy systems, because all it is is ones and zeros on their end. There's no reason why they can't keep that operational. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:953002134] in PS3 and Vi...
