PS3 and PS Vita PlayStation Store is coming to an end

[Greninji88]

Almost 20 years after the PlayStation 3 was released, Sony is now finally closing the PlayStation Store for it and the PS Vita. For most of us, this will be closing in July of 2027.

That's probably best, as I'm pretty sure PKGi downloads from the PS Store servers

You can still download old purchases for the foreseeable future, the servers are still up. You just can't buy anything anymore.

My backlog games of PS Vita and PS3 is annoying to scroll down the purchases list for and download...how lazy can I be? Ha

This is sad that our good old childhood days has become the good old end era. I can't believe 20 years and counting is a end era to alot of things. I am sad. I wish we can go back into time and enjoy it 1 last time.
