You still can crossbuy PS3 (and Vita) games on PS4 and PS5 even to this day. (2022)

Some people probably already know this, but I found it quite interesting, recently I've been thinking about getting a used PS3 as it will be the only Sony console to be left out of the new Playstation Plus on PS4 and PS5 and there are no backwards compatibility plans in a near future. (honestly having only streaming as the only option to play PS3 games is not an option for me)



So I was surprised to see that when I bought Journey on PS4 I got the PS3 version for free and when I bought FEZ on PS3 I also got the PS4/PS5 version absolutely free, now i can get all trophies in both versions of the game and increase my level and my brother can play on ps3 while i would play on ps4 or ps5.



This is amazing, I honestly thought the game crossbuy option was gone with the Playstation Store Web update.



There are some great games that give you this option like 99 Lives, The Bit.Trip (and I think Runner 2 too), FEZ, Helldivers and Shovel Knight that when you buy the PS3 version you get the PS4-PS5 version and vice versa.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
