Had to do it, sorry.

 

[assurdum]

This makes me happy. Good guy PlayStation returns. Good form.

Now make PS1, PS2 & PS3 physical games backwards compatible on PS5.

 

[Bridges]

Fantastic news!

 

[Wizz-Art]

Gamers VS. Corporation 1-0!

 

[Lionel Richie]

Good stuff! Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo need to be better about this shit, hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

 

[rapid32.5]

Thanks to PS conCernyd.

 

[Onironauta]

PSP is still closing though. Why?

PSP store has been closed for a while!

 

[LRKD]

Good, a pleaser surprised to see Sony reverse the decision. Rip psp store, but the prices are stupid high, and downloading ISOs and playing them on psp/vita/pc is so easy, it’s not a lose to loose the psp store at all lol.

 

[Golgo 13]

Good stuff! Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo need to be better about this shit, hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Right? Every once in awhile the fans have some good ideas.. imagine that.

 

[Spokker]

They better keep that store open until the last Vita in existence sees its battery unable to hold a charge.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Vita means life!


As a proud Vita owner I could not be more pleased! Even though I have not turned it on in a while there are still many great games I have yet to buy and play.

I want to play the rest of the Zero Escape games for example. Have only played one of them on Vita. But greatly enjoyed it.

 

[Captain Toad]

Jim Ryan you bastard!

 

[TexMex]

Gamers. Rise. Up.

We did it boys, we did it.

 

[SEGA_2012]

YESSSSSS PS TRIPLE FOREVER !!!!

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Days Gone 2 next Jim

If you can reverse your decision on something as worthless as the PS3 and Vita stores you can do it for Days Gone 2

Lets go Jim Lets Go

 

[Bittermich]

Epic fail

And now people can stop pretending that they still wanted to buy PS3 games or that they actually owned a Vita.

[Cyber_hunter026]

Wait Jim, you basically eliminated another pointless narrative for trolls and fanboys to use! mate what are ya doing!! /s

On-topic: this is a win for everyone!!

 

[skybaby]

Vita means life

 

[jshackles]

So they recognize that gamers are passionate about purchasing old games. They also say the decision was initially born from wanting to focus their efforts on newer hardware.

It's like they're so close to coming to the conclusion that people would be happy buying older games (PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita) if they were playable on the PS5.

 

[The Pleasure]

Where da Ryan Roll at?

 

[Kilau]

Fuck, I just bought everything on the store!

 

[Golgo 13]

Step in the right direction but what about the projects that were cancelled on Vita? Its good they sorted it out, for the most part, but they need to improve their communication clearly.

Agreed their communication still sucks. But this is a net positive for many fans.

 

[Rudius]

So having their costumers complaining about bad practices can lead to change?

 

[UnNamed]

Someone please open a petition Redeem Jim Ryan as CEO of Playstation

 

[ManaByte]

So having their costumers complaining about bad practices can lead to change?

Probably less customers and more the negative press blasting them for ignoring game preservation while praising MS for it.

 

[Banjo64]

Awesome sauce.

 

[whyman]

Is it wrong to think they did this only when they got too see the sales numbers during the last few weeks?

I imagine they realised there was more people out there willing to buy games on those platforms than they thought.

 

[retsof624]

I feel sorry for people who went out and spent Gamecube game prices on these ps3 games

 

[FunkMiller]

Clearly Jim Ryan has been replaced by Shawn Layden in a Jim Ryan body suit.

 

[cireza]

Shit decision cancelled. That's good.

Jim Ryan will use the money spent by people thinking the store would close to pay his extras.

#ibelieveinjimryan

Now we just need a playstation boss soundtrack

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Jim Ryaaaaaaaaan

 

[Miles708]

Did they say if they'll un-fuck Japan Studio, too?

 

[Calverz]

Wow what a U-turn. Shows how out of touch jim ryan is with gamers. Good its happening though

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Did they say if they'll un-fuck Japan Studio, too?

They unfucked one worthless existance

What's one more?

 

[Entroyp]

 

[Gamerguy84]

Looking forward to all the LTTP posts of games.

 

[saintjules]

Posted the same thing, MODS feel free to close my thread.

Anyway, this is a good move. That's all I can say. It's good that Ryan and the team is listening, even if only to the loudest protests.

We are one

 

[ElCasual]

So no chance for a Plus with backward compatibility PSP, PS3 and Vita in PS5?.

 

[Physiognomonics]

We did it guys. I am proud of you.

 

[CamHostage]

PSP is still closing though. Why?

It's a loss IMO, PSP has got a great library even if it's stuck in 480x272. (Upscaled emulators show PSP in striking clarity, and although it doesn't improve the graphics, it's still fun to play PSP games on a small Vita screen.) And Sony closing any store is just a sign that they're just delating the inevitable, but at least PS3 and Vita survived.

Wish they could have just transferred the library from the "PSP Store" to the "Vita Store". It can't be the file storage that's the problem, they still have to keep all these products in the server farm as they still promised re-downloading, so whatever the infrastructure problem is that costs too much to maintain these "Stores", simplify instead of eliminate, please?

 

[Iced Arcade]

This is good. Just another reason not to blindly agree/defending these companies and side with them.

Just live the xbl increase, people voiced they were not happy with it and it worked.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Why seems like they did that just to make people crazy go buy old games before the store closes lol

Now they say it will stay opened.

It was their idea of a Flash Sale

Vita = life.

 

[HotPocket69]

Temporarily taking them away was prob just a method to gauge and determine the numbers of those who were still interested in those systems. It’s a shrewd move but they knew people would have meltdowns about it, especially through social media.

Please tell me some of you also saw and/or considered this.
