(+) Yeah! (+)

Like will you still have any digital content you bought?

For real right. I wanna buy one to play casually but I don't know if I can get my games back.

I guess it depends on how far into the future. Support will probably still exist for at least a few more months, maybe years, maybe decades I dunno. Definitely not five billion years from now since the sun is supposed to die before then.

So it ain't worth it to get another one to play older games, especially digital downloads?

physical support is dying but digital should be fine for a while

It'll probably all be good for a few years or so.

Every Playstation so far has stretched at least a decade.

The PSN for the PS3 and 4 are the same so the digital stuff will always be around unless licensing issues arise.

Very interesting stuff and perspectives. This helps. Thanks.

I was thinking it'd cost about $300 or a bit less to get a console (preferably new 500gb), a second controller, and like two games. Sound right?

Here goes a thread where some people say support could stop 2018, next year.

sports games

iirc, Fifa 14 was released on the ps2, 3, and 4.

seeing as they continually update with psn sales on the same level as PS4(with tons of repeats and recycles obv)means it won't die out anytime soon.

The PS3's decade ended last year. I know you used the "at least" as a low threshold though.
