You'll still be able to download from the consoles themselves, but this is obviously bad news for the PS3 where its store has been barely functional for years and the only reliable way to download anything was from the webstore.

Oh thank God it wasn't just me.

But still this means bad news.

Well, I guess this renders my PS3 pretty much obsolete. Like you said, the console store is awful. It genuinely crashes my PS3 anytime I open it. What a dumb fucking move.

Why would they remove the wishlist feature? That just makes no sense to me.

Is the PS3 store a widespread problem? I ask because I have never had a problem opening or using the store on PS3.

I feel that it's a thing where over time it just gets worse and worse as your hard drive fills up

Doing a system restore and rebuilding your database can sometimes fix it but eventually it gets back to how it was

This is concerning for me because my PS slim disk drive is on the verge of failing and I don't still have do many games to finish. I'm currently bidding on a PS3 super slim that comes with 30 games (mostly ones I don't have) to have as a backup and the thought of redownlading my digital games sounds like a nightmare

Not to mention pre-order collectibles!

And I haven't had to buy a lot of these HD re-releases because I've got a fat PS3 that can play my physical PS2 games!

If they remove a feature that shows demand for a product, they can justify discontinuing the product. Sony does this all the time. (See PS2 games being actively hidden on the PS4 store)

That might be a warning to download a copy of the PS3 Firmware file in case you need it later, Sony may in the future drop access to that on their website before you know it.

Just something to think about. Without the firmware file, replacing an old dead harddrive with a new one requires a firmware file for the PS3 to interface with a freshly installed blank harddrive. I know this, because I dealt with replacing a dying harddrive of 10 years in my PS3 Slim a few months ago.

Admittedly I AM running out of room but it beats running out of digital room and having to upgrade hardrives every once in a While

As long as preservation via emulation outstrips fading hardware/official digital availability there's no real issue.

PS3 emulation does still have a bit of a ways to go but depending on what you want to play it's actually pretty brilliant at this point. Thankfully PS5's BC for PS4 looks to be solid so we're at a really happy spot on the emulation capability/hardware availability treadmill right now.
