I thought the Vita and Ps3 was already closed ... but according to Sony:

That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future.

At least we will still be able to download.  I need to log back into the PS3 and Vita to see what is still offered to buy lol.

Thoughts, Comments, post it up!!

It seems like Microsoft or Nintendo did something similar with some legacy stuff and the last few days had some killer sales. Maybe Sony will sell a bunch of digital stuff for cheap!

@targetrasp  - that's a good thought! Maybe we will get a bunch of huge sales!  Hm... not sure what I would buy at this point lol 

Hm... would @retro junkie buy anything?

I really did not know that the store was still open. I haven't had my PS3 out of storage and hooked up in a very long time. I have only purchased a couple of cheap PS1 games back during the PS3 glory days. And I have never purchased any Digital games for the Vita. I never considered it.

The only thing I have out for gaming is the Evercade VS, Wii-U, and the Retron GX in the living room. And I have the Sega Genesis, and the N64 at my Mac Mini TV. And I keep my portables within reach.
