cmiller4642 1 hour ago#1 I know they're ending PS+ free games, but next year I'm trying to buy all of the PS One and PS2 classics that I can while the system is still active.  I'm hoping they keep that ability at least until January 2020. I've given up hope that Sony will ever bring 2/3 of these over to the PS4 or their next console. (edited 1 hour ago)reportquote

They're still doing sales on classics right now. If they can just hold out until 2020 then I'm golden.  I'm buying this more to have collections to go back and play when I want to. Metal Gear Legacy, GTA LCS/VC/4+EFLC, Final Fantasy VIII, etc... aren't going to PS4.  That way I can have my PS3 and PS4 side by side and play through the entire series of GTA's 3D universe for example from beginning to end. reportquote

Sales don't matter to me, I just want to get Fatal Frame 1-3 on PSN while I still can.  They announced today that they're ending free games on + for the PS3 in March, but I think they'll hold out on shutting down the game sale servers for a while.

But I don't think the OS has the capability like it does with saves and such. 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 reportquote

MC_BatCommander  tell him to get over it1 hour ago#12 I highly doubt it will end any time soon. The PS3 is accessing the same network the PS4 does, so I don't see what they would gain by blocking it. Also, these are games you purchased and as far as I know, no company so far has revoked the ability of customers to download purchased games. We'll see going down the line. The Legend is True!
