As a dedicated gamer, I’ve experienced the frustration of Sony attempting to close down the aging PS Store for the PS3 – a move that sent shockwaves through our gaming community due to its ferocious backlash. Thankfully, they reversed their decision, but given that the system is nearly 20 years old now, whenever it hiccups, we gamers can’t help but worry about the potential consequences.
For nearly two days now, the online store of the previous-previous generation console has been displaying maintenance error messages. This issue was initially noticed by the website Delisted Games, although we too have encountered this problem on the European PlayStation Store.
It appears the large Japanese company hasn’t shared any updates about current maintenance on their products, and given that the PlayStation 3 isn’t currently at the top of their list of priorities, this lack of communication seems unremarkable.
It’s important to mention that we haven’t encountered any problems with the PS Vita, and similar situations have happened previously, only to be fixed.
It appears that the outdated design of the PS3 is causing Sony some trouble, as they’ve recently had issues with older purchased avatars becoming inaccessible on their newer consoles too. Could this issue be connected to the upkeep of the old architecture? (Though it seems improbable.)
It’s unlikely that the platform holder would consider shutting down the PS3 network, given the strong and intense opposition it faced during its previous attempt. This issue seems more like a minor glitch that will soon be resolved without causing much fuss – maybe someone at PlayStation needs to fix a small problem, or perhaps just give the system a quick reset. In simpler terms, it appears to be just a temporary technical hitch.
