killamch89 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 As Sony advances through console generations, legacy platforms like the PSP and PS Vita live or die by ongoing support: firmware patches, server upkeep, and storefront maintenance. While some fans applaud occasional security updates and multiplayer server extensions, others lament abrupt shutdowns that strand digital libraries and online communities. What’s your verdict on Sony’s stewardship of its aging hardware? Which past support decisions whether positive or negative have most impacted your experience?

killamch89 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 PlayStation Support's approach to legacy systems has been deeply inconsistent. They'll repair a PS5 under warranty efficiently but have completely abandoned hardware support for PS3 and earlier. This disposable approach contradicts Sony's own marketing about the PlayStation legacy and the importance of gaming history. If they truly valued their heritage, they'd offer refurbishment services for older consoles like Nintendo does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
