Whilewe were putting this issue together, Sony announced that it was going to close the PSP, PS3 and Vita stores – only to reverse its decision on the PS3 and Vita. We talk over the implications of that, and other related issues, for collecting these platforms in the future.

So before the shutdown was announced, when was the last time you actually used the PS3 or Vita digital stores?

Controversial! For me it was probably to review a Vita game for the reviews section. Of course, that changed when I heard all the stores were disappearing!
I claimed a copy of a Vita game that I’d backed on Kickstarter last year. For PS3, it would have been around the time Yakuza 5 came out.
