This is really the final nail on the old Sony's coffin... (
)
The descent of the tunnel for me began when at one point the PlayStation 3 completely lost its backward compatibility with PS2, which practically transformed this device into an object completely unto itself (rather than to one a true multigenerational gaming station: how it been instead the PlayStation 2).

PS5 ends the button logic of O for accept, X for cancel for Asia/Japan [Up: Cannot reconfigure] (October 4, 2020).

Sony Interactive Entertainment backpedals on decision to close PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita
Sony Interactive Entertainment has backpedaled on its decision to close the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita this summer.

Glad they’re backpedaling, but it looks like jailbreaking is our solution to the cbomb issue.

This is tinfoil hat territory, but I wonder if that's their nuclear option for pushing a firmware upgrade. Like if the PS5 gets owned and can run backups, they can patch the firmware and say "Oh, and by the way, this is the only way we can assure that you'll be able to access your games if we ever pull the plug."

Yeah I agree. It's a pretty shitty thing to do tho considering if you're collecting for those systems that your game discs are going to be coasters one day when the PSN servers go bye-bye.
I know we're eventually going to be at an all digital age for a lot of shit so this is something among other things you have to deal with eventually. This is one of the reasons I have such an attachment to solid state media.

The sky is falling AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! (also buy Xbox)
The PS5 getting owned makes the battery "design issue" irrelevant...

I am honestly shocked that Sony actually resolved the issue. This is fantastic news
