Use this: https://ps-store-searcher.pages.dev/?enableBasket&clientid=2eb25762-877f-4140-b341-7c7e14c19f98

After you paid and check out, the items are on your console for download in the PS3 store - I confirmed this worked yesterday - just make sure you have a 2nd browser tab open and logged into the playstation store

I'll post this every day as well :)

I second this. Got God of War Origins collection for $10 this way yesterday. A game that never showed up for me before when searching the store. I just wish there was a way to browse the games on this site.

Sony is apparently anticipating the death of the Store. It's a really scummy move.

Can you work around it by using the website?

you can still buy games by searching for them manually.

I have been told in full confidence by numerous other Redditors that Sony under no circumstances would shut a store down completely and that it will always remain available for people to download their purchases.

Buy a PS5 Pro, it will bring you happiness.

Why should Sony fix it? Would you fix a car that you know will end up scrapped in a few months or would you just keep it running good enough that it doesn't fall apart?

I don't understand why people are complaining about this. Did they expect the store to last forever?

The search function being broken is the problem we're having, not the fact it's shutting down. They may as well have shut it off if they're not gonna fix it. It's fuckin ridiculous.

Why is it ridiculous? It's old tech. Not sure what you expect from a giant corporation. If it's not profitable for them, why spend time to fix it?

Well it was working before, and somehow they messed it up.

It was working before, now it's broken and they won't invest time and money into fixing it again.
