What consequences for my PS3 and Psvita library?
The upcoming closure of the PlayStation Store on PS3 and Psvita does not mean that you will no longer be able to access your games previously acquired by this sales channel.The FAQ readable in the email, and better explained at this address is clear on this subject.
What does my purchases become?
Your purchases made on the PlayStation Store will remain your property.They will continue to be accessible from the download list - which can be found in the console interface.This applies to games as well as for videos, also available in streaming from the my videos application.
It will also no longer be possible to make in-game purchases (microtransactions).
Will I lose the funds of my wallet?
The wallet you use on PS3 and/or PSVITA is linked to your PlayStation Network account, common to the whole PlayStation range.Therefore, if you have a few funds once the two deadlines have passed, they will not be lost.On the other hand, they can be spent only for content available on PS4 and/or PS5.
If you do not plan to acquire a short -term PS4 or PS5, you can apply for reimbursement.The terms will be specified later by Sony.

Would I always have access to the PlayStation Plus bonuses?
Indispensable to play online on PS4 and PS5, the PlayStation Plus also allows you to recover games for free.On this point, Sony is formal: "You can always download and play the games to which you were entitled as part of the PlayStation more as long as you are subscribed to this service.Likewise, the codes to extend your subscription will always be usable on PS3 and PSVITA.
What about Cross-Buy games?
With the PS3 and the Psvita, Sony had introduced the cross-buy functionality, which makes it possible to obtain several versions of the same game for the price of one.There is a small feature concerning them: if you have downloaded only one of the versions, it is necessary to download the other before the closure of the PlayStation Store - otherwise it will be lost.
Moreover, any cross-buy content today available on PS4 will always give access to other linked versions (PS3, PSVITA and/or PSP).
