@Fred - We are awaiting additional stock from PlayStation SA. They had planned units for March and told us to communicate as such but the Final batch for that March allocation has only recently started arriving in SA due to Shipping delays.

We have already started dispatching units and collections from this week as the units arrive and will notify you as your order is processed.

As always, all orders are guaranteed, but to be fair for all PS5 customers, we have to process them i order of received and paid for You should have good news very soon!

Hi there. I ordered a console on the 10th of February and paid for it on the 25th of February. I got a confirmation email from you that you received the payment on the 1st of March, and the email also stated that I will receive one of the March allocation consoles. It's April now and I have not heard anything from you. I am fully aware that you cannot give me a clear indication as to which date I will receive my PS5 due to safety and security reasons. I would like to ask which month can you estimate the arrival of my console? Will it be around this April or May? I will be looking forward to your response.

All 138 PlayStation Games That Will Disappear After PSP, PS Vita and PS3 Store Closures

by Sam Aberdeen on 07 April, 2021

    2   4

     

Recently, PlayStation revealed that they would be closing the online storefronts for PSP, PS Vita and PS3. Come July 2nd, PSP and PS3 owners will no longer be able to purchase any games digitally, while PS Vita will meet the same fate on August 27th.

Thanks to Video Games Chronicle, we now have the full list of games that will disappear forever following the store closures. In total, 138 PlayStation games won't be available to download or purchase anymore. Either they have not received a physical release and/or only released digitally on those platforms, meaning that the ability to purchase them will no longer be there.

VGC extensively went through all the games that will be affected by the PSP, PS Vita and PS3 store closures. As mentioned, games that received physical releases will be excluded from the list (otherwise it would be a pretty massive list), as it would still be possible to purchase them in stores. However, games released digitally only and exclusive to those platforms will be lost forever. Check out the full comprehensive list below:

Luckily, you still have a few months to grab these titles before they disappear completely from the PlayStation store. The games will still be available to play after the store closures too if they're in your library, but you won't be able to buy any of them again.

@Tea There should be. Before we lose them like we've lost so many movies because reels melt and no one took notice till it was too late.
Scottie
I wouldn't worry folks - I'm sure Sony are hard at work with a plan so you can buy them all over again on the PS5.
Lurch
And that list doesn't include 200+ PS1 Classics and about 50+ PS2-for-PS3 titles. I really hope Sony has some announcement in store other than simply relegating two of their greatest console generations to expensive retro hardware, emulation, and illegal roms.
Tea
I often wonder about games that get lost to time and if there should be an official archive of some sort for legacy games (that are 20+ years old)
