PlayStation Store

“The prices on the playstation store are high and tend to stay high.”

“PlayStation store not allowing returns for games that have been downloaded is the most bs policy”

“I don't think that potential reputational damage should be used as an excuse for monopolizing software distribution.”

“Xbox and PSN don't have such luxuries AFAIK, after a game is removed from the store you cannot keep downloading and playing them.”

“Playstation recently got caught remotely deleting people's "purchased" movies too.”

“The PlayStation store is never more than MSRP and frequently has sales.”

“they regularly cut access to content they pretend to have "sold" to you with a "buy" button”

“If these mega companies stick around and continue to offer access to the content, then it is as good as buying it”

“these companies will deprive their customers of their "purchase" for many reasons”

“sony is a shitty company, let people know the stuff they buy from them gets deleted”

“decided NOT to secure the rights they'd need for the digital purchases to actually work like a purchase”

“more than 500 movies that PlayStation deleted after people had purchased them”

“That exact same game on the PlayStation Store is often still listed at $60.”

“All sony has to do is not delete your games.”

“Nintendo, Epic, Microsoft, & Sony have all failed to do well what Steam has gotten better at”

“It's really cocky of them to do this immediately after deleting everyone's purchased movies from their accounts.”

“I have much more confidence that my Steam games will still be usable a couple of decades from now than the xbox/ps stores”

“I'd still pick PlayStation over eBay. Even at this price point.”

“For things like the PS3 store, it cannot be run indefinitely. That should not be permitted.”

“my entire PSN digital library for the past 20 years is still downloadable and playable”

“They must feel free to do as they please since they know consumers are trapped.”

“It used to be a permanent license at purchase time and is now a temporary license that requires online check”

“Sony and all digital publishers with the exception of GOG are lying thieves.”

“Not the first time and not going to be the last. Unless you can download it to hardware you completely own and can make a backup, it's not really yours.”

“The problem here is Sony won't be able to give any active digital access licenses for these movies”

“That’s not their business, I would never have expected them to be in it for the long haul”

“Sony has a decade long history of being schizophrenic with long term media format support.”

“Otherwise Sony would have refunded these Studio Canal purchases to maintain the trustworthiness of their store”

“I think it should specifically say for how long you are renting it.”

“it seems like such a niche outside their core business that I'd be worried they would pull exactly what they pulled here”

“as you've just seen here, it's not about how healthy the company hosting the video files is.”

“Both parties are incentivized for this abuse of consumer ownership.”

“Sony (and many others) clearly imply in their wording that you're buying a copy when in fact you're buying a streaming license”

“Sony very strongly, probably deceptively and maliciously, implies the "lifetime pass" part while they full well know they're only selling you a ticket”

“if you buy it on PlayStation, Amazon, etc. you are only getting a revocable license”

“As that's apparently not baked into the existing contracts, someone needs to legislate that such basic consumer rights are required”

“It sounds like they didn't actually have the license necessary to be able to sell these movies in any reasonable way.”

“it should not be legal for the product page to say “purchase” or “buy” when in reality you’re only renting it”

“Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all killed digital games that I bought.”

“started doing "personalised discounts" where they will now discount the same game at different rates for different people”
