The PlayStation 3 store fully resumed operations after nearly four days of interruption of service.User feedback all functions are now functioning normally, and the maintenance prompts previously displayed have also disappeared.
The service interruption began late Tuesday night and affected several regions, including the United States and Australia.During a failure, maintenance notifications will be triggered when a user attempts to access the store, causing the application to be forced to close and the browsing or purchasing operations cannot be performed.But some European users said they were not affected, suggesting that the problem may have arisen from a specific server cluster rather than a global failure.
Sony has not issued an official statement on the cause of the failure.Before the incident, Sony planned to close the PS3 store in 2021, but later withdrew its decision due to strong opposition from players.Although Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has promised to retain access to classic game content, the failure has once again sparked discussions about the long-term sustainability of the platform's digital infrastructure.
The PS3 store is still of great value to players seeking digital exclusive games, classic PlayStation works and exclusive content.For core users, the continuous operation of the store is not only about the convenience of use, but also carries the significance of preserving the historical heritage of the game.
