Ryan Clements, PLEASE forward the following to the board of executives at Sony:
1. Please make PS2 games on PS4 cross-buy ($5 discount for Platinum trophy PS2 games, except GTA: San Andreas) with PS2 classics on PS3, that is unfair & a big slap to the face to PS3 owners who bought those games as PS2 classics
2. Please release the PS2 version of Donald Duck Goin Quackers as a PS2 game on PS4 and/or PS2 classic on PS3, as well as Haunting Ground & Sonic Heroes.
3. Please release the PSone game Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness on the Playstation Store, that game is listed on the ESRB website for PS3 and Vita.
4. Please work extremely 100% close with Square Enix’s USA division & release the PSone game Pandemonium 2 as a PSone classic on the PlayStation Store.
5. Please make the Dualshock 4 100% compatible with the PS3 (meaning making the PS button, rumble, & Sixaxis controls work)
6. please release a 1TB super slim PS3 and discontinue the 500GB model, 500GB is not enough storage for games like Yakuza 5.
Thanks
Hi there! I appreciate your passion, but please avoiding spamming the comments with these lists or you won’t have a place for more on-topic discussions. Thanks for your understanding.
I’m really upset with what Playstation has done with PSNOW – I went to subscribe last week and couldn’t was told by support to wait – and now I’m told that the ‘special’ has ended and that I’m out of luck. I’m so disappointed by Sony and Playstation. Not going to be excited about any game until this gets resolved!
It amazes me that he’s so optimistic. The PS3 probably doesn’t have another 10 years of lifespan. It’s already hitting it’s 10th year.
It’ll probably go strong for a few more years, my only hope at this point is that they don’t shut down the PS3 digital store, because that will just be lawsuits, and anger, and will hurt all console gaming.
Especially since digital titles are more profitable by a good margin than physical goods, and that breaking consumer trust like that (even with PS Now) and the PS3 will be utterly hacked, modded, and undermine the whole product brand. PS Now is great, but questionable internet reliability, and bandwidth caps are not.

Call Sony customer support or go onto their text chat. They helped me when I bought the first One Piece PIrate Warriors at full price launch week, and then next week it was PS Plus discounted with no advanced warning.
Looks like your problem is even less your fault than mine was my fault. So I would be surprised if they don’t help you. Just be polite, and politely escalate to a supervisor if they won’t help you, and if they are reluctant to escalate, just politely repeat.
“Thank you for trying to help but I will not be satisfied until I talk to a supervisor”
Broken record that if you have to.
I didn’t have to do that when I called Sony for help, but ANY time I struggle with customer support or there’s an accent barrier I’m struggling with I go into broken record politeness mode.
If I had to guess, I think they would have you buy 6 months worth in advance, and then give you 6 months free, but considering it was a limited time promo, it might be hard for them to help depending on how their internal systems are set up. I did cellphone customer support back in the day (not Sony)
Please stop spamming this nonsense on every single entry that Ryan posts. It has gotten way beyond old.
Wow, He actually responded to that… No offence Ryan Clements. Anyways I’m Really Shocked that The Witcher 3 God so much Love. I personally never played it but according to The 2015 Game awards I should at some point. But I’ve also heard from others that it is a really bad game that has really bad Fighting and is a “Want to be Skyrim” So my friend calls it. I Don’t Know If I should get it or not.
