Let’s Be Honest, Sony. Play Has Some Limits

 (UPDATE: Later, Sony reversed its decision to close down the PS3 and PS Vita stores, but the PSP store will be closing as scheduled. A temporary relief for PS3 and PS Vita owners.)

In a heartless but probably sensible business decision, Sony announced today that they are shutting down the online stores for PSP, PS3, and Vita systems this summer. 

I just received the long email detailing what this means for various aspects of the service, but the bottom line is that after the shutdown, many games will become no longer available (legally) anywhere.

At the bottom of the email there was Sony’s new catchphrase “PLAY HAS NO LIMITS”. 

The irony was too much, hence the above defacing. If that logo hadn’t been there, I’d have left it alone.
