PS3 and Vita stores will remain, but the PSP store will be going away.

To add to the strangeness of it all, someone has made a browser plugin to access the old store.

Supposedly old titles are still available for sale, just hidden from the average person's view:

I have one CFWed as well. Due to them being backwards compatible, it's very much worth it.

Apparently after all the criticism Sony decided to leave PSP games on the store. DLC won't be there, though.

What about PS Vita? The handhelds aren’t totally fucked since they are heaven for modders and people to sideload apps/roms on for free.

Edit: Lol my last post talked ab this as well.

It sounds like games will remain for all 3. DLC for PSP games has likely been removed, though it might be available through other channels.
