Update: Native PSP store to close on 3/31. Content purchases still accessible at https://t.co/luJeIk6YxT. More info: https://t.co/vBJvdJR1pG

"On March 31, 2016, the PlayStationStore for PlayStationPortable (PSP) system in the SCEA region will be closed," Sony said in a blog post. "PSP system users will be able to purchase PSP content from the web-based PlayStation Store at store.playstation.com, and also access past purchases from the Download list on their PSP system."

Users, however, will still be able to make in-game purchases from their PSP system even after March 31, the Japanese company said.
