Last week Sony issued a statement. It announced its decision to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP, and PS Vita, which meant that with the closure of the digital store on the three consoles, it would be impossible to repurchase a video game in any of them. Hence we drew up a list of titles that we recommended you catch before it was too late.
This situation is accompanied by a severe problem, such as the fact that hundreds of games are only available in digital format and cannot be purchased in any other way. About 2,200 titles will disappear from all PlayStation stores. However, practically all of them will continue to be available on other systems, such as in its PC version or Xbox consoles.
The point is that, as we can read in VGC, there are a total of 138 video games that will disappear forever from all sides and cannot be repurchased. Actually, the amount is more significant, but many of them are for sale in physical format, so the amount mentioned is the one that we will not see again anywhere when the PlayStation Store says goodbye.
We have MotorStorm RC, inFamous: Festival of Blood or Echochrome II, among those affected by all this. Although some can be played thanks to PlayStation Now, you can only enjoy them while they remain in the catalog. So, taking all this into account, it may be an excellent time to take a look at the following list in case you dare to purchase before you miss the opportunity:

It is important to remember that the games already part of your collection will continue to be kept even if you close the PlayStation Store. The only thing you will not be able to do is to add new products to your list when the store closes on July 2, 2021, on PS3 and PSP, and on August 27 on PS Vita.
