I never used Playstation Home so no loss for me. I'm sure the PSN online gaming part will continue for a little while longer. It's already going on a year since PS4 was released so this isn't entirely unexpected.

Sorry, but I hope that I haven't misunderstood something here, but are they saying that all the digital games that I purchased on the PS3 will no longer be available to me!?

No, this has nothing to do with digital game purchases. PS Home was a virtual world you could access and spend $ towards microtransactions to beef up your home. It was meant as a meeting ground to connect with your friends online and show off a virtual world. Any items you obtained, spent $ on or otherwise within PS Home, will no longer be accessible by March 2015. This does not affect PSN, PS+ any game/movie/tv/music purchases.

Phew!, thanks for that Mysttic. I can put AK47 down now, and cancel my route to Sony's headquarters.

I still don't understand why anyone would pay real money to purchase items in a virtual world. "Look friends. My virtual character drives a Ferrari. It only cost $500...of my real money!" Sony, please shut down the service to stop people from being idiots.

Sadly, I have a friend that did just that; paid real money to decorate his virtual apartment. So sad. So damn sad....

It's no worse than paying actual real money to buy content for that world of warcraft (as I've been told, never played this game as I have a life in the real world, lol).
Although I don't judge anyone for a bit of online gaming, spent a good few hours ranking up on cod myself.
