You can still download old games that have been taken down if you've bought them when available - but yeah, physical is always the way to go if you have the option.

Noo,you already can't re download your games on psp.

Sooner then later all the psn servers on ps3 will be shut down.

Well, yeah, I didn't say "while the servers are available", that is true

PSP games, can't you just download them on PC and transfer to PSP?

What is the point of removing a game from a digital store? It can't cost much of anything to keep the game there, especially if the volume hitting that game is low. We're only talking MBs worth of data storage and I'm sure Nintendo has to be the one hosting the game itself. Even if it only garners one sale out of the 5 games for then next few years, that's still profit of some kind to all involved.

Or were these online based games that require some other infrastructure that is also being shut down?
