I actually like that thinking, haven't thought of it that way. Should the day come when Sony decides to kill all digital copies of games people have collected over the years, who's stopping them from just jailbreaking/rooting/cracking/CFW-ing their console to just download the games they want from dedicated communities who have dumped those games on the internet ages ago?

I did the same thing with my 3DS when the eShop was officially closed, and now I can't imagine a 3DS without access to anything I could want on there.
