Can’t Rent A Server (PS3)

[Starcade_Legend]

Hello.  It’s been about a week now my PSN friends and I have been trying to rent a server (via in-game PS3 menu), but we keep getting a message stating ‘There is no content available for download at this time. Please try again later.’  Has this option become obsolete?  Thanks in advance.

did some search on Google.

and can see you are not alone, with that problem.

some people think it's because, the new consoles are soon here.

the new playstation and Xbox.

so the playstation 3, and Xbox 360. will shut down for all online soon after.

but it was what people, was guessing on.

I don't know myself, because I haven't been on my PS3 for many years.

because when I got my PS4, I gave away my PS3 with all games.

to people who have no money, to buy one themselves.

and I will do it again with my PS4, when i get the PS5.

but you can try, and ask support about that.

@MichaelDK Well, since we’re just talking off topic, let me give you my opinion as well.

I believe the PS5 will be backwards compatible with the PS3. So all of those games you gave away in hopes of becoming the next Pope...time to scour the internet and rebuy them, buy them again through the PS Store, or subscribe to PS Now. Praise Him!

Anyone have any personal experiences or theories on this scenario? 🤔

@Starcade_Legend, I was not talking off topic.

it was just what a Google Search, did tell me on your problem.

and after that I told you why, I couldn't look for myself on the PS3 servers.

and on this image, you can see how it looks on battlefield 4. (PS4)

looks like they are closing down, the rent a server program.
