The lost PlayStation Store
The first and only PlayStation Store was located in the Sony Metreon, an $85 million "Urban Entertainment Complex" opened in San Francisco on June 16, 1999. Though the store did well initially (with plans to open eight more in various US cities) a decline in traffic over the years led to a major overhaul of the entire complex.
In the renovation process the complex was converted into a more generic mall and the only Playstation store was shut down only 10 years after opening. (1999-2009)
