We're not entirely sure what the deal is with Sony's PlayStation Gear online merchandise store. For the past two and a half years, passionate fans have been able to purchase officially licensed clothing, statues, and artwork from the hardware manufacturer across EU territories. However, much like when it returned to the internet in May 2017, the store has now shut up shop once again.
The official website now sports a message reading: "Thanks for visiting PlayStation Gear. We're sorry to say that the site (playstation-gear.com) in Europe has now closed." Those who recently placed an order on the site can still receive customer support, but anyone looking to grab a deal in any sort of January sale is out of luck. The US version of the PlayStation outlet is still in operation at the time of writing, although it does not offer worldwide shipping to European countries. In other words, if you noticed a lovely figurine on the site recently at an enticing price, you're unfortunately out of luck.
There is a chance that the store will return at some point in the future, much like it did in 2017, but there isn't any information to suggest that will be the case just yet. Were you planning on purchasing something from PlayStation Gear? Share your disappointment in the comments below.

I'm moving house later this month and was planning on kitting my new room out with some purchases from this website. Not chuffed.
Don’t take my money.

yet another blow to europe from sony sigh.
Aw man, the Europe Gear Store was so much better than the US one.
@Stocksy 😂 beautiful
just more crapping on the EU probably
'For the players' eh? Doesn't really affect me as the only online shopping I do is through the Ps4 and Xbox One stores via the consoles for game downloads. But this was one of the things that pizzed me off about Xbox with US only stores or competitions to win one off Xbox consoles (although seeing as Xbox is murican that's understandable). But from what I've read ps4 and Xbox sales were similar in america, with ps4 a couple million (with another couple million on top) ahead. I thought ps4 sold more in Europe. Way to shaft the fans if that was the case.
I blame brexit.
That is a shame, I've bought a few things from them in the past.
Hopefully it will be back soon!
@JON22 In the UK it is very close between PS4 and XBO, the rest of Europe is where the PS4 outsells XBO significantly.
It's a bit weird, they seemed to be pushing this really hard.
@LiamCroft
Most items can be bought on other websites
@hotukdeals Which ones?
They saw you gave Death Stranding the #2 GotY position and they rage quit.
