silent hillsIt is official, gamers will no longer be able to download P.T. from the PlayStation Store so if you forgot to download your copy, it looks like you’re flat out of luck. Now some of you guys might be thinking that you could pick up a PS4 on eBay where a copy of the game still remains, but unfortunately that looks like a no-go as well.

According to reports, it seems that eBay is taking down auctions of the PlayStation 4 that has the game installed on it. Why is this? Apparently this has to do with a copyright issue where users aren’t allowed to sell items that might be copyrighted to someone else, in this case P.T. belongs to Konami and since Konami did not authorize the sale/distribution of the game via these eBay sellers, it is technically not allowed.

This move isn’t that surprising especially when you consider that a while ago, eBay also removed auctions of iPhones that came with Flappy Bird preinstalled on them. We suppose this is rather unfortunate for gamers who have yet to see what all the fuss is about, and we guess the closest they can get to it is probably check out the various playthrough videos online. Alternatively you could always try to find a friend who has a copy of the game and play it at their place.
