In 2028 you'll be able to buy a CD, a Vinyl Record, a DVD, a Blu Ray, 4K Blu Ray, and a book for all the lastest releases.
But you won't be able to buy a physical copy of the latest PlayStation release.
That's just shonen vs shojo tropes in anime
Dandadan does shojo elements as a shonen, while freiren does shonen elements as a josei
I like that newer anime is not as restricted by their tag moulds
Sony announced them killing off physical games with a tweet and a blog post like it was some regular Wednesday, expecting people will be mad for a bit and move on.
And now the backlash has gotten so big it’s being covered by mainstream news outlets.
DON’T LET UP, DON’T SHUT UP.
The European Commission says it cannot stop Sony from ending physical PlayStation games.
In response to questions from a Member of the European Parliament, the Commission said companies are “free to offer games and services in the manner that they see fit,” as long as they follow existing consumer protection laws.
The Commission also said it has no legal basis to require companies to keep selling physical games or force them to support a specific business model.
Instead, it will continue monitoring the market and enforce EU consumer protection rules where necessary.
The live-action ‘NARUTO’ movie is now in pre-production.
• Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’)
• A global casting search has begun to cast Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura
Yea that pretty much sums it up
I already have a pc for multiplayer games (no subscription), and get physical copies on ps5 for specific titles like SH2, FF etc. And switch for portability
I won't need a PS if it loses physical copies cuz it's just a worse service pc
HOLY SHIT!!! I didn't know there was an extended version of the Midgar Expressway song. I only ever listened to the shorter version. When this part played I WENT CRAZY. THE GUITAR IS GOING NUTS HERE AND I FUCKING LOVE IT. I already loved this OST and now I love it more.
@PlayStation Movies and music industries still make physical medias, how do you explain yourselves? Don't be fucking cowards whoever made this retarded decision
People don't even realize how technically impressive it is to do a continuous shot with mixed 2D and 3D assets and keep it all synced up
Gohands just need to have a director that can reel them in while also letting them do these shots and they'll make GOLD
My bday gifts THIS YEAR were physical copies of RE9 and FF7 crisis core and wanted physical discs to be my bday gift for the next few years
Fuck you, Sony. You goddamn cowards
We need "stop killing games" now and always
I'm still pissed about PT, digimon cyber sleuth which you can't even get digitally on ps store
And those are just the games i personally wanted to grab but couldn't find
According to Sony and many publishers, you don’t own your disc, you never did. Their terms can still restrict access or revoke licenses.
That’s why we fight for consumer law: physical media was one of the last limits on this control.
You will own nothing and be happy.
SONY CAN DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT FOR NOT PLAYING.
while everyone argued about disc drives, the internet actually read Sony's European Terms of Service. section 21 of the current terms - and the clause has been there for years.
- go 36 months without logging in, and Sony may begin closing your account
- they send one email warning. You get six months to respond
- miss that email, and your entire digital library - games, DLC, purchases - becomes permanently inaccessible
- "Account closure is irreversible" - direct quote from the document
now do the math with what Sony announced this week:
> from 2028 physical disc production for new games ends - there is no backup plan.
> three years of real life - deployment, illness, a broken console - and everything you've bought over the years hangs on a single email sent to whatever address you registered in 2026.
THE DISC NEVER ASKED IF YOU'D BEEN ACTIVE LATELY.
