Hey everyone 👋

I thought it would be good for us who still buy primarily physical media, and for the collectors amongst you to share their PlayStation gear. Whether you've been collecting since generation 1 or the most recent, there remains an undeniable joy in buying and really owning media that delivers such cultural impact. If it's really going, it'll be something I personally miss immensely.

In case anyone needs a refresh on where they started:

Realising it's hard with single-image comments but it'll be good to see how varied our collections are in a single thread.

Thanks again for your support, the last few days haven't been fun and community matters when seismic events happen.

Hi everyone,

Some sad news indeed today. Sony has officially announced the end to physical media in mainstream publishing from January 2028.

Hi everyone 👋

We were letting the conversation play out on a few core threads on this topic. Sony hasn't addressed the issue officially yet (as of the time of this post), but there is a lot of speculation.

To be clear, we are not supressing any information on this topic, we are PS fans as well. To counter the amount of random posts on the subject though, we'll look to aggregate conversations here and lock the other threads.

The latest informed position from the community appears to be this is a way for Sony to fix a workaround for refunded games to be still accessible:

https://www.ign.com/articles/playstation-fans-think-theyve-figured-out-sonys-mysterious-new-drm

If true that would be another traditional case of the minority ruining things for the many. We won't know for sure until Sony let us know, this will be updated when that happens.

Huge thanks as always
