Delaying the physical release seems intentional to me, and I think part of the reason is to encourage more people to buy digital. I am not saying there isn’t issue with physical.

September is already packed with releases, so delaying both the digital and physical versions until October 15th would arguably make more sense. The fact that they’re choosing not to do that makes me think there’s another motive behind it: pushing people toward digital, where they makes more money per sale.

I’ve already seen people saying they’ll cancel their physical pre-orders and just buy the digital version instead. And then people wonder why Sony keeps moving away from physical discs. If publishers deliberately make physical versions less convenient or delay them, while making digital available earlier, they’re naturally going to push more consumers toward digital.

Considering how disappointing The Last of Us Season 2 was, would you rather see a movie that's canon to the games, set either between Part II and Part III or after Part III, with Ashley Johnson returning to play Ellie with Ellie being late 30s or early 40s? I think that could be a great option and have continuity with the games while letting Ashley finally lead a live action story as Ellie.

The next step could be to organise a coordinated global day of peaceful protest.

A potential timeframe could be a day in September or October, with demonstrations taking place at key PlayStation locations around the world. It would also be a great opportunity to work alongside gaming communities, consumer advocacy groups, retailers, and other supporters of physical media.

Some potential locations include:

PlayStation's global headquarters in California, USA
PlayStation offices in Tokyo, Japan
PlayStation offices in London, UK
PlayStation Canada in Mississauga, Ontario
Sony DADC's disc manufacturing facility in Austria

For anyone not able to travel to locations 
We could have Symbolic locations in cities.

Any thoughts ?

If you have a Halo disc for Xbox or PlayStation 5 the evolved campaign works now. After downloading the preload/update, it started running great on my Xbox Series X. It’s also working great on PlayStation 5 Pro for those with discs. No NZ trick just discs are working now.

Before I lived in NZ I would drink Magnesium citrates
In NZ we can’t get it in liquid form just powered and pill forms. I am wondering if I broke open the pills and mixed into water if it would have the same effect ?

Speaking out against Sony does make a difference.
Anyone claiming that public criticism achieves nothing is ignoring how companies actually respond to sustained consumer pressure.
Here's why your voice matters:
It weakens their marketing efforts. Negative publicity can overshadow advertising campaigns and put additional pressure on relationships with studios, publishers, and business partners.

It influences purchasing decisions. When confidence in a brand declines, fewer people are willing to buy consoles, games, subscriptions, or place pre-orders.

It spreads awareness. More gamers become informed about what's happening and begin discussing the direction the industry is heading.

It creates financial consequences. Refunds, exchanges, customer support costs, and damage-control campaigns all add to a company's expenses.

It concerns shareholders. Ongoing controversy can reduce investor confidence and contribute to fluctuations in market value.

It harms public trust. A damaged reputation isn't rebuilt overnight and can affect a company long after the controversy ends.

It can draw regulatory attention. A growing number of consumer complaints and legal disputes may prompt investigations, reviews, or compliance audits.

It can encourage official action. Greater public visibility can increase pressure on regulators and policymakers to examine consumer protection issues.

Most importantly: it makes it more difficult for the company to simply wait until people lose interest, increasing the pressure to acknowledge concerns and respond.

Never believe that speaking up is pointless. Consumer voices are one of the strongest forms of influence available. Companies care about public perception because it directly affects trust, revenue, and long-term success.
Walking away in silence rarely changes anything. If we want meaningful improvements, we have to remain visible, stay united, and continue raising awareness for as long as necessary—whether that's weeks, months, or longer.
This is bigger than Sony.
It's about protecting the future of gaming, defending physical and digital ownership, preserving games, supporting the second-hand market, safeguarding jobs across the industry, and encouraging every publisher to respect what players value.
The outcome of this debate will help shape whether consumers have a genuine voice or whether corporations can continue making decisions without meaningful accountability.
Keep speaking up. Keep pushing for change.

Any video game launching at €50 or higher must be offered in a version that is:
• Available through retailers or with retail digital codes
• Games are fully resellable and tradable and without an internet connection
• Capable of full offline play after transfer for single player games.

This would require some form of backup media
that allows ownership to be transferred offline.

The backup media would unlink the game from the original PSN account and bind it to the media .
Redownloading it from the PSN would require the backup media connection for verification where it could be unlinked from the back up Media and linked to the PSN account.

This approach would effectively force either physical discs or a secure transferable offline digital equivalent.

Getting rid of disc offers PlayStation a short term financial gain over the next few years, and it seems they've decided that's more important than the damage to the brand.

There is no doubt they will lose fans but think they will make more from those that stick around and switch.

They've likely crunched the numbers and concluded they'll make more money this way. But I think they're underestimating the long term impact on customer goodwill and trust. Brand damage isn't always immediate, but it can have lasting consequences that outweigh the profits.

Ironically, I think this shift could eventually lead to stronger digital ownership rights. If consumers gain the ability to resell, transfer, or truly own their digital games, the industry could end up losing more revenue than it ever did from keeping physical discs in the market.
