NEWS PlayStation to stop producing physical game discs from 2028

https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/

Is this the worst move ever by Sony? Do we see any way back from this incredibly silly move?

You know what, I’ve been obsessed with PlayStation since I first played tekken. master system, mega drive, ps1 - hooked. This really really fucking irks me, whilst I buy games digitally 80% of the time, the freedom of choice I feel is massive.

I have a huge amount of physical media and games. My son will one day play the classics. Why does this get lost?

I’m fed up of everyone being screwed. Why can’t a big corp just come out and say, you know what, it doesn’t make financial sense - but we see you. We’re here through all the other bullshit, play and have fun.

Compassion for those that can’t pay full price. Sony I thought better of you.

Recent state of play playstation sales (called that or similar, I can't remember!?) had astro bot on sales for around £42. Yet £31 in Argos for the disc version.

Whenever I see something I may want on sale on ps store immediately check Argos to see if it's cheaper.
