Playstation is no longer going to produce physical games starting in 2028

Welp, Sony decided to stop producing physical games starting in 2028. The playstation 5 is the last playstation console I will own because of this news. Physical media is better than digital.

Yeah they lost me. I thought they would capitalize on Xbox going digital and still offer an option but it looks like they colluded with all of the publishers to push this.

Here's a classic!

xD I remember that! It's sad to think now they're ditching discs. I remember I got a PS4 over the Xbox One originally for that dumb "always online" nonsense that didn't last long. Though I was disappointed that the PS4 wasn't backwards compatible. I eventually got a Xbox One and I mainly game on Xbox now. My wife plays the PS5 more than I do.
