Physical media will always be the superior at to play video games and all types of media🚀 ✅Gamers buy physical media, even $10 more expensive, like Ocarina of Time remake ✅Many games have sole 35-51% physical this year alone according to reports ✅Physical media is the only means of ownership and preservation or video games ✅Physical games maintain healthy competition in pricing by providing options, and prevents a monopoly where only Sony’s predatory dynamic and regional pricing strategy is available Plus, it’s 2026, and despite the existence of digital media and streaming: 1️⃣Music comes to disc and vinyl 2️⃣Movies keep coming to Blu-Ray 3️⃣Books still released in print Video games are the least accessible and preservable form of art/entertainment and they’re taking to take away the one mean for ownership, preservation and competitive pricing options to extort money from you. Digital-only is NOT the future It is anti-consumer and anti-gamer NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Sony has reportedly left the Blu-Ray UHD player market🚀 ✅Sony Japan discontinued their last remaining UHD Blu-ray player, UBP-X700/K ✅This seemingly marks the company's exit from the industry ✅This leaves PlayStation 5 as the only remaining Sony Blu-Ray player This marks another predatory move from Sony to end physical media, despite the ongoing demand for Blu-Ray UHD films NO DISC 💿 NO BUY Source: Japanese blog Kunkoku, (also a Sony retailer) Sales officially end in Japan today

Jailbroken PS5 console managed to make PlayStation 2 games run on PS5 from disc, without even importing digital files🚀 This means Sony were deliberately keeping players from running their games that can work just fine, just so they can sell the games again on PS Store / PS+ Modders are also working on making PS3 games run from disc on PS5, also after Sony telling us it’s “hard” to do so, due to “different infrastructure” And now you see how far Sony’s greed has gotten. XBOX could always run games from all past generations, full backwards compatibility, yet Sony somehow pretended it was hard, and they once pretended to be shocked as to “why would anyone wanna play old games”? And there you have it, it’s greed. The same reason they wanna convince you discs are a niche market and don’t sell when data proved them wrong💿 (Special thanks @Pirat_Nation for the research)

Ex-PlayStation boss Shawn Layden chimed in on Sony’s plan to end physical media stating “I don't agree with that decision”🚀 While Layden understands the convenience of digital games, he insists that even if 80% of people download games and 20% buy them physically, the 20% is “super important” He added that these are the most “faithful of the faithful” players, who even buy multiple copies of a game to add to their collections🫡 Source: The Expansion Pass podcast ___________ Huge respect to Shawn Layden for having a full understanding of gamers and the importance of physical media, and that it’s not about whether digital or physical has the bigger percentage, but rather honoring the options and wishes of the most loyal, in addition to the many other benefits of physical media. I would do anything to have gave back as a CEO of PlayStation alongside Shuhei Yoshida, both of whom have demonstrated their passion for gaming and great understanding of gaming culture, and both of whom made Sony flourish under their influence and wisdom💿

Marvel Wolverine is a getting its soundtrack released on vinyl, with a free MP3 downloadable album included🚀 Looks like Sony still believes physical media is profitable after all and people do indeed buy physical They aren’t even ashamed of their hypocrisy😅 NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Asha Sharma could do the coolest move now and announce Project Helix supporting physical media with full games on disc, and no internet required (unless for patches or online)🚀 We need real competition in the video game industry, because competition brings superior quality and will have all those execs running to please gamers to win them, rather than getting comfy and arrogant and taking us for granted, thinking we’ll take whatever they throw at us, since they’ve got nothing the prove. No, we will not take whatever they throw at us. We will speak out and vote with our voices and wallets, and we won’t stop. We are the customers We hold the money and power There’s an estimated 3 billion gamers out there in some shape or form. We overpower and outnumber their predatory polices and fake marketing narratives. Bending over backwards to defend and support corporations that don’t even see you as more than a number, is no the flex you think it is. The real flex is knowing your self worth, the value for your money and to make them want to please you with superior service💪🏼 NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
