@AdamNovice I think some of the reactions are a little knee jerk. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people threatened to change consoles or get a PC and then they end up not doing so.
I wasn’t really looking to get this, but I guess they were a little concerned at how busy the month was looking.
This is disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. I’ll be getting every game I want physical until then. I hope they change course with backlash, but not thinking so
As long as they aren't replacing humans and speeding things up, I guess I can live with that. Sounds like they aren't trying to use it in creativity stuff.
Yes, things suck. Yes, it’ll get better before it gets worse, but seriously, these doom and gloom speculation stories need to stop. Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less a year from now.
Also, hardly anyone is clamoring for next gen, so it would make more sense to delay it, but we’ll see.
Good thing I’m in no rush for next gen. Still plenty of life on PS5. And wish all these speculation articles will stop. We have no clue what will happen tomorrow, much less over a year from now. It may be as bad as they say, but it could be worse or it could be better. But I think declaring gaming dead is a bit premature.
I’m in no hurry for next gen, even if I didn’t have to worry about pricing. Nobody knows for sure. Maybe AI will completely collapse! Yes, I know that’s not very likely, but nothing’s impossible.
No way it won’t eventually have an online mode. R* would be damn fools to leave all that potential monetization on the table. I don’t agree with it, but it is reality.
@Xodan Saw on Reddit some people talked to support (not just the AI bot) and said it was being looked into. Unsure if that’s true or just lip service, though.

Re: Sony Abandons Social Media for 24 Hours+ After Controversially Killing Physical Games
My guess is they're taking a long weekend and won't say anything before Monday at the earliest.
Re: Sony's Been Planning All-Digital Future for 'Some Time', Unlikely to Reverse Decision on Game Discs
Didn’t expect it to change anyway. I did sign a petition, but doubt it’ll do any good.
Re: The Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Is Yet Another Xbox Team at Risk of Closure
So they spent all that money for absolutely nothing. Only ABK and Bethesda will likely be the last ones standing. Good going, MS
Re: PlayStation's Plan to Kill Physical Games Has Spawned Not One But Many Online Petitions
Don’t think it’ll do any good
Re: PS6 May Not Be the Only Fully Digital Console Next-Gen
This isnt surpassing with the Game Pass push and all discs requiring a download

Re: PS6 Release Now Expected End of 2028, According to Analyst
I didn’t care about next gen before and today’s news didn’t change that.
Re: Just 15% of All PS5 Software Was Purchased Physically Last Quarter
This is why I'm not surprised by the news. Disappointed? Definitely, but not surprised.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
This is disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. I’ll be getting every game I want physical until then. I hope they change course with backlash, but not thinking so
Re: Rumour: State of Decay 3 Dev Also Facing Xbox Axe, Weeks After Game Was Revealed for PS5
Does Microsoft have a death wish for XBox or something?
Re: Sony Says AI Is a 'Foundational Technology' and 'Exciting Long-Term Opportunity' for Its PS6 Strategy
As long as they aren't replacing humans and speeding things up, I guess I can live with that. Sounds like they aren't trying to use it in creativity stuff.
Re: PS5 Dominates Xbox for Single Player Games, New Data Suggests
No shock. Xbox is sinking
Re: Rumour: PS6 Costs Sony Almost $1,000 to Make Right Now
Yes, things suck. Yes, it’ll get better before it gets worse, but seriously, these doom and gloom speculation stories need to stop. Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less a year from now.

Re: GTA 6 PS5 Disc Hopes Seemingly Dashed by Rockstar Source
I believe nothing without official confirmation, so time will tell. Even if it comes, still expecting it to require a download.
Re: Microsoft Responds to Reports of GTA 6 PS5 Pre-Orders Trouncing Xbox
Well, someone's jealous.
Re: PlayStation Boss Drops Biggest Hint Yet That PS6 Will Have a Portable Console
This might be good if done right.
Re: Major Retailer Warns of PS5 Console Shortages in Light of GTA 6
Wouldn’t be surprised at all that GTA VI is moving consoles.
Re: Sony Will Continue to Chase Live Service Dream, Despite Mostly Disastrous Execution to Date
Maybe try something different than an Overwatch or Fortnite clone and they’d have better luck, but still suxks
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders of GTA 6 Apparently Outpacing Xbox by 6:1
In other news, summer is hot and winter is cold. I don't think there was any doubt honestly.
Re: The Physical PS5 Release of This Ghibli-Esque Cosy Game Will Come with a Cookbook
If it had been a physical cookbook, that would've been even cooler.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
Not sure why this is news. You raise the prices, you won't sell as many. Not rocket science.
Re: Bungie Loses 292 Full-Time Staff in Heavy Round of Layoffs
@Oram77 Fair point, but if things don’t turn around for Marathon, I am sure it’ll probably be the end
Re: Bungie Loses 292 Full-Time Staff in Heavy Round of Layoffs
I’m surprised they didn’t shut it down, but it’s probably only a matter of time
Re: Worrying News for PS6, as Memory Prices Tipped to Double by End of 2027
@LogicStrikesAgain Agreed, but it’s sort of the old “if it bleeds, it leads”. They get way more views for negative news than positive.
Re: Worrying News for PS6, as Memory Prices Tipped to Double by End of 2027
@Jay767 They’ve made some questionable decisions, but I really don’t think they’re that stupid
Re: Worrying News for PS6, as Memory Prices Tipped to Double by End of 2027
Good thing I’m in no rush for next gen. Still plenty of life on PS5. And wish all these speculation articles will stop. We have no clue what will happen tomorrow, much less over a year from now. It may be as bad as they say, but it could be worse or it could be better. But I think declaring gaming dead is a bit premature.
Re: Don't Worry, Bub, Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Physical Version Has a Disc in the Box
I’m sure it’s going to be a question for a lot of games
Re: PS5 Costs Too Much, But These New Xbox Price Increases Are Just Absurd
The sooner AI calms down the better. Just praying my PS5 doesn’t give out soon. Gonna get worse before it gets better.
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Will Get a Disc-Based Physical Release After Its Initial Launch
Probably will still require a download!
Re: PS5 Adds Custom GTA 6 Start-Up Screen, Sony Rebrands PS App as Pre-Orders Go Live
I turned on my PS5 and that little screen didn't happen and preorders are live now, so dunno if it's real or not.
Re: 'Above $1,000 Is the Floor': Analysts Predict PS6 Price, and It's Not Good
I’m in no hurry for next gen, even if I didn’t have to worry about pricing. Nobody knows for sure. Maybe AI will completely collapse! Yes, I know that’s not very likely, but nothing’s impossible.
Re: Physical Retailers Refuse to Sell GTA 6 Over Decision to Skip Discs
While it won’t make much of a dent in sales, good for them for sticking to their guns.
Re: GTA 6 Is a 'Single Player Experience', No Word on GTA Online at Launch
No way it won’t eventually have an online mode. R* would be damn fools to leave all that potential monetization on the table. I don’t agree with it, but it is reality.
Re: GTA 6 Confirmed to Be an $80 Game
Better than I feared at least.
Re: GTA 6 Physical Edition Doesn't Come with Discs, It's a Code in the Box
Code in a box? That sucks! Still doubt it’ll hurt sales much
Re: GTA 6 Confirmed to Be an $80 Game
Glad it wasn’t in the higher range. That would’ve sucked going forward.
Re: PS5 Shovelware Dev Confirms 'Stricter' Publishing Guidelines from Sony
Goodbye and good riddance.
Re: Capcom Showcase Confirmed for This Week, Onimusha and Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC in the Spotlight
Might watch it
Re: Wolverine PS5 Will Win Awards for These Outstanding Accessibility and Difficulty Options
Nice they have so many options!
Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles
Even if price wasn’t an issue, I’m in no rush for a PS6. PS5 still has plenty of life.
Re: Valve's New Steam Machine Costs Almost Twice as Much as a PS5
All that money and it's not even as good as a Pro...but still bet PC diehards will gobble it up.
Re: Sony May Mitigate Hardware Pricing Nightmare by Simply Selling Fewer PS5s
Obviously they would delay next gen if they were smart. I know this is the case for everyone, though.
Re: Uproar as Halo PS5 Demands 2 PS Plus Subscriptions for Local Co-Op
Is MS doing this to lower PS5 sales to justify making it exclusive going forward? I wouldn't put it past them. Nothing they do makes sense anymore!
Re: This Business Is Observing a Day Off for GTA 6 Launch, and It Won't Be the Only One
Not likely unless they decide to close us for the day.
Re: PS5's 'Recently Played' Section Restored as Sony Seemingly Fixes Strange Security Concern
@swiller Think it’s still working correctly on PS4, so hopefully it can be rectified on PS5 and the app. Question is…will they?
Re: Poll: How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?
Thinking $70-80
Re: PS5's 'Recently Played' Section Restored as Sony Seemingly Fixes Strange Security Concern
@Xodan Saw on Reddit some people talked to support (not just the AI bot) and said it was being looked into. Unsure if that’s true or just lip service, though.
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Pre-Orders Open on 25th June, Cover Art Revealed
Hopefully they allow preload on digital orders or there’s going to be chaos with the digital stores.
Re: Yakuza Creator's Gang of Dragon PS5 Game Really Does Seem Dead
That’s a damn shame
Re: Vampire Survivors Dev 'Reviewing' Fortnite Collaboration Due to Epic's Use of Generative AI
