Send us Fan MailSony's decision to end physical PlayStation game releases in 2028 is sending shockwaves through the gaming industry—and retailers are beginning to fight back. Video Games Plus has published an open letter urging Xbox to make physical media part of Project Helix, giving Microsoft a rare opportunity to reverse the embarrassment of its 2013 Xbox One reveal and position itself as the console that still supports consumer choice.We also examine why European regulators say they cannot force Sony to continue manufacturing discs, how an all-digital PlayStation ecosystem could create new antitrust problems, and why eliminating physical games affects far more than collectors. Used-game pricing, lending, preservation, independent retailers and competition with the PlayStation Store could all disappear with the disc.Gaming Gone Wild features four unbelievable stories: a suspected burglar allegedly targeting two Santa Fe game stores, the tragic death of a Tennessee mother who traveled to meet someone connected through online gaming, a man arrested months after allegedly shooting his neighbor eight times following a stolen PlayStation 5 dispute, and 15 young people taken into custody after a social-media trend encouraged break-ins at Urban Air locations.Dude, I Got the Munchies includes Costco Mini Croissant Donuts, Blue Bell Chocolate Lava Cake Ice Cream, Dolly Parton Cookies 'N Custard desserts, the return of Ore-Ida Crispers, Pringles can-sized flavored hot dog buns and Reese's Pieces with a new chocolate-cookie center.Our Game of the Week is Ascend to ZERO, the fast-paced, time-bending action roguelike from Flyway Games and KRAFTON.

Jason and Rosie break down the 2026 Emmy noms, arguing this year's list skews unusually genre-heavy (The Pit, Pluribus, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and debate the Stranger Things shutout versus Widows Bay's earned surprise haul, plus a detour into whether Christopher Nolan is overrated as a director. Then: Sony's plan to end PlayStation physical media production by 2028, which they frame as an ownership problem — you're now paying full price for a revocable license, not a game you own. Finally, the Dune 3 trailer: Rosie argues it's leaning into Chani as an anti-Paul figure and turning Paul into someone the audience has to reckon with rather than root for, while she and Jason split on box office predictions ($700–800M vs. a real shot at $1B).

The big moment has finally happened: XBOX announced its huge restructure on Monday, laying off 1,600 employees effective immediately and another 1,600 throughout fiscal year 2027. They've also divested of four studios and already started the process to possibly do the same with Arkane Studios as well. Layoffs are happening all across their studios; IPs are going with the divested studios. XBOX CEO Asha Sharma even admitted that the XBOX business is not doing well, and that's part of this too. Sean and Marc discuss it all, and will this truly RESET XBOX? Also, PlayStation is not without its bad decisions this week, as they not only are closing the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita online store, but they announced that, as of 2028, there will be NO MORE Physical Disc games made. Essentially ripping a hole into the physical vs. digital debate once and for all. But will this decision actually stick?

Besides the lack of physical ownership, the real issue is digital vulnerability, removal of digital content already purchased, price discrimination, and the elimination of classical gaming communities. That, and also the availability of disc drives and discs at premium prices suddenly.

Come join Jeremy, Stephen, & Chase for this special episode of the Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast (Ep 227) as we discuss the news that Sony is ending physical media support for the PlayStation 5 & any future PlayStation systems as of January 1st, 2028. We talk about how we feel about the decision, the balance between physical & digital media, our thoughts on physical media to the medium of gaming & consumer rights, as well as our plans for purchasing future systems for the ones that decide to go digital only, & more. We discuss all of this as our main focus with this week's installment of "Let's Talk About It: Physical Media - Is It Still Important & What Comes Next?" We don't have a "Big Question" this week as the discussion was one that felt too big to have anything else involved, so we will return with a new one next week.

Episode #609: Jordan finally joined the latest handheld generation with a new ROG Xbox Ally X, and he's finding that the "third iteration" is where the magic happens. But as the boys dive into the convenience of the ecosystem, a darker reality hits: Sony is deleting hundreds of digital movies from user libraries, sparking a massive conversation on the "right to own" vs. "license to view."Between the tech talk, the crew gets into a legendary discussion over the ergonomics of the N64 controller—possibly the most contested piece of plastic in gaming history.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Riley are joined by Wes Fenlon of PC Gamer to discuss his new project: Warp Point, a web 1.0-style webring of video game blogs for the modern era. We discuss how the current internet is dying while a new one struggles to be born and whether or not newer generations will take to a format with which most millennials are intimately acquainted. Does that even matter, though, or is a fixation on numbers and scale one of the main reasons the modern internet turned out so rancid in the first place? Then we move on to the news of the week: Xbox layoffs haven't even happened yet, but they're already causing turmoil for companies like Hitman and 007 First Light maker IO Interactive, and—on the other side of our rapidly escalating industry collapse—Sony announced that it's phasing out physical discs entirely, a quake that will surely be followed by countless ripples. To cheer ourselves up, we invent the ultimate video game controller, which doubles as the world's most complicated guitar.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Riley MacLeod, and special guest Wes Fenlon- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Is a return to analog the way to a better future?While vinyls, DVDs, and CDs might be considered ‘vintage' to some, for others it's a way to fight against subscription fatigue. Price hikes, licensing battles, and storage issues can make music, films, TV shows - and even your own photos - inaccessible.  And sometimes without warning, your comfort watch might just vanish from all streaming platforms.So what does agency look like for the modern consumer? And how has the expectation -- that you own what you pay for -- shifted so dramatically?To answer that question, digital archivist K.D.
