Is this the END of physical gaming? Sony recently announced that they will be ending the production of physical games in 2028. How did we get here and what is the real reason it's happening NOW?

In the wake of Sony saying physical games are DOA our hosts wonder if this is really that bad of a thing.Is this just the future of gaming and are we actually losing anything? Are you just the old man yelling at clouds (that are full of your game's download info) when you mourn that little box with an actual game inside of it? And what about Gamestop? Won't someone think of poor old Gamestop?! I can't trade in gigabytes, goddamnit! Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

X: https://x.com/TK0Asante YT: https://youtu.be/y5SRL7kO--E?si=4f6DyPxXtOwMMeXg  ---------------------------- On this week's episode of The Trophy Room, we're breaking down everything revealed during Marvel's Wolverine's massive Comic-Con showcase, including the brand-new story trailer, gameplay details, combat, villains, and why this could be Insomniac's most ambitious PlayStation exclusive yet. We also discuss what Halo Campaign Evolved's arrival on PlayStation could mean for the future of the franchise after Xbox's latest comments on exclusivity. Is this just the beginning of Halo on PlayStation? Plus, we dive into Sony's ongoing physical media controversy as new sales data fuels the debate, Ryan Hurst's departure from Amazon's God of War series after an on-set injury, the latest PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium additions, and much more.

On this week's show we look into our crystal ball to see what is on the Home Theater Horizon. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: 2026 Value Electronics TV Shootout: Samsung Snaps Sony TV Streak CarPlay video coming with iOS 27 WGA Seeks Injunction to Block Deal's Closing What is on the Home Theater Horizon Home theater technology is advancing quickly and the trend is moving toward wireless setups, brighter and more flexible displays, AI-powered calibration, immersive spatial audio, and simpler high-end installations. Today we take a look at what we can expect over the next couple of years. Displays: Brighter, Wireless, and Modular Ultra-thin wireless OLEDs: LG's OLED evo W6, also called the Wallpaper TV, is part of their 2026 evo lineup. It's incredibly thin — just 9 millimeters thick — and features a true wireless design. All your devices plug into a separate Zero Connect Box that can sit up to 10 meters away. The box then sends 4K video and audio wirelessly to the TV with almost no quality loss. The TV also includes Hyper Radiant Color Technology. This delivers much higher brightness — up to 3.9 times brighter than standard OLEDs — along with deeper black levels and fewer reflections. For gamers, it supports 4K at 165 Hertz, G-SYNC, and very fast response times. MicroLED and RGB advancements: MicroLED displays — including variants like Micro RGB or TriChroma — are becoming popular for luxury home theater setups. They deliver perfect blacks like OLED screens, but with much higher brightness, no burn-in risk, and modular designs that let you create custom sizes, such as 136-inch or even larger cinema walls. Brands like LG with their MAGNIT Active Micro LED, Samsung, and Sony are leading the way, offering seamless, cinema-certified picture quality. Consumer versions are still quite expensive — often six figures for a full wall — but they're becoming more realistic and affordable over time. Mini RGB: These TVs are poised to be a big hit because they combine the best of both worlds: the perfect blacks and contrast of OLED with the extreme brightness, longevity, and modular flexibility of MicroLED-style RGB technology. By using advanced Mini RGB LED backlighting, Mini RGB delivers stunning HDR performance, vibrant colors, and seamless large-screen designs ideal for luxury home theaters — all without burn-in worries. Sony's reputation for premium picture processing, cinema-grade calibration, and build quality gives their Mini RGB  a clear edge over competitors, making these TVs the top choice for serious enthusiasts who want theater-like visuals that will stay impressive for years to come. Projectors: Triple-laser UST (ultra-short-throw) and standard models dominate, with brighter outputs (thousands of ISO lumens), wider color gamuts (e.g., 110% BT.2026), Dolby Vision support, and 4K/8K capabilities. Examples include XGIMI Horizon 20 Max, AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, and Hisense models. Laser is now the baseline for premium performance. Audio: Wireless Immersion and Modular Systems Wireless multi-speaker ecosystems: Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is rolling out more widely including the LG Sound Suite. This enables cable-free speaker placement with accurate panning. Sony's BRAVIA Theatre lineup (Trio, Bar 7/9, etc.) emphasizes modular wireless components with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, phantom speakers (up to 24 channels), and room calibration. Advanced AVRs and processors: Denon, Onkyo, and others offer higher-channel support (9.4+), Dirac Live/Audyssey calibration, and AI room tuning. Multi-channel processors use Audio over IP for fewer wires in custom installs. Immersive extras: Haptic furniture, synchronized smart lighting using the  Philips HDMI Sync Box 2.1, and AI acoustic optimization for real-time adjustments. Other Notable Trends AI integration: Automatic calibration, content optimization, and adaptive environments including  room mapping for sound and light.. Hybrid/immersive rooms: 360-degree or wraparound video with spatial audio, plus premium formats inspired by commercial cinema (laser projection, higher baselines like 7.1+ with height channels). Lifestyle focus: Movable displays, aesthetically integrated speakers, mainly acoustically transparent designs, and easier setups for non-dedicated rooms. There are some exciting technologies shaping the next couple of years in home theater. Displays are getting brighter, thinner, and more flexible with ultra-thin wireless designs. High-performance UST laser projectors will bring huge screens to rooms where it was never possible before. And the shift toward truly wireless, immersive audio will fill any room with rich, room-filling sound. Best of all, your entire system will adapt to your room with the touch of a button!

I had a chance to play through Halo Campaign Evolved ahead of launch on the PS5 and today I'm joined by a couple of others to discuss our thoughts on the game.

This week, Tom Segura holds down the Mommy Dome with Steph Tolev, host of Steph Infection, produced right here at YMH Studios, and the proud owner of a brand new American citizenship. They open with a man being lowered off a New York City bus screaming "fuck your family," which spirals into roid-rage belchers on airplanes and a "NOT GUILTY!" TikTok attorney whose very satisfied client was charged with luring a minor into his vehicle. Then a listener letter from a self-described 30-year slut recounts the guys' card night that went airtight, and Tom and Steph break down the hygiene logistics nobody at that poker table considered. From there, Tom explains how a chance run-in with his old helicopter instructor ended his flying lessons for good, and Steph talks about her white fuzzy dog, and her daily walking schedule. Along the way they get into Pastor Manning's problem with blacks, a Thailand massage confession, plus Tom and Steph's combined résumé of ugly castings: Steph booking Skittles' "Ugly Princess," not fitting into the Spanx at a Bud Light fitting, and Tom's thumbs landing a Sony commercial. Plus: a homeless man shoots his shot, a man with a solid wall of 45 identical teeth, Steph's fiancé Jefferson shits the couch, the Tickle Monster nearly gets an old man killed, and Bulgaria fails to qualify for the World Cup.

Netflix animation is having another monster year, with Nathan Greno's body-swap comedy “Swapped” racing up the platform's all-time rankings behind “KPop Demon Hunters.” Jim Hill and Drew Taylor also examine Disney's uncertain live-action remake strategy, the return of “Hotel Transylvania” and a new theatrical Looney Tunes short. Plus, Drew shares highlights from his conversation with Greno about the making of Netflix's latest animated hit. HIGHLIGHTS • “The Odyssey” dominates the worldwide box office while Disney's live-action “Moana” suffers a steep second-weekend decline. • Disney moves ahead with “Tangled” and a possible continuation of “The Princess and the Frog” despite uneven remake results. • “Toy Story 5” approaches the billion-dollar mark as “Minions & Monsters” falls short of franchise expectations. • Sony and Amazon MGM prepare “The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania” for a theatrical release in 2027. • Disney Junior tests a YouTube-first launch strategy with the new animated preschool series “Ozzy Fox.” • Director Nathan Greno discusses the creation and unexpected streaming success of “Swapped.” • “Daffy Season” brings the Looney Tunes back to theaters with a modern spin on the classic rabbit-season-versus-duck-season routine. • Titmouse joins Meow Wolf's upcoming Los Angeles exhibition as an animation and creative-design partner.

A new report from a trusted gaming industry analyst projects PlayStation 6 to launch in 2028 and sell only four million units in its first calendar year on the market. When you consider that even PS3 managed to sell three and a half million units in a mere four months, well, it might be a tough row to hoe. And when you take into account that this analysis assumes PS6 will sell for between $600 and $800, Sony may be in for a rude awakening indeed. We discuss. Then again, other analysis paints a far rosier picture, at least as far as Grand Theft Auto VI pre-sales are concerned, where Sony will be raking it in by the many hundreds of millions in royalties alone. Other news this week includes EA's reversal on its controversial College Football 27 microtransactions, the dominance of Call of Duty: Black Ops I and II's PSN release, the delay of the upcoming first party fight stick FlexStrike, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation in dire need of a spokesperson? Does Crunchyroll's new approach with its subscription portend a dicey future for PSN? Have we ever lent a physical game to a friend (or someone else) and never received it back? Could Episode 420 mean throwing all caution to the wind?

From new finds to ongoing playthroughs, the duo breaks down what's been keeping their controllers busy. The news segment kicks off with Microsoft's latest legal setback as the company lost a lawsuit in a Brazilian court, raising questions about regional regulation and platform responsibility. They then shift to Steam's refund policies for games under the one‑hour return limit, highlighting a recent developer's experience that sparked debate about fairness, abuse, and consumer protection. Next, the conversation moves to Japan, where scalpers purchased One Piece magazines en masse due to a promotional card — another example of collectible culture colliding with opportunistic reselling. The guys then explore a big speculative question: Is the PS6 going digital‑only because it will be a handheld? They break down rumors, hardware trends, and whether Sony's future might lean toward a hybrid device. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Popcorn Rocket on PS4, as John and Ryan evaluate the quirky title's gameplay, charm, and current market value.

Zeke is out with the in-laws this week so the rare emergency TWO man stream has been called as JP and Cohh have quite a lot to talk about! Bethesda releases an awkward letter to the community about the future of their game franchises. The director for Marathon leaves Bungie, Sony can't escape the negative reaction to dropping physical media, and a discussion on moving to a more sponsorship focused stream.

Nothing else. 7:31 PM@eathdemon​​also I cant say shit since all my games are on steam, so digital lol 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​[message retracted] 7:33 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its the by-product of the gaming industry cancer that fortnite popularized 7:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​we like show and tell 7:38 PM@eathdemon​​casting your mind back in to the abyss :) 7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​crab rav 7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Sony dominated the PS1 and PS2 eras and that lead to the PS3, and while they did rebound, it wasn't as successful. Xbox shot themselves in the foot with the Xbox One reveal and never really recovered. 7:41 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Which lead to Sony dominating the PS4 and PS5 eras and had lead to their arrogance now. 7:42 PM@eathdemon​​thanks for making me feel old lol 7:42 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The game was Genji 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The first Genji was on PS2 and was quite good. 7:47 PM@eathdemon​​the ps2 and 360 era was heavily contract based 7:48 PM@addictedtochaos2​​If you mean Mr. Caffeine it was the Ubisoft presentation. 7:50 PM@AndrewEisen​​Sorry folks. The stream is just disconnecting and reconnecting. I'll give it a few minutes and see if it stops. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I can see you moving 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​But no sound 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Now I can hear you. 7:53 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The Wii U wasn't arrogance, it was more just Nintendo misread the market. 7:57 PM@AndrewEisen​​And here we go again with the damn disconnects. 7:58 PM@eathdemon​​I mean it could be restream getting slammed b/c its the weekend 7:58 PM@jaredknisely6213​​just a thought have you tried obs? 7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm using OBS. I'm just using restream so that I can stream to both YouTube and Twitch on Sundays. Maybe I need to stream the Sunday night podcast directly to YouTube. 7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​Saturday night podcast, I mean. 8:00 PM@eathdemon​​I think its possable its just high ussage on restreams end 8:01 PM@AndrewEisen​​It doesn't appear to be my connection so that appears most likely. I've been using Restream for years and only had this problem in the last couple months. 8:02 PM@AndrewEisen​​Okay, well. Long story short. That anime is one joke over and over but I kept laughing at it. I don't know how it's going to maintain an entire series but I guess we'll see. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​from the internet reading i see its a restream thing 8:03 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm ending the podcast. Hope to see you all tomorrow for Cold Steel III. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​would take more than a few mins of reading to see the main issue

This week's episode of The MacRumors Show looks ahead to the 20th anniversary iPhone, the radically redesigned model that Apple is expected to launch in 2027.0:00 Introduction1:51 What Will Apple Call the 20th Anniversary iPhone?5:03 Is It Time to Abandon iPhone Numbers?7:29 Sponsor: Shopify8:44 The Biggest iPhone Redesign Since iPhone X14:07 Under-Display Technology and the End of Dynamic Island18:22 Haptic Buttons and Apple's All-Glass Vision22:03 Apple's Custom Camera Sensor24:34 The Ideal iPhone and the Future of Foldables29:20 Battery Life, Denser Batteries, and Reverse Charging36:02 Why Apple's Charging Ecosystem Needs an Overhaul38:14 Apple Needs to Reinvigorate Its AccessoriesApple's plans for the device's name remain unclear. The company skipped "iPhone 9" and moved straight to the iPhone X for the handset's 10th anniversary in 2017, and it is widely expected to skip "iPhone 19" in the same way. Rumors have referred to the 2027 models as both the "iPhone 20" and the "iPhone XX" as placeholder names, and it is still possible that they will sit above the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max as a separate, higher-tier directly, even though they are more likely to replace them as usual. Apple has reset iPhone branding before with the iPhone Air, whose successor is expected to be the iPhone Air 2.The 2027 iPhone is rumored to be the biggest redesign since the iPhone X. Apple is reportedly aiming for a near bezel-less design with curved glass that wraps around all four edges and a return to a glass back, in line with the single slab of glass that former design chief Jony Ive long described as a goal. The frame is said to be a thin polished band, potentially in a material other than the aluminum used on Apple's straight-edged models, with the display curving onto the sides rather than following one consistent curve.Displays that curve down the sides can be prone to accidental touches, an issue seen on earlier Android handsets with waterfall edges, though Apple is expected to engineer the device to work with a case. The extent of the curvature, and how far the display appears to refract at the edges, is not yet clear.Apple reportedly wants a front with no cutouts, but some of the under-display technology is unlikely to be ready in time, meaning some form of front-facing cutout is expected to persist. Current reporting points to a gradually shrinking Dynamic Island, Face ID components moving beneath the panel, and an under-display camera arriving last, since image quality still degrades when a lens sits behind the display.Apple is also rumored to be revisiting solid-state haptic buttons, reviving the "Project Bongo"effort that reached prototype hardware years ago before being shelved. Reports have cited several potential motivations, including a cleaner frame with no moving parts, a reduction in the mechanical button failures that account for many AppleCare repairs, and additional internal space for a larger battery or additional haptic engine.Apple is reported to be developing a custom image sensor that would replace the Sony sensors currently used across the iPhone lineup, following the company's move to bring its silicon, modem, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chips in-house. The rear camera plateau is likely to remain, owing to the space required by the folded optics used for the telephoto lens.The anniversary models are expected to share a second-generation 2-nanometer A21 chip, along with efficiency gains and a newer Apple modem. A 6,000mAh battery has appeared in some rumors, though it is unclear whether that figure is based on supply chain information.Reverse wireless charging appeared in the same report and would let the iPhone top up accessories such as AirPods or an Apple Watch. The underlying hardware is already present, since iPhones can charge a MagSafe battery pack through their wireless coil, but Apple has never enabled the capability for other devices, a feature Samsung has offered on its phones for several years. Its viability on the anniversary model may depend on the larger battery and efficiency gains rumored for the device, given how much charge reverse wireless charging draws from the handset itself.This year's ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models are rumored to be a more modest update, with the larger redesign reserved for the 20th anniversary model. It is expected to arrive in the fall of 2027, following the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and ‌iPhone Air‌ 2 in the spring.

Czabe is joined by PAUL CHARCHIAN who had a nightmare airline delay story for the ages, and a harshly critical review of a supposedly good cheesesteak joint in the City of Brotherly Love. People now want to go places to get out of the digital hellscape. Ticket prices are responding accordingly. Sony getting rid of physical video game media. The Odyssey is going to be awesome, with two big exceptions. The "other" Air & Space Museum at Dulles is even better than the one downtown. British Open week, and Czabe explains why he wasn't sad that Tom Watson choked one away at Turnberry.

With Sony's recent announcement that it will end the production of physical media for video games after January 2028, discussion has ramped up about consumer rights to own their games, game preservation, and how markets and pricing will be affected. Today we are joined by Del Walker, an AAA game developer who has worked for Naughty Dog, Sega, and Rocksteady, to discuss what this means for both players and developers, and what we need to do to ensure our culture and rights are protected.

We're more than a week removed from the controversial decision to scrap new physical releases for PlayStation hardware beginning in early 2028, and even with a robust outpouring of rage from a portion of its hardcore audience, Sony doesn't seem like it's going to budge. This has come to surprise some people; yet, the longer Sony continues its silence on the topic, the more unlikely it'll be that anything will change. Will the Japanese megacorporation's wait-and-see approach pay off? Is there still time to turn the ship around? Are physical buyers vastly overestimating their power and positioning? There's much more to discuss surrounding the worst period of PR for the PlayStation brand since 2011. Other news this week includes furor over language in the European PSN's terms of service, drama surrounding Marvel Tokon's release on Steam, significant layoffs at Xbox that deeply affect PlayStation-aligned developers like id and Obsidian, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is it weird that Sony executives sold more than $10 million in stock after their infamous physical games announcement? What's going on with EA's insane monetization policies in College Football 27? Why couldn't Bluepoint spin-out from Sony like Microsoft is allowing some of its teams to do? Does Dustin have similarly arcane powers as Brad, just pointed in the opposite direction?
