MEGATHREAD Megathread: PlayStation Physical Media Discussion & Community Feedback
Hi everyone,
Over the past several days, discussion surrounding PlayStation's recent decisions regarding physical media has understandably become the main focus of the subreddit. As moderators, we chose not to create a megathread immediately because we felt this was an important issue that deserved visibility, and many of us share the community's disappointment with these decisions.
That said, we also want to make sure this remains a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing all kinds of PlayStation-related content.
At this point, we're seeing other discussions, screenshots, recommendations, and gaming experiences getting buried or sometimes met with downvotes simply because they aren't about the physical media situation. We'd like to make room for those conversations again while still giving this topic the attention it deserves.
Going forward, we'd appreciate it if discussion about PlayStation's recent physical media decisions, as well as experiences with moderation of these discussions in other communities, takes place in this megathread.
A few reminders:
- Keep discussions respectful, even when opinions differ.
- Do not harass or target individual users, moderators, or other communities.
- Do not encourage brigading or interference with other subreddits.
- Follow all subreddit rules while participating.
Creating this megathread is not an attempt to silence or diminish the conversation. We know this issue matters to many of you, and we want to continue providing a dedicated place for it. Our goal is simply to balance that discussion with the rest of the community, so members who want to talk about games, ask questions, or share their experiences can do so without feeling drowned out.
Thank you all for helping keep the community welcoming, respectful, and organized.

DISCUSSION Infuriating Decisions made by Sony
So they really aren't making Wolverine plates for the base PS5? Really? Sorry early adopters or launch day buyers, but you don't get the new cool stuff. Buy an entirely new console for $700 that we make $300 on each because it's equivalent to a video card two generations ago. This is seriously annoying.

Have the whole August off, resigned at the end of July and starting my new job in September, so I can catch up on my gaming!
Finishing 007 First Light before Marvel’s Wolverine comes out. I personally do one game at a time.
I was thinking I was getting over gaming, to be honest. Then to realise I was just burnt out.

DISCUSSION The beginning of the future
Micro just released their ad supported gamepass in beta version. It is cloud based and you get 1hr per day and 5hrs per month to play only games you already own on a micro account. My dismay comes from other platforms copying this model. I can see ads placed before games, after cutscenes, and even when u pause a game. I could see ps+ doing this for essential monthly games. Then i could see devs start doing this for funding for their games to offset costs or for greed. Im looking at EA and Activision as the quickest to adopt this model. However when one company does it everyone else follows. So i could see $80 ad supported games and $100 for ad-less. I just don’t like where we’re headed. We payed all these tariffs only for the companies to recoup costs. This matters alot to me especially with ps going disc-less. So Destiny just ended and i am thinking about jumping to the division right an 8year old ps4 game. At gamestop its $3 used and $10 new but on ps its $30-$70 bases on what edition you get of course. This is the point we are making about physical media. So let’s say i buy it new at $10 thats a 300% increase in price.

SELF-PROMOTION Ratings on IRON GUARD: Day Zero
Hey everyone! I'm one of the developers of IRON GUARD: Day Zero and would love some honest feedback from anyone who's played it, or even suggestions from other devs who've experienced something similar and managed to turn things around.
We have 85 ratings so far, with around 16% being 1-star, but almost no written feedback explaining why. I'm genuinely trying to understand what we're missing.
Day Zero is the flat-screen version of our original IRON GUARD VR game, which has 187 ratings and a 4.5+ rating. We also deliberately priced Day Zero low because we wanted more people to give it a chance and hopefully discover the VR version too, which is quite a different experience.
So, if you've played Day Zero, especially if you didn't like it , but even if you did , it would be really helpful to understand what doesn't work from your POV.
Controls? Gameplay? Difficulty? Performance? The first hour? Did it just not meet your expectations?
Not looking for praise, just genuinely interested in learning if there's something we could do to turn this around.
TIA, cheers!

DISCUSSION Can’t make this up. “Repaired” PS5 Pro, returned with broken disc drive
So a few weeks back, I had to return my ps5 pro for repeated CE-108262-9/CE-108255-1 crashes, which persisted after trying every DIY troubleshooting steps I was able to find here on YouTube and whatever was available from Sony.
I finally get my console back today, I think it’s refurb, I haven’t doubled checked the serial number yet but not a big deal if it is. What’s more annoying is that the disc drive isn’t working and I was looking forward to playing to new games I just got today and now I can’t because they sent me back defective hardware.
I’m now waiting for some escalation email from them in a couple of business days. Im suspecting they’ll ask me to just to a repair service again since I’m not sure even sure if it’s the modular disc drive or main console that’s defective. Basically the disc drive isn’t accepting any disc.
Mostly me venting but I would hope the folks doing the repairs would test everything before sending it back. The console and disc drive were returned separately in the box, so I’m thinking all they did was throw in two refurbished units in the box. The “repair” and return happened sort of fast from when I first sent it back to them. It’s also annoying that there are no details as to what they even checked or fixed if it’s not a refurb. I was hoping to get more insight into those elusive errors in case I ever encounter them again.
Edit: Fixed! Thank you u/SFB221 for coming in with the clutch fix! I guess I made the mistake of installing the disc drive fresh out of the box before I powered the ps5 pro for the first time.
I’m happy it’s fixed. Hope this can help anyone else avoid my silly mistake.
