Sony Cutting Back On Blu-Ray? And More Classic Games Resurface Online | News Wave

REMEMBER, GOG is also having a summer sale. It has some of the same games, without the DRM.

Thank you so much for meeting with us at TooManyGames. I can’t believe you all waited outside in the scorching heat just to meet your followers. Just goes to show what type of stand up people the SpawnCast are!

These corporations should stop saying they lost billions just because they didn't make as many billions as last year. It's still billions in profit.

Sony can't even emulate PS2 games correctly on the PS5, what makes anyone think their PS3 emulation will be worth something..?

I used to burn a lot of blurays. But I also used to be a videographer so a lot of what I was doing was put on DVD for cheap and Bluray for a premium. I don't really do that stuff much anymore but my brother does stuff like that all the time and I'll tell you if you ever ask someone to make a wedding video for you, you want it on Bluray. It really makes a difference.

The moment Nintendo lets go of Physical is the day I will scaledown on modern gaming and go back retro.

Man those Transformers games were so cool. I still remember the muliplayer and Megatron yelling through my TV when a match started 😅

I use blank DVD and Blu-ray discs to make physical copies of my digital movies. This procedure allows me to free up disc space.

It was so awesome to meet you, RGT, Josie, and Mystic Ryan at TooManyGames! I’ve been watching your videos and podcasts for a while now and it was surreal to finally get to talk to all of you in-person! You guys rock; thank you for all you do!

i hope they can bring back Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron into a Transformers collection. And physical too with all DLC and additional content!!!

They already had a 3DS version of Luigi's Mansion 1... I don't understand why they couldn't just give us Luigi's Mansion 1&2 HD... I actually would've bought that.

Since I use GOG I did burn some offline installers, but some games I will need bluray for, and yes I do have a bluray drive in my computer as I bought the fractal POP Air cause it has two 5.25" bays which fits my BR Drive and memory card dock.

My backlog of games could get me through many years of an apocalypse if I so happened to have bunker with a tv, my PS5 and electricity. But no internet would mean I could not download any games. It would be like the old Twilight Zone episode where the guy has all the time in the world to read books after a nuclear attack but then he breaks his reading glasses.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a single modern PC case that had a CD/DVD drive when I built my PC. Games on PC don't have any physical copies either. I didn't make the choice to buy only digital on PC. That "choice" was made for me; much to my chagrin.

I'm one of the few blu ray burners. I had a vision in mind. I burned all the DBZ episodes and movies with the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack on them onto 4 disks. That shit would've been hundreds of dollars to buy in legit disks and crunchyroll doesn't stream DBZ with that audio

I burn data discs quite frequently (in fact I just did some last week). I use Verbatim discs, so hopefully this won't affect me going forward.

None of my actual computers have disc drives anymore but i have a couple external disc drives that i honestly still use fairly frequently. I just find the external more convenient since i can move it between computers so easily.

I bought Fall of Cybertron on Steam before it was delisted and so I still have access to it, but I regret not also getting War for Cybertron, too. And it would be really nice to have the online reenabled, so I hope they do come back.

The news about Sony stopping production of blu-rays was a little weird for me when I first saw it, but the clarification of it being focused on rewritable media and movies makes sense. Maybe it's because I'm from Brazil and Blu-ray movies are super expensive over here, but I never saw anyone who had a dedicated BD player at home, and even in electronics stores I'd barely see them for sale, with most stores having just one model for sale, if they even had any. Hell, I didn't even know rewritable BD were a thing!
