Really wish i could easily find another new original PS5 model, i hope the one i have lasts decades. Been thinking about picking the disc drive for a future slim or even Pro model, but I was thinking they might make those obsolete someday.

At this point I wouldn't rule out them turning everyone's drive off remotely next week out of pure spite. Sony's C-suite is actually evil.

If they do brick it, that will help a bit more to open the eyes of the public. And I hope it won't go well with Europe's Parlement. On the other hand, that disc drive, the PS5/Pro, the PS4/Pro and many other consoles, are gonna have a wonderful time in the hacking community in the years to come 😘

Everything except the fat disc console is at risk of becoming the PSP Go. Though all the models already have planned obsolescence due to the soldered SSD. bsky.app/profile/bigo...

Sony already comfirmed that games released before 2028 would still get physical copies produced.

Don't forget to mention the soldered SSD! A major reason I skipped the PS5 and stuck with the PS4 Pro was because of that. I had hope that the PS6 would have a user-replaceable SSD and a disc drive, so I could play PS5 disc games that way, and that hope is completely gone.
