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.

This week on the Zenspath Entertainment Network (Ep 225) Jeremy, Stephen, & Chase talk about how Xbox & PlayStation have squandered the hype around some amazing presentations last week, Nintendo deals with a hack that leads to basically nothing, AdHoc is still trying to distract from their censorship mess around "Dispatch", Epic pushes AI for Unreal 6 & Lumen for Unreal 5.8, & more!

Our "Big Question" for this week is "With companies seemingly imploding from buying up & shutting down studios, moving to AI to replace most artists for "efficiency", & a drive towards incomplete or a lack of physical releases…how do you feel this will change the gaming landscape for you & your purchased & playing habits over the next 10 years through what you feel the next generation may end up being like?"
