Sony Just Killed Physical Disc Production For Future PlayStation Games

Posted on July 1, 2026 by Otaku_Kurai

In one of the most disappointing and horrific acts by a video company, the best-selling platform brand will make sure that, “you will own nothing and be happy”.

When the PlayStation 5 was released back in the fall of 2020, aka, during the madness of when the COVID-19 pandemic was running rampant and political discourse entered into free fall never seen before in American history, I told myself that I had plans to buy a PS5, and, eventually I believe I would. As the years went by, I kept telling myself the same thing that eventually I’ll buy myself a PS5, but, somehow, as my life went on, I never did. Jump to six years later, the same narrative was applied to me all the time, but I was never able to figure out why I haven’t bought myself a PS5 yet? I know it’s not money issue, because here I am completely okay with spending $300-$400 on cosplay and buying $100 tickets to attend big name anime conventions. Maybe I thought that priority for other stuff from my same passion was more important for me? Maybe it’s because as a working adult, I don’t really have free time to invest on a console that forks a lot of money and keeps getting more expensive each year? Could it be that it’s library of games didn’t convince me to buy a PS5? Maybe it’s because switching to PC Gaming four years ago made my gaming experience just- (CALM DOWN FANBOYS IT’S JUST A JOKE RIGHT?)

… Maybe?

I came up with so many theories on why I haven’t bought myself a PlayStation 5 just yet? However, today, July 1, 2026, I finally realized why I haven’t bought one, and, the move pulled by Sony only enforces it. What am I talking about? Well, here’s what Sony has done that will probably enrage you, but at the end, nothing will be done about it.

My 4 Newly Purchased Haul of Hot Wheels Cars 11/16/2024

Posted on November 16, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

Want to know a shocking revaluation that I’m about to tell you? The last time I bought new hot wheels cars for my collection, was…

Gurren Lagann Aired
Clannad Aired
Lucky Star Aired
Super Mario Galaxy came out
The Orange Box was released
Halo 3 was released
George W. Bush was in his 7th year in office
Chad Warden and Chocolate Rain were internet sensations
The Red Sox won The World Series for the second time this century
The Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, DS, and PSP were the current systems
Apple released the smartphone
AMVs users used Linkin Park and V for Vendetta

Yep… That’s how long it’s been since I bought new hot wheels cars… In fact, that was 17 years ago. That year was none other than 2007. That was the last year I ever got myself new hot wheels cars. It was also the last year that I was ever interested in buying new hot wheels cars. Since then, my interest for hot wheels remained basically limbo for more than 13 years between 2008-2022. In 2023, that changed officially. I expanded my otaku lifestyle to further heights. Hot Wheels is certainly one of these new interests. Just seeing those new Hot Wheels cars of mine gives me such a warm and nostalgic feeling. It feels like as if I was 9–10 years old again. I can’t wait to open them. I’ll add them to my collection. Soon, I will give a review on them! So for now, stay tuned!

Re-uploaded Photos of My Recent Video Game Console Collection As of 2/14/2024

Posted on February 14, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

To my fellow otaku gamers, I have been away for a bit due to the busy, but tremendous start to this year as well. Do you remember the previous photo that I uploaded that showed my console collection? Truth be told, I was pretty unsatisfied with the way they looked, and how i took the photos. Dust was everywhere, the quality was off-putting, taken at the wrong time, and I definitely didn’t enjoy the position they were in. So, I decided to retake the photos again. Since I had to clean house and clean up the areas where my consoles since they take up the most dust, I decided to retake them at the right time. So far, they are in a much better position, and the photos look a lot better. Not only did I make them easier to access and play, but I also put them in a much safer position. While, at the same time, making them look tidier and without to go through the hassle of having consoles and controllers everywhere.

Similar to what I said before with my old photos, these consoles mean a lot to me. In fact, I have three more that are unused, 1 because of no games, and the other two because, unfortunately, they are broken and unusable. Aside from that, it’s hard to believe that I have had these consoles for years. Almost all of them are 10 years, except the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Honestly, I feel emotional when looking at them. Sadly, I used to have a lot of them in the past, but some disappeared due to system failure, or unknown memories. It’s my sworn quest to recollecting all of them, and also brand-new ones as well that I have never played. Aside from that, I cherish these consoles, and I hope to expand their library soon. Here is how old they are when I bought them.

Wii: 15 Years Old (2009)

PS1: 21 Years Old (2003)

3DS: 11 Years Old (2013)

Wii U: 10 Years Old (2014)

PS4: 8 Years Old (2016)

Switch: 7 Years Old (2017)

Hopefully, I can get more of them soon, and also get a PS5 and Xbox Series X soon.

My Recent Anime DVD/Blu-ray + VHS Collection As of 11/14/2024

Posted on January 14, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

My fellow otakus. Sadly, this is the most recent anime DVD/Blu-ray collection that I have. Despite the fact that I have been doing this for eight years. Do you want to know why? Because, unlike manga books which are easy to collect in large chunks thanks to their price and being in stores in nearly every retailer, anime DVDs are rarely anywhere in retail stores. Unless it’s the big ones and retailers that are specifically catered to entertainment, which you are BOUND to see anime DVDs. Even with the anime being available, the prices for most anime DVDs and Blu-rays, are priced ridiculously expensive, and most of the new anime being released, both old and new, are expensive as heck. Also, since I watch most of my anime online through streams like Crunchyroll, that’s another of the reasons why my Anime DVD/Blu-ray collection is low when compared to manga and video games. Nether the less, I do plan to buy more anime DVDs/Blu-rays in the future, and I sincerely hope that I buy a new chunk load of anime DVDs/Blu-rays that are brand new and never watched just yet. Both new, and old school. Yes, that even means VHS copies and whatever there is. It’s nice to have the full collection, with box sets, rare collections, the latest, and most beautiful looking Blu-ray, some old anime DVD set from the 2000s, and just a lot of more. Overall, I truly can’t wait to start the collection.

My favorite is no doubly, Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball Z, Ghibli films, Gkids movies, and my first ever Pokémon VHS copy.
