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.

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 Video Game Collection As of 1/14/2024

Posted on January 14, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

Ah… My video game collection. The first of any in the group and the passion that planted the seed to start it all. Video games and I go way back. In fact, this collection of mines that you are looking at, I have had them since the early 2000s. The oldest one being from the year 2001, and just seeing them sit comfy on my video game shelf gives me a lot of goosebumps. Like the previous collections, video games are an important passion of mine, and I still love collecting them. However, due to the rise of PC gaming and digital downloads like Steam, my collection has somewhat dwindled down, and a lot of unwanted circumstances have slashed half of what I use to own. It makes me really sad because of the games that I lost were masterpieces that have now been lost. Expensive price increases for both new games and retro games have caused harm to my collection. Nether the less, it’s my passion, and I am going forward. Soon, those games that I lost in the past, will be bought back alongside other new and retro games that I soon plan to collect once again. I’ll be making an article and a review about my video game collection soon!

My Video Game Console Collection

Posted on October 27, 2023 by Otaku_Kurai

Of all pictures that I have taken, this one is unfortunately the least best. The quality is not so good, and everything just feels off. Regardless, these are my consoles, and it saddens me to see how my collection has shrunk so much over the years, due to life span and economic issues. Nether the less, it makes me happy seeing my collection, and even more so that some of these consoles I own, I have had them for years, especially the Sony PlayStation and Wii. Also, please excuse the Wii’s extreme light, it loves to be light and shiny. Don’t mind the dust, either, despite the fact that I just dusted off everything only a few days ago. Consoles and dust goes together like water and oil, lol. Hopefully, I can collect some more consoles soon in the future.
