I am unsure how to feel about the end of physical media. Getting less plastic crap produced is great, but we are decades behind on laws regarding true ownership of digital media.

Physical media should only die after the concept of licensing instead of purchasing is already dead.

it's not like physical media these days has any reason to be actual discs, just use SD cards or USB drives..

Yeah I doubt Sony is doing this to reduce waste.

For sure. Doesn't change the effect though.
