Sony's Disc Shutdown Could Wipe Out $7.2B Used-Game Market

Sony plans to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs by January 2028, a move analysts say could annihilate the $7.2 billion global used‑game market (covering pre‑owned games, hardware and accessories). The market is projected to grow to about $13.8 billion by 2034, with North America and Europe as major regions; the shift toward digital could hit brick‑and‑mortar retailers, while existing discs remain playable and the PS6 may be disc‑less, signaling a broader move to digital gaming.

GTA 6’s physical edition comes with a download code instead of a disc, reflecting a broader shift toward disc-less packaging. Analysts say this boosts digital pre-orders, eliminates the used/rental market that undercuts publishers, gives Rockstar price-control over the market, and reduces leak risks, while freeing development time from disc production—but it could disappoint collectors who prefer physical media.

Despite its popularity, Marketplace faces challenges with scams and isn't a major revenue driver for Meta, but it enhances user engagement and ad targeting.

Beware of Fake Samsung SSDs When Upgrading Your PC or PS5

Fake Samsung 980 Pro SSDs have been found in the second-hand market, with knockoffs infiltrating the market due to the immense popularity of the SSD. The fake drives are so good that they even fooled Samsung Magician software, which is used to manage users' SSD. Consumers should be aware of the risk of buying counterfeit computer hardware in the second-hand market and only buy from trusted sources with good customer reviews. The performance numbers of the fake drives are off, making it a clear giveaway that the user is not working with an original.

The fake drives use different components, resulting in significantly lower performance than the original. Buyers should exercise caution when purchasing computer hardware on the second-hand market, especially in China, where malicious merchants are ready to exploit less-knowledgeable consumers.
