PlayStation Draws 275,000-Petition Backlash as X Notes Hammer 2028 Disc Production End

Summary
X users are attaching Community Notes to PlayStation posts, turning routine marketing updates into flashpoints over Sony’s plan to stop producing console game discs from January 2028.
Thousands of comments now crowd recent posts, with notes warning that digital purchases may not last and arguing the move could tighten Sony’s control over its closed PlayStation Store ecosystem.
The backlash has spread beyond X: the “Don’t kill the disc” petition has reached about 275,000 signatures, while retailer GAME España publicly pledged support for collectors and physical-media buyers.
Sony has not officially responded, leaving the dispute to widen around resale rights, ownership concerns and whether PlayStation’s digital-only future limits consumer choice.
