Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Its nice to see the downvotes. I never liked reddit for that, but at least in this instance it affirms my postion. Most people are stupid. Most people are downvoting me. Everything is aligned in the universe.
Think about what I wrote, Sony owns that machine. Your fun little piece of plastic means nothing.
I think for modern machines they easily could put out a software update and brick your discs, I definitely agree with that, but it has the data still on the disc, you own that and I'm sure some tech wizards could extract that and emulate it somehow.
As for older machines that don't even connect to the internet, your comment is blatantly wrong. So I think there's a bit of multifaceted issues being discussed.
You dont own the data on the discs. It has been very clear that is not the case. Much like you don't own the story even if you own a book.
Older machines are not whats being talked about or sold now days. That was a long time ago. Ps2 started the online digital market for Sony.
Sony sold ps3 with the ability to run Linux and you got the discs. Became useless in fairly short order when they updated the machine.
Newer games are released that force upgrades of the hardware software and can break the older discs requiring that software to be updated.
When you say some trickery to hack or emulate the disk, why bother caring that you have a disc at all? You have the game on the hard drive and if that's the plan you don't need the plastic anyways.
