## Resource

It's the end of physical media as we know it!... Well, for Playstation, at least. Sony have announced they're going all digital at the start of 2027 and we have a LOT of thoughts about it! PLUS Tommy's had a hands-on preview of Splatoon Raiders, Ben's tried out the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and we've both been bopping along to Rhythm Heaven Groove!  Hosted on Acast.
