PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For

Sony says Mythbusters and more Discovery TV shows are going away whether you bought them or not

This isn’t the first time Sony has done something like this and it won’t be the last. I’d say just buy your favorite shows on Bluray instead, but Sony and Microsoft also appear to be planning to slowly phase out optical disc drives in the future. Even the new PS5 slim’s detachable disc drive will require an online DRM check every time you plug it in. Fortunately, generic Blu-ray players are cheaper than never. Unfortunately, they don’t really print discs of Pregnant Behind Bars Season 1 anymore.

You can thank streaming and industry consolidation for bullshyt like this.

It's a licensing issue. Nothing to be done about it. Probably not a good idea to buy digital content from third parties instead of direct from the owner of the content IMO.

This is just for streaming right?

They can’t go into your hard drive and delete stuff.

You don’t “own” anything if you are just paying for the privledge to stream the content.

It sucks but i wouldn’t recommend “buying” anything that’s held on a server elsewhere. You are at the mercy of whatever the host company does.

Hell one day sony can decide they are out of the tv/movie streaming business altogether, then you wouldn’t be able to access anything you purchased.
