Physical Collection PS5 Bricked

@DoesItPlay1 I’ve just tested this. You cannot pair a disc drive to a PS5 if PSN is down. Given that my collection is physical, my PS5 Pro is effectively bricked until PSN is up again. Disc Drive WS-116449-5 Can’t use your disc drive. Something went wrong when registering your disc drive to your PS5. Select [Try Again] to try registering your disc drive again. If the problem persists, wait for a while; and then restart your PS5. Try Again OK

A screenshot of a social media post shows a television displaying a PS5 Disc Drive registration error while a PS5 and physical game collection sit below it. The joke is that owning games on physical discs does not help when the console requires PSN to pair the disc drive, leaving the PS5 Pro effectively unusable during an outage. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to digital-rights management and online dependency.
