A week-long protest by PlayStation gamers, who organized a boycott from August 23-30 urging users to switch off their PS5 consoles, reportedly failed to achieve its desired results, as no significant change was observed by September 18. This protest responded to Sony's decision to stop making physical game discs from 2028 onwards. Also on September 18, Sony India introduced its first fisheye zoom G Lens, the FE 8-14mm F3.5, designed for full-frame Alpha E-mount cameras, offering an 8 mm to 14 mm zoom range. Earlier the same day, Sony announced two new G Master super telephoto prime lenses for the Alpha full-frame E-mount system: the FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS, which it stated are the lightest in their respective categories. Previously, on September 17, Sony Pictures Television Chairman and CEO of Global Television and Pictures Keith Le Goy discussed the success potential of "Live TV on PS5." The service, launched last month, offers over 100 free ad-supported video channels via the PlayStation 5 console, aiming to deliver Sony TV intellectual property and associated advertisements to a large and engaged audience.
