    Gee…

    And how many digital editions were sold to people who wished they could have gotten one with a disc drive?

    The numbers are in, Sony. Don’t sit there and say ‘Nobody wants to buy discs anymore.’ Almost everyone. Almost everyone wants to buy discs anymore.

    Sony would have more digital sales if they didn’t fuck with people’s libraries. The only way to be sure that you can still play some PS games is to have a physical copy.

    The PS5 is a great UHD Blu-Ray player. I see no reason why not get the disc version.

        Need to leave some features out intentionally, to add later to the PS6 as a selling point and incentivise customers to upgrade!

          More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.

          A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.

    There can be a pretty significant price discrepancy between digital and physical copies.

      Yeah, the digital price only goes down for sales, otherwise even years after release you’re paying full price. With discs you can buy from whatever store you want and usually prices go down a lot within a year (which you should wait anyway because games are too buggy at release).

        And you can usually snag a used copy for even less without losing out on anything. That’s the main reason why I would never get a digital only console. But also, I‘m primarily a PC gamer, so I’m tied to digital only but at least I‘m not bound to a single store.
