Digital all the way. Bought every title in a sale and no seller's remorse in the future. Plus I play my games more than once.
Fuck no. Getting locked into those retarded prices? No thanks.

Physical copies on PC sadly became irrelevant, because you now usually get a Steam key in the box. On the console you still are the owner of the game and you can resell it without issues.Haven't had a disc drive on my PC since 2010, so why should a console be any different.
DE is value for specific use cases. If I wasn't using the game sharing across primary/secondary accounts then the disc edition becomes the more sustainable for me. Even at £70 release, because I split the costs brand new games are effectively £35 for me anyway
So what you're saying is that...I think a lot of people complaining here about "OMG 70$ PRICING HELL NO" dont know that game sharing exists or haven't tried it themselves.
Guys, just check the PSN Store and halve all the prices. Thats what you really pay if you game share with a friend!
I dont pay more than 35€ for a brand new game DIGITALLY! And my friend and I usually wait for PS Store sales so we pay even less. Usually 10-15€ each.
PS. We are even sharing PS+ Membership.

The music and film industry say "hi"
I will buy one with Disc Drive.
But the truth is that PS5 DE made buying a XSS have no point.
For 100 $ more you get a true next gen machine, bigger and faster SSD and imo a better collection of games with PS plus Collection (which also costs 60$ a year compared to gamepass’ 150$)
Sales and game sharing exist in the store too. But dont let me spoil your hyperbole
It has tremendous value for those not having a PS4.Not really, game pass is constantly adding new aaa games, this collection of old pps4 games that were selling for $10 on the digital store has almost no value.
To all PS5 digital haters:
Have you ever shared a PS4 digital game with a friend?????Meaning: Splitting the costs for a game. You know you can have 1 PSN account on 2 systems, which means: Every brand new game you buy together on PS Store costs only 30$ each? E.g. You share the costs for 1 game, you buy and download the game, he then logs into your account, downloads the game on his PS4 as well and can play it with his own account.
When days gone (10$) or SOTC (10$) was on sale in the PS Store, I only paid 5$ each, because they were on sale on PS Store and we shared the costs.

According to your logic, if you buy a can of Coke, you are a Pepsi hater. I think you take it too personal. It's about spending my money the way I see it best.To all PS5 digital haters:

You think the one with the disc drive looks better than the digital edition ?Yeah. But it looks like shit.
Has anyone justified why the disc drive costs $100 nowdays ? It's like paying 500$ for 1TB SSD back in the day.
You seem to be incorrect.The amount of people saying “no disc drive, no buy” here are now the minority.
I do believe so. I'm in the same situation and after Demons Souls I might finally slide in that Witcher disk.I have a question. I have many games in my catalog that I didnt have played because of time constrain, all of them being PS4 games mainly given each month from PS Plus.
Can I download and play those games in the PS5?
Agreed I wish I could go digital but I ain’t paying 200 bucks for a mediocre 4k player that doesn’t work for certain movies which apparently seems to be the case for most on the market now. But fuck the digital is pretty.Yeah. But it looks like shit.
So you're renting then, not buying. What is it about that which you don't comprehend?Because I will be able to more often buy discs at better discounted prices from stores than digital on the PS Store and I will also be able to sell my games when I'm finished with them. What is it that some of you do not seem to comprehend about this?
You seem to be incorrect.
Digital is only good if you don’t share games with anyone, and you don’t go into any store to buy games at all.

LolCmon, its 399$.
Compared to XSX:
- Almost same performance (18%-25% delta)
- 2x faster SSD
- 100$ cheaper
- better 1st party games (2021 looks packed already)
compared to XSS:
- Almost 2.5x the performance for only 100$ more
- 4k vs. 1440p/1080p
- bigger and faster SSD (512gb vs 825gb)
- better 1st party games IMO
What do you think? IMO the PS5 DE is the sweet spot for most gamers. In the 7 yrs of PS4, I only had 1 game on disk (CoD Ghosts) which was a gift. So I will gladly go digital only. I shared all my games with a friend, so every brand new game is 30$ max. each and theres almost always some kind of sale going on. I hope Sony doesn't change account sharing with the PS5 lel.
Ah yes a UHD drive. A market in which blu Ray player manufacturers have been pulling out of over the the last year or so.Call it what you will, I will make back those 100 bucks and more easily and have a UHD drive for movies.
It has tremendous value for those not having a PS4.
It is not. I think you are comparing max theoretical decompression speed epeen, which is something rather different.
Imagine buying a console where you only have one store to buy your games XD. In 2-3 years were gonna get the inevitable threads "Why is this old game still $70?!" Don't complain about prices later when you bought a console with no competing storefronts.
