Playstation 5 Digital Edition is the sweet spot for most gamers
So? I've yet to see you make a logical point here.

Yeah, I think if I'll end up getting one (which I have currently no intention to) this is the one I'll buy.
I already bought only digital even on the PS4 PRO anyway. I don't care about "reselling my copies".
I never bother reselling games to begin with, and frankly I value the two hours of my time I'd waste going back and forth from the retail store more than the ten bucks a Gamestop employee would pay me for my used copy.
P.S. I hate every single option on this poll, but I guess I'll pick the first one as it's the closest to my answer.

Is cheaper and weaker and no. Disc only for me especially if the games will cost $70. I already stopped buying games at launch or full price. I prefer to wait.

No. I think they both look like shit.

Limiting how you are able to play your games by taking away the disc drive is the sweet spot? Not sweet enough for me I'm afraid.

Discs are a dying medium.
Or a brother, problem solved.

Ironically I found the best deals on games on PSN.

to be fair any game you buy there can also be played on PC, so in the unlikely event the Xbox store shuts down in the future you can back them up on PC and apply cracks which is something that also in the unlikely event Sony and Nintendo go under there’s no options like that which is why I also want consoles to be hacked.

I don't disagree with you on that but, again, as long as I can save money on that medium I will take advantage of it.

They start dropping the price of their biggest games after a few months anymore. I hope they keep up the pricing.

I was going to stick with my PC upgrade and switch this coming gen but the digital console has got me interested.
I don't really game much on modern consoles anymore but I do want Demon Souls and the rumoured Silent Hill. So for the odd exclusive its perfect.

10.3 TF variable clocks vs 12 TF fixed frequency for GPU + max. 3.5 Ghz vs 3.6Ghz fixed for CPU. XSX is at least 18% and IMO max. 25% faster. Smallest performance gap ever, so dont worry bruv.

I can't say that i agree, you don't seem to have a deep technical knowledge about the systems. So that precise 25% is just your personal opinion. The problem is you presented it as a known fact on your list. Anyway, that's clear now, thanks for your reply.

Exactly. Thats the same motivation for me to buy DE. Games on Day1 at $30-35

The digital PS5 version is not for me. There are PS4 games I want to play on PS5, and I get better deals if I hold off from buying games day one.
If PS5 keeps same “game sharing” system as PS4

If we are moving to an all digital future then companies should allow for digital pre-orders the very day that a game is announced.

I REALLY want the DE PS5, so I am going to try to snag one when the pre-orders start back up over the next few days. I have a physical PS5 pre-ordered on Amazon, but I wanted the DE from the start and I’ll happily cancel my Amazon pre-order if I can secure the DE.

I'm also trying to get a DE. Initial quantity of those is very low (understandable, since it's where they take most loss) and I found out that some websites of physical stores just refused to list them, they will put all their DEs for sale on the store on the day quietly, so I guess retailers aren't happy with the digital future perspective.
Amazon doesn't operate here, so now I have to check the stores DE pages every day hoping more stock becomes available (or go physically to the main store here and get on the waiting list).

2nd place is not bad. I didnt think so many would vote for the the DE here in GAF lel.

Something that’s going to be around for the next seven years could not be described as dying.

Jeez man no reason to get so unbelievably triggered, let's calm down mate.
Agree entirely. The only “downside” is lack of disc but considering a lot of people have moved to digital and will keep moving there over the coming years, it’ll no longer be a downside in a few years time

I'd suggest cancelling your order and putting money towards anger therapy

yeah. I mean nobody really complained when there was only STEAM on PC, since there were regular sales (PSN Stores has those too). Of course its better to have competition. (I hope EU forces to have 3rd party app stores for apple, sony, MS etc). in the future. You can also find cheap PS4 game keys/accounts from 3rd party sellers too on sites like keysforsteam etc.

I think the DE will be about 1/3 of the PS5 base eventually.
gameshare is definitely a thing and makes digital very viable. I gameshared a lot of games with my bro last year and that's why my digital library swelled. But i bought physical because I want UHD movie playback and I still prefer to sell on my big AAA launch day buys after I've finished them.
