Just go PC if that happens. PC is all digital also, but you can at least back up entire games to hard drives how ever many times you want and won't need internet to check and play them. Plus you can get PlayStation, XBox, & Nintendo games on it either legally or illegally via emulators, which makes a PC an all in one Console basically. I am not a "PC Master Race" guy at all, just saying at least there is an alternative to the horrible practices of the Console market because that is what I will do if they go digital only. I love physical, and the feeling of getting up, opening up a case, and putting the disc in the drive. Digital just feels so soulless to me which admittedly is kind of odd since they are all just soulless pieces of plastic lol. I don't understand how people nowadays are so lazy they cannot just get up off the couch and change a disc or go to the store, and instead just want everything right in front of them at all times without having to move. I miss the days of going to Blockbuster or Rogers Video to rent movies or games. Young people today missed out on that feeling.

Im an old-school gamer and collector. I own all the consoles and have supported them up till this point. If they decide on going digital, I will be done.

Well people would play more new games over old ones if they actually MADE NEW GAMES lol. I know games take longer to make now than they used to but they need to start making more new games. PS5 has been out for what, 4 years now I think? In the first 4 years of the PS1 and PS2 how many games did they make to play? For the PS5 how many games have they made so far? I cannot find number of games made for 4 years so I divided total number of games by how many years between the console and the next gen console releasing.

The PS5 info I chose was the number without that as stated in the quote below ⬇️ because the other numbers counted more games than the PS4 which would not be true unless they were counting old games that you can stream on PS Plus.

One thing i would ask Sony is if they do make a digital only playstation....please give us more storage space. 1 terabyte is nothing when your average games can be 300-400 GB. By the time it comes out we will need a 5-6 Terabyte storage.
Ps6 going fully digital will finally give me the push to finish all my backlogs on ps5, sell the console and never ever give a single penny to sony. I'll gladly move to PC since all the games are timed exclusives nowadays.
Physical is better, but for the producers having digital saves millions. Thing is and it happens already. When wifi goes down because of power outages. There goes your games. So. When you want to play you can’t. Only with wifi. If they go digital then they should make the ssd way bigger so we can store more than one game on the hard drive.
there was a game shop close by where i live . not big , but it was always popular . both young and old used to walk in , check out both old and new games and a wide variety of accessories and merch . they always did well . to bad it closed down , one of my favorite stores it was . both manny of my games there , even during the corona .
@@solid_justice5855 What I'm getting at is that Sony is linking the disk drive directly to the console, rather than having it as a stand alone drive that could function with older PS5s and with the PS6 when it comes out... or the PS7...
@PeterKaitlyn1 you can attach it to an other ps5 though. It isn't locked to one ps5. Also pretty sure better drives will come out so why would you want to use a ps5 disc drive on a ps7, when the tech has evolved
really this is the consumer's doing...the companies did give the consumers a choice and they chose the more convenient option. never embraced digital as you can't do much with it after you buy it, the cost argument died a long time ago, you pay whatever the publisher wants. most of these companies would love to move away to 100% digital if they can or even subscription, whatever is more profitable.
Ohhhhhh you should see my PS5 pro thumbnail 3 months before PS5 pro was announced😂😂😂.. they hated it .. they mass down voted it ...aaand guess what....that thumbnail became reality. My thumbnails predict the future😂
I’m not buying a PS6 if it doesn’t have a disc drive! I’m huge into the physical and digital sucks. Sony is making a huge mistake if the games go digital and if that happens then I’m staying with the retro games.
The day video game consoles go completely digital and there is no longer a physical format to play newer video games is the day I give up playing newer video games instead I will keep playing my older games till they break and when they do I will no longer play any video games
Digital is convenient with a huge caveat. You can’t sell your digital games. I have to sell it goes down. You’re kind of screwed along with basically just own a license rather than flat out owning the game like you do with a physical disc but we will know whether the PS5 will be my last PlayStation or not Once we have confirmation whether or not the PS6 will have a disc drive.
They'll most likely be a separate disc drive like for the PS5 Pro. PS5 Disc systems sell better than all digital consoles and PS6 will be bc compatible with PS5 games.
Personally I like physical games, but I also like digital games for their convenience. I feel we need protection for digital games. We should own digital games and not just a license. I want new laws to protect digital games. We should own digital goods.
Discless to storage cards? Ps5 has about 1 TB and Ps5 Pro has 2 TB. Will Ps6 have 5 TB? Games are not getting smaller but bigger! Will Ps6 have 2 storage expansion slots?
forever i will only choose physical disc, cause it has a benefit to prevent a censored patch, like now my stellar blade game still have uncensored outfit for eve, cause i always turn off internet everytime i play it, another example is FF7 remake, tifa cowgirl outfit are still uncensored
No way I’m going to opt out to digital only if I can have a physical media. Be somewhere where the internet is bad. I don’t mind digital but I would not abandon disc.
im going to miss physical games because growing up I enjoyed going to KB toys in the malls, funcoland which is now gamestop and the other big box stores. At least once a month I take my 7 year old son into gamestop to play the demos and just walk around and take it all in because we won't have it much longer.
If there is no disk drive for the playstation 6 we will not be buying one that will be the end of gaming for us or buying games . Physical only for us we want it in our hand or nothing at all . I own 520 physical ps4 and 5 games i will never buy a digital game period!
I have a better idea, they should just have an attachable disk drive that comes with the PS6, that way if you want diskless you can and if you don’t want the disk drive you can just attach it.
No physical media, no sale Sony! I want to own my games... I can swap discs with friends, or trade them in, or sell them if I want to. The "cool factor" of gaming is being destroyed... I want my shelves packed with physical media.
I get it, but at the same time its far far FAR healthier for people to get out of the fkn house and socialize more even if its at a gamestop. People need to go out and go shopping or we just all become sit at home fatties and anti-socialists.
i love both phyiscal and digital equally i'm not against digital meida i love embrace change and digital media i love embrace it for what it is i have no problem with it like the majority do i'm a fan of digital media i don't care don't mind if i own the game or don't own the game there is apart of me that love digital media in gaming better that's just me my honest unpopular point of view
yeah, if there is OR there WILL be an optional choice when making a purchase over the digital console to add a traditional console with a disc drive slot attachment. that would be very much RECOMMENDABLE. even though we will have to folk out more money, as long it serve a purpose of allowing us to engage in our gaming experience in the same way we have been doing for the last 25 years from 1999 to 2024 for me at least with the playstation1. compliments of the season, take care. on that note, goodnight. my lady gameplay
Part of me thinks they should just sell and bundle the physical copy discs of high profile games into some kind of special edition for people that want to buy that it has a physical copy. I mean I have to admit I do like the convenience of just purchasing whatever game I want online digitally and it also makes up for less pollution and whatever else it takes to make a physical copy. But maybe they should make physical copies for specific games after they sell the shit out of them. But that’s just my two cents because I know there’s plenty of people that will always want physical copies no matter what kind of game it is, Did they get me wrong I would like physical copies of certain games as well because I am absolutely 100% not on board with any game that says online required in order to play and I’m a bit pissed off because I’m playing two games right now that are both online required and I fucking hate that so I don’t think I will ever purchased a game in the future that is only required it’s the worst fucking thing ever. If it’s free to play or if it’s a stupid MMO or something like that sure those can be online only I don’t give a shit about those games I only want a single player high fantasy games with awesome art, combat and atmosphere AND a good story, nothing bloated and boring ALSO local couch co-op work no split screen but depending on the game of course
How many of you guys listen to digital music on your iPhone or android. Music was the format that started it all. Digital music, digital games, digital currency. What? Wishing you were born 30 years ago.? Adapt to the future what can you do?
1. the same way you can go oto a computer and download super nintendo game files, PS2, And PS3 etc. you will be able to do the same with PS5 games. someday there will be a way to play these games on your computer through emulation and someone online will always have the game files. you will also likely be able to play those gamefiles on a flashdrive or move them onto the actual storage of your ps5 and play them.....yes this is piracy, but this is also something that has been done on literally every playstation and Xbox in history so no, your games wont just disappear forever if they are digital. 2. the companies can't just go into your system and uninstall your games. even if they remove the game from the digital store. as long as you keep your games installed, you have nothing to worry about. 3. you do not need internet to play games. i am not sure where this came from, but i am like. 99.9 percent certain i do not need internet connection to play my digital games. unless it's like an online multiplayer game only. 4. digital games arent actually digital. they become physical the moment they are installed on a storage device. so when you go online and you download all those retro games onto an SD card. guess what? thats a physical collection of games. none of these games will disappear and there will always be a way to access them. so if you think of this as a future investment and how easy it is to access video games online, then you really have no downsides to buying and installing digital games on your consoles. by the way, physical games, discs, they do not last forever. they rot, and fall apart, get damaged. this will never be an issue for digital games. SD break? just use another one and redownload all those games on the internet LOL
Be careful what you comment.... RUclips is watching. Corpo's Watching. Nintendo Sueing their fans on a daily basis ..People are getting sued just by explaining people how to download roms. Just a friendly tip. :)
You need GENIUSES like mark Cerny and Nintendo to create consoles! You need GENIUSES to make consoles affordable and run like high end gaming PCs at an affordable price. I have a PC.. I can do your taxes, edit a video Design Thumbnails, do Research, watch Dragon Ball. But you and I are not making games. This argument falls flat. It's like saying you need a PC to edit a John Wick movie.. the statement is truez but what's your point?
A full on digital only ps6 will not hapoen because everyone has a disc for something whether it's a movie tv show game or music it will always be needed and they do have to offer an external disc option at least
I think it means games that are played specifically online. Multiplayer games. Of course if the server goes down on those then having the disk is useless as well.
Excellent topic for a video.I prefer physical video game media and will always purchase the PlayStation console iteration that has an optical drive.The other key aspect that was touched on in the video that needs highlighting is the global penetration and availability of persistent broadband internet access.If consoles such as future generations of the PlayStation were to be offered as digital only models,Sony would be greatly reducing their revenue stream from countries that do not have high broadband internet penetration.There obviously may have an option of regional specific models that would include or have the option of attaching an optical disc drive.
Im sorry i need a disc drive with my console i have tons of ps4 disc games the ,ps5 may be my last n final playstation console if sony goes this Route i will switch to Nintendo or get a steam deck no ps6 for me😮😮😮😮
Streaming services like Netflix need to go. Physical media in movies and tv show box sets are actually making a comeback. I think warming is always 3 years behind on the media trends. Like for example they're also turning down the "Wokeness" a bit in movies too. I think it's an interesting topic to explore. What's your take? ( Btw this is how I script my videos, talking to the community)
since i got a ps5 a few years ago ive been getting a mixture of physical disc games and digital ones , i tend to check the price of the game on ps store then amazon then maybe another place , i try to get the cheapest option for the game i want to buy but also since i have ps plus premium there are a tonne of games i can get digitally as part of the subscription so its complicated but recently i have been leaning towards digital games
all of the games i play i got from the digital store front. the only game i cannot play offline is hell divers 2. other then that has long has the game is downloaded you can play off line on most games
There's pros and cons for both, physical media has a shelf life. Digital depends on internet and servers, and the discretion of the companies that own them. Also, disk based games are used once to launch the game, or start the download on the server, and most of you gamers trash the disks, throw away the boxes, and quite often leave said disk in the console having forgotten about it entirely. You're not going to be happy with physical media. you're not going to be happy with your gamepass or steam either.
It's funny to say "in an apocalyptic world" as if it would be an important part of "survivor" in that scenario 🤣🤣 but seriously, if we keep going this way, we might not have many physical media in the future. And not just in video games, but in other aspects as well. IMO we should keep doing what we are doing now(giving the consumer choice of having physical or digital media 'ownership') and if we want to go 'ALL DIGITAL' then so be it! But having the choice it's what matters most. 🤷♂
Take MY discs??? FROM...MY COLD....DEAD...HANDS!!!! I'll never buy a console digital game, ever, because of EXACTLY what's been happening...people bought games at full price, or more, only for them to disappear at the whim of some nongaming, three-piece wearing moron thats never so much as turned a console on, lol, no thanks, I wont be providing the sword that's going to decapitate me. At least with PCs you can play off of whatever your game is stored on.
I will disagree.. this is the gamers fault. The vast majority of gamers chose digital outta both ignorance and convenience. Only way we can speak up is by buying disc option and out right refusal for digital.. disc lovers .. we are the minority.
When I had a ps3.. I had over 500 disks...... ps4... I had about 300 disks..... ps5... I have about 10 ........ can't really get extra on the disk... when u buy from PlayStation store... say black ops 6 was £50 just for disk version.., the one I got and paid a bit extra was the vault edition for £99... you just get ur money worth
I love to have the choice and own both. Digital games as well as discs. I did get the PRO for Christmas from my wife and wait for the disc drive to arrive. Will play then my discs that I did not play so far but if trend goes to digital that will be no deal breaker for me as I am a gamer since 1978. That's since then my loved hobby and I am not looking for another hobby just because the industry goes to digital. 90 percent of my games already are and additionally to the 2 TB I have another 4 TB SSD installed 😊
Okay ..ain't nobody gonna talk about the zombie apocalypse? 80% of my time was spent on that part 😂😂😂
Lol. I literally own disc's for that reason. Well that and I like them.

...and is it a stand alone drive? an would it work on a PS6 or on an older PS5?
@@PeterKaitlyn1 it only works with ps5. The older ps5 has a disc drive version
@@solid_justice5855
What I'm getting at is that Sony is linking the disk drive directly to the console, rather than having it as a stand alone drive that could function with older PS5s and with the PS6 when it comes out... or the PS7...
@PeterKaitlyn1 you can attach it to an other ps5 though. It isn't locked to one ps5. Also pretty sure better drives will come out so why would you want to use a ps5 disc drive on a ps7, when the tech has evolved
Man I miss PS2!
really this is the consumer's doing...the companies did give the consumers a choice and they chose the more convenient option. never embraced digital as you can't do much with it after you buy it, the cost argument died a long time ago, you pay whatever the publisher wants. most of these companies would love to move away to 100% digital if they can or even subscription, whatever is more profitable.
I learned my lesson theres atleast five games i lost because of licensing bullshit i buy physical games now
Ok the PS6 thumbnail is used for click bait. I get it. 😂
You're right but watch it turn out to be true LOL
Ohhhhhh you should see my PS5 pro thumbnail 3 months before PS5 pro was announced😂😂😂.. they hated it .. they mass down voted it ...aaand guess what....that thumbnail became reality. My thumbnails predict the future😂
@@SharodOhene you ain’t lyin
We need the options to have a disc drive. Digital only unacceptable
No disk drive no playstation.
I’m not buying a PS6 if it doesn’t have a disc drive!
I’m huge into the physical and digital sucks.
Sony is making a huge mistake if the games go digital and if that happens then I’m staying with the retro games.
The day video game consoles go completely digital and there is no longer a physical format to play newer video games is the day I give up playing newer video games instead I will keep playing my older games till they break and when they do I will no longer play any video games
I got Ragnarok on 2 discs, no day 1 patch needed. Spider-Man 2 same. Basically all Sony IPs actually
Digital is convenient with a huge caveat. You can’t sell your digital games. I have to sell it goes down. You’re kind of screwed along with basically just own a license rather than flat out owning the game like you do with a physical disc but we will know whether the PS5 will be my last PlayStation or not Once we have confirmation whether or not the PS6 will have a disc drive.
Remove disc but keep physical licence in form of pendrive or sd card
PS6 with no disc drive. I'll pass.
The zombie apocalypse!!! Exactly why I have so many disc games. Damn, someone finally gets it. 😅
it matters to the buyer to choose what he or she perefers
PlayStation literally announced it will not have enough in console until 2030
Literally just announced? I want source please. ( No links) But tell me the source. I'll report on it for sure.. but I need the juice.
Not buying for me the PS4 is the last console I will ever have. Digital only no way.
They'll most likely be a separate disc drive like for the PS5 Pro. PS5 Disc systems sell better than all digital consoles and PS6 will be bc compatible with PS5 games.
I still use physical for games I care about. I'll go digital if the game is 90 to 95 percent off. Sometimes 80 to 85 if it's a bangin deal.
They need to make the digital games cheaper
Nintendo will become my primary game console.
I guarantee you that if any games I play end their services if they are either physical copy or digital I will demand my refund try me.
Physical!!!! Physical let’s get physical! Physical! Cmon Olivia newton did not reach platinum to go digital she ment physical!!
Personally I like physical games, but I also like digital games for their convenience. I feel we need protection for digital games. We should own digital games and not just a license. I want new laws to protect digital games. We should own digital goods.
I try to buy physical whenever possible.
PlayStation about to lose a lot of costumers 😂😂😂 if this is true
When they go all digital, that will be the day i draw the line and find another hobby. 🤷🏼♂️
Discless to storage cards? Ps5 has about 1 TB and Ps5 Pro has 2 TB. Will Ps6 have 5 TB? Games are not getting smaller but bigger! Will Ps6 have 2 storage expansion slots?
They are also counting on playstation plus subscription with streaming games.
At this point just bring back 6th gen style memory cards 💀
forever i will only choose physical disc,
cause it has a benefit to prevent a censored patch,
like now my stellar blade game still have uncensored outfit for eve,
cause i always turn off internet everytime i play it,
another example is FF7 remake, tifa cowgirl outfit are still uncensored
No way I’m going to opt out to digital only if I can have a physical media. Be somewhere where the internet is bad. I don’t mind digital but I would not abandon disc.
im going to miss physical games because growing up I enjoyed going to KB toys in the malls, funcoland which is now gamestop and the other big box stores. At least once a month I take my 7 year old son into gamestop to play the demos and just walk around and take it all in because we won't have it much longer.
For me physical copy is the best . . What if your account is being hacked? . . Then goodbye to your games . .
Good point.. I don't wanna think about it.. thanks for the anxiety, I'll go have nightmares now😂
You can save your data on a Usb Stick Drive.
I will not buy a system that has no disc drive. I will change platforms. No biggie for me
If there is no disk drive for the playstation 6 we will not be buying one that will be the end of gaming for us or buying games . Physical only for us we want it in our hand or nothing at all . I own 520 physical ps4 and 5 games i will never buy a digital game period!
I have a better idea, they should just have an attachable disk drive that comes with the PS6, that way if you want diskless you can and if you don’t want the disk drive you can just attach it.
No physical media, no sale Sony! I want to own my games... I can swap discs with friends, or trade them in, or sell them if I want to. The "cool factor" of gaming is being destroyed... I want my shelves packed with physical media.
I get it, but at the same time its far far FAR healthier for people to get out of the fkn house and socialize more even if its at a gamestop. People need to go out and go shopping or we just all become sit at home fatties and anti-socialists.
i love both phyiscal and digital equally i'm not against digital meida i love embrace change and digital media i love embrace it for what it is i have no problem with it like the majority do i'm a fan of digital media i don't care don't mind if i own the game or don't own the game there is apart of me that love digital media in gaming better that's just me my honest unpopular point of view
yeah, if there is OR there WILL be an optional choice when making a purchase over the digital console to add a traditional console with a disc drive slot attachment. that would be very much RECOMMENDABLE. even though we will have to folk out more money, as long it serve a purpose of allowing us to engage in our gaming experience in the same way we have been doing for the last 25 years from 1999 to 2024 for me at least with the playstation1. compliments of the season, take care. on that note, goodnight. my lady gameplay
Part of me thinks they should just sell and bundle the physical copy discs of high profile games into some kind of special edition for people that want to buy that it has a physical copy.
I mean I have to admit I do like the convenience of just purchasing whatever game I want online digitally and it also makes up for less pollution and whatever else it takes to make a physical copy.
But maybe they should make physical copies for specific games after they sell the shit out of them.
But that’s just my two cents because I know there’s plenty of people that will always want physical copies no matter what kind of game it is, Did they get me wrong I would like physical copies of certain games as well because I am absolutely 100% not on board with any game that says online required in order to play and I’m a bit pissed off because I’m playing two games right now that are both online required and I fucking hate that so I don’t think I will ever purchased a game in the future that is only required it’s the worst fucking thing ever.
If it’s free to play or if it’s a stupid MMO or something like that sure those can be online only I don’t give a shit about those games I only want a single player high fantasy games with awesome art, combat and atmosphere AND a good story, nothing bloated and boring ALSO local couch co-op work no split screen but depending on the game of course
How many of you guys listen to digital music on your iPhone or android. Music was the format that started it all. Digital music, digital games, digital currency.
What? Wishing you were born 30 years ago.? Adapt to the future what can you do?
Most of my games are discs. The last time i handled a disc was today, I wont be rushing out to buy a PS6.
Awesome review 😊
Time to switch to pc
1. the same way you can go oto a computer and download super nintendo game files, PS2, And PS3 etc. you will be able to do the same with PS5 games. someday there will be a way to play these games on your computer through emulation and someone online will always have the game files. you will also likely be able to play those gamefiles on a flashdrive or move them onto the actual storage of your ps5 and play them.....yes this is piracy, but this is also something that has been done on literally every playstation and Xbox in history so no, your games wont just disappear forever if they are digital.
2. the companies can't just go into your system and uninstall your games. even if they remove the game from the digital store. as long as you keep your games installed, you have nothing to worry about.
3. you do not need internet to play games. i am not sure where this came from, but i am like. 99.9 percent certain i do not need internet connection to play my digital games. unless it's like an online multiplayer game only.
4. digital games arent actually digital. they become physical the moment they are installed on a storage device. so when you go online and you download all those retro games onto an SD card. guess what? thats a physical collection of games. none of these games will disappear and there will always be a way to access them. so if you think of this as a future investment and how easy it is to access video games online, then you really have no downsides to buying and installing digital games on your consoles. by the way, physical games, discs, they do not last forever. they rot, and fall apart, get damaged. this will never be an issue for digital games. SD break? just use another one and redownload all those games on the internet LOL
Console games would never been possible without a pc to begin with. You need a pc to create Console games.
Be careful what you comment.... RUclips is watching. Corpo's Watching. Nintendo Sueing their fans on a daily basis ..People are getting sued just by explaining people how to download roms. Just a friendly tip. :)
Also True what you say about digital games. that's why I store my favorite games on HDDs
You need GENIUSES like mark Cerny and Nintendo to create consoles! You need GENIUSES to make consoles affordable and run like high end gaming PCs at an affordable price. I have a PC.. I can do your taxes, edit a video Design Thumbnails, do Research, watch Dragon Ball. But you and I are not making games. This argument falls flat. It's like saying you need a PC to edit a John Wick movie.. the statement is truez but what's your point?
A full on digital only ps6 will not hapoen because everyone has a disc for something whether it's a movie tv show game or music it will always be needed and they do have to offer an external disc option at least
Hope no one buys that bs......I would never buy a game you can't touch over $10 F that bs.
No Disk no money
if your game disappears because the servers go down, it's because you didn't have the game on your hard drive to begin with
I think it means games that are played specifically online. Multiplayer games. Of course if the server goes down on those then having the disk is useless as well.
Physical Game are #Cheaper Because of Competition You own the Game it’s in your Hands. You Only #Think You Own Your Digital Games
I'm old school I like/and have all my PS5 games on physical disk, But it would not surprise me if the PS6 is digital only
Oh dear! I am always impressed by your points. Your videos are hands dow best game news and info videos. Keep it up!
Excellent topic for a video.I prefer physical video game media and will always purchase the PlayStation console iteration that has an optical drive.The other key aspect that was touched on in the video that needs highlighting is the global penetration and availability of persistent broadband internet access.If consoles such as future generations of the PlayStation were to be offered as digital only models,Sony would be greatly reducing their revenue stream from countries that do not have high broadband internet penetration.There obviously may have an option of regional specific models that would include or have the option of attaching an optical disc drive.
Im sorry i need a disc drive with my console i have tons of ps4 disc games the ,ps5 may be my last n final playstation console if sony goes this Route i will switch to Nintendo or get a steam deck no ps6 for me😮😮😮😮
😂😂😂😂
PS 6 will have a disc drive. Will it cost extra ? Yes. But it will have disc support.
I buy dvd movies after years of not bothering. I only get the ones i like from charity shops. £1 a disc or box set for £2 a disk.
Streaming services like Netflix need to go. Physical media in movies and tv show box sets are actually making a comeback. I think warming is always 3 years behind on the media trends. Like for example they're also turning down the "Wokeness" a bit in movies too. I think it's an interesting topic to explore. What's your take? ( Btw this is how I script my videos, talking to the community)
yeah, HAPPY NEW YEAR my lady. compliments of the season, take care. truth be told
since i got a ps5 a few years ago ive been getting a mixture of physical disc games and digital ones , i tend to check the price of the game on ps store then amazon then maybe another place , i try to get the cheapest option for the game i want to buy but also since i have ps plus premium there are a tonne of games i can get digitally as part of the subscription so its complicated but recently i have been leaning towards digital games
I guess I'll start saving up for a more updated pc.
all of the games i play i got from the digital store front. the only game i cannot play offline is hell divers 2. other then that has long has the game is downloaded you can play off line on most games
There's pros and cons for both, physical media has a shelf life. Digital depends on internet and servers, and the discretion of the companies that own them. Also, disk based games are used once to launch the game, or start the download on the server, and most of you gamers trash the disks, throw away the boxes, and quite often leave said disk in the console having forgotten about it entirely. You're not going to be happy with physical media. you're not going to be happy with your gamepass or steam either.
No phisical discs no phisical buy😂
They think they'll make more money going discless but millions of kids trade in a game to get a new one. They wont be capitalizing by doing this.
I WILL NOT BUY A PS6 IF IT DOESN'T COME WITH A DISC DRIVE AND BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY WITH MY PS3, PS4 OR PS5.!!!!!!😎
I won’t buy ps6 if they don’t put a disc drive on it 💯
You cant get a disc drive in Australia at the moment….doesnt look like it’s going to change anytime soon….its already started in some countries
It's funny to say "in an apocalyptic world" as if it would be an important part of "survivor" in that scenario 🤣🤣 but seriously, if we keep going this way, we might not have many physical media in the future. And not just in video games, but in other aspects as well. IMO we should keep doing what we are doing now(giving the consumer choice of having physical or digital media 'ownership') and if we want to go 'ALL DIGITAL' then so be it! But having the choice it's what matters most. 🤷♂
Take MY discs??? FROM...MY COLD....DEAD...HANDS!!!! I'll never buy a console digital game, ever, because of EXACTLY what's been happening...people bought games at full price, or more, only for them to disappear at the whim of some nongaming, three-piece wearing moron thats never so much as turned a console on, lol, no thanks, I wont be providing the sword that's going to decapitate me. At least with PCs you can play off of whatever your game is stored on.
I will disagree.. this is the gamers fault. The vast majority of gamers chose digital outta both ignorance and convenience.
Only way we can speak up is by buying disc option and out right refusal for digital.. disc lovers .. we are the minority.
When I had a ps3.. I had over 500 disks...... ps4... I had about 300 disks..... ps5... I have about 10 ........ can't really get extra on the disk... when u buy from PlayStation store... say black ops 6 was £50 just for disk version.., the one I got and paid a bit extra was the vault edition for £99... you just get ur money worth
She say get digital often as a discount lmao😂
Should I buy my new PS5 games digitally because of this? I used to buy digital games, but started to buy some physical games recently
I love to have the choice and own both. Digital games as well as discs. I did get the PRO for Christmas from my wife and wait for the disc drive to arrive. Will play then my discs that I did not play so far but if trend goes to digital that will be no deal breaker for me as I am a gamer since 1978. That's since then my loved hobby and I am not looking for another hobby just because the industry goes to digital. 90 percent of my games already are and additionally to the 2 TB I have another 4 TB SSD installed 😊
