Digital

An extra 100 dollars for more dangerous and useless technology is a bad idea.

Disc

I'm not anti digital though and much prefer the symmetry of the digital. And frankly my plus backlog is insane and I've taken to buying digital when discounted under 30 for complete /all dlc/GOTY editions.

Disc. You can buy used physical games at GameStop for huge discounts. Digital download sales are usually not nearly as cheap.

This.

Why would I get a console that can only take Digital, when I can get the console that takes both Physical *and* Digital?

Disc always.

With digital, you don't actually own the game just a license to play the game. You can't trade in digital games you no longer play or buy used games, sure there is sales but buying pre-owned is cheaper.

Disc drive could become damaged causing the whole system not to work rendering the product completely useless.

Every console I've ever used that had disc drive problems only displayed those problems when you put a disc in the drive. Otherwise, the OS and digital titles still work.

Digital for me. Why pay $100 more when I know that I'm only going to buy digital games? I haven't bought a physical game since 2018.

I do actually. But I want to buy a PS5 for the exclusives. Sony, so far, has released only 2 PS4 exclusives on PC. Not a good enough track record for me to believe all PS5 games will come to PC.

But if you use your PC for things besides gaming, plugging it into a TV is inefficient, plus you have to constantly move your PC around in order to connect it to a TV and then back to wherever you keep it.

PS5 doesn't really have any exclusives yet, but it will, because exclusives are basically the only reason to get a Playstation over the near-identical Xbox.

That assumes your PC isn't in a room with a TV. My PC is in my room connected to my TV's HDMI 2.1 port. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and an Xbox One controller connected to my PC, so I don't need to be at a desk for it to work.

I got Demons Souls new for $45 on eBay at launch, and I don't think the digital version has even gone on sale yet. So basically you spend a bit more upfront with disc PS5 to save big in the long run.
