Jetblackmoon 06/18/23 9:32:06 AM #3:	Yes, it can read and play PS4 games. If you have even a small collection of PS4 games, I'd say get the disc version. I rarely buy physical anymore either, but sometimes the physical is cheaper than the digital. I like having options. --- Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight? <cite>Jetblackmoon posted [p:974236938] in So Im gonn... [t:80481278]...</cite> <quote>Yes, it can read and play PS4 games.

BurmesePenguin 06/18/23 9:33:43 AM #6:	If you buy discless you are at the whim of Sony's monopoly which always sets the price the highest available on new releases whereas vendors of physical copies compete with each and you will often be able ot find the game significantly cheaper in the release window. I remember buying the Mass Effect remaster trilogy for 399 DKK on release day while Sony sold it for 579 DKK on their online store. In time digital copies tend to have larger sales, but having a physical version of course doesn't prevent you from taking part in those as well as future physical ones. Also yes it plays PS4 games. --- Sigful User Logic <cite>BurmesePenguin posted [p:974236962] in So Im gonn...

MrMallard 06/18/23 9:33:55 AM #7:	Disc for sure. More functionality is always better, because maybe you'll find a bargain bin for like $20 when the digital sale is $45 on sale. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:974236967] in So Im gonn...

CaptainStrong 06/18/23 9:53:54 AM #10:	The one with a disc drive can play used games, games that have been delisted, and 4K Blu-rays, so it's way better than the digital only one.

Xenogears15 06/18/23 10:00:35 AM #12:	Also, no matter which version you get do yourself a favor and get a 1 or 2TB SSD extension.
