I have the disc version, which I think was a mistake, since my whole collection of games is digital.

I guess it's nice to have the option to choose, though.

So far my thoughts about getting the disc version are getting validation.

Yeah, especially if a physical gaming store has a good sale. Then it can be worth having paid a bit more for the console.

I also got the disc version with the thought that it'd be cheaper in the long run because I could buy used games.

I uh

Have yet to buy any physical games

In hindsight, I should have bought it. If I buy physical games then I cut myself off from DLC, so Ive gone fully digital for that reason.

Yes, I do. Unless, of course, I want to make a whole new PlayStation account, but Im too heavily invested for that now. All digital is the lesser of two evils.

I also don't know why you think this. I bought Horizon: ZD used on my PS4 and bought the Frozen Wilds DLC just fine.

I guess you're right, if you're doing regional jumping there can be DLC issues, but that's kind of a niche issue that you should probably have mentioned.

Yes, Im sure you did. But Im guessing thats because your PlayStation account matches up with the region of the disc based game?

I have the disc PS5, but I buy games 100% digital. However, one of my friends lets me borrow games that I'm on the fence about. That alone makes it worth having the option for disc.

Its only weird because you wanted to doubt what I was saying for no good reason. The wording of my original post was clearly talking about me, so its not like I was trying to expand it to other people. A little bit of inferring would suggest that my situation is not the same as yours, whether you knew it was about region locks or not.

I was actually going in with good intentions because I thought you were misinformed but go off, I guess.

I explained what I meant as soon as it was questioned by the pair of you. Its not like I was withholding information, and theres also the fact that Ive written many posts on this board about my situation, so repeating it constantly feels a bit redundant.

I dont take any issue with you not immediately knowing what I was referring to. Just with the fact that you think its weird that I didnt give all the minute details. Still, at least youve tried to be civil about it. The penguin guy, less so.

Exactly. Webhallen for example sometimes have great sales.

This is PS4, not PS5, but the same concept applies.

When the Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out I bought it at an electronic store on release day for 399 DKK. The price it was being sold for on the PSN store on release day, and still is when not on sale, was 579 DKK. That's a huge saving for having physical capability. I had a similar saving for Crash Bandicoot 4 on release day. Nevermind that you can make more money back if you then sell them on later on.

A couple of games is all it will take to make up the difference of price between the the physical and digital PS5, and then its pure profit after. And you can still buy all the digital games you desire. There's no reason to not get the physical edition.

I have the disc version, but it was kind of silly for me to go that way. I figured I had to have one because I had a few PS4 games on disc I wanted to get around to playing on it. But even on PS4 I bought mostly digital, and since I got PS5 at launch I have exactly 1 PS5 physical game: GOW Ragnarok that my wife bought me last Christmas.

I hope physical media continues strong in the coming years-it is good for gamers who want that to have the option. But my game library is almost fully digital now. If I had to do it again, I would probably get the digital version of PS5.

Adding to the above, if I were going to get one, I'd wait for that new one that supports an external disc drive, and initially buy the version that doesn't come with the drive. The option is there later if I do end up wanting it, but I don't see that actually happening.
