Digital PS5 makes you have to rebuy any PS4 games you want to play.

Discs are nice as you can resell your games down the road, or loan/trade with friends. Console manufacturers love digital because it eliminates both of those = more profits. Also less manufacturing cost.

Quote from SCP-0001 :
Well up until now I have been a diehard Xbox weenie since the original Xbox came out. I've literally owned every version of Xbox (especially the Halo Editions) but I am not one of those collectors, I always trade them in towards the new release console. I had never played on a PlayStation, never owned one, had absolutely no interest in it at all. I am a former Network Engineer my specialty was in Windows so a Microsoft game console was a natural progression for me. What changed? Microsoft's flat out refusal to do anything VR with the Xbox is not only stupid, it's robbing it's user base of amazing experiences. I had an Oculus Go, Oculus Rift S & I have a Quest 2, they're cool, but not as seamless & immersive as a console based solution would be. I had seen PSVR on YouTube & liked it. Then I found out about PSVR 2 & OMFG 🤯 I was not prepared for it to be that mind-blowingly impressive! So I immediately ordered the PS5 Digital God of War Ragnarok Bundle & Pre-order the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle. I had no idea PS5 graphics were so incredible! It's hard to believe the Series X & PS5 have the same hardware, because the PS5 looks & performs so much better than the Series X in my opinion anyways. Of course I'll have to keep an Xbox, because I've been a massive Halo fanboy since day 1 too.
Well put. I own a PS4. I don't have an interest in buying a PS5 yet. I'm one of those guys "waiting for the slim." Haha.

I recently purchased a gaming laptop a few months ago, and it brought my love for Halo back, or so I thought. I always told myself, if I ever get an Xbox console, then it would be for Halo. I was one of those guys that played the shit out of Combat Evolved on PC back in 2005. I really did miss it! So I played it safe, got back into PC, and wow I'm glad I did.

I'm not here to talk about how great PC is and the limitless mod capabilities (boohoo Xbox), but I was able to play some old school Halo Games including the free one. Honestly, It gave me this outdated feel. A lot has changed in fact. It feels like there's less people playing now. I guess you can blame the more modern games attracting players, especially the free ones. But man, that would have been a waste of money for me if I would have bought an Xbox just for Halo. I mean if you want to play Xbox games, then just get a PC 😚. You pretty much can get the same exclusives. I played High on Life, a game that's not available on PlayStation, and it was a short and fun game; but again, and not something I would drop 💰 for and get an Xbox. Lol it's on PC!!

I've gone through pretty much every single generation of PlayStation console since the classic one. I originally wanted an N64, but my dad ended up getting me a PlayStation. And I ended up enjoying it!

Sony puts a lot of effort on PlayStation. Sadly, they don't make TVs anymore. You will see TVs with the Sony logo, but Sony stopped officially making TVs…I want to say…15-20 years ago? I believe Phillips makes Sony TVs now. So you can see that their main focus is PlayStation. I know that they have other projects too like the Sony car lol, but we're here for gaming. Sony has made some great exclusives, and yes, you can eventually get them on PC after so many years. I feel that if you want a console solely for exclusives then go with Sony, because all the Microsoft stuff you can get on PC. So there's no need for an Xbox lol. I myself am waiting for the PS5 slim. I'm not in a hurry to be honest. I can play the Playstation exclusives on my ps4 still and all the other stuff on PC.

that's because pc gamers can simply torrent the games they want, or buy from steam and multiple other vendors with incredibly cheap deals. PlayStation and Xbox users are locked into the consoles 1 storefront and are at the mercy of their overpriced digital downloads. Sekiro is now 4 years old and still not gone lower than 30$ on ps store, while I picked up the disc used from GameStop for a few dollars being savvy with sales/coupons from them when sekiro had only been out for less than a year. I have a physical disc ps5 and have been very happy with it for the 2 years I've had it. Could I have survived digital only, probably, but as someone said you will have to rebuy previous ps4 discs you own to play them again.

Not to mention my steam library follows me everywhere on steam deck, as well as through multiple iterations of PC upgrades and changes.

There's no "backwards compatibility" topic with PCs. Barring some special cases for very old games, I can play the same games today that I did in middle school.

Sony owns Bravia, which makes TVs.

FYI I went into Target the other day just randomly and they had several disc and digital, both Ragnarok bundle and non-Ragnarok bundle. My friend picked up a plain digital edition. If you have RedCard, good to check there first.

In fairness, so do many disc editions. My brothers crapped out on him already.
