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

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.
lol no BC talk. Oh good, score one point. I have a radeon 6700xt and every couple of months will TRY to get a PC game going and the number of steps and special configs and mods and fixes I have to apply is fking ridiculous.

In fairness, so do many disc editions. My brothers crapped out on him already.
The secret they only hide in the back of the manual is not to drop it.

If I had to get the digital version I would have. I don't own a physical game yet so far. I bet there's a large percentage of folks like me too that have the disc version "just for fun"
I bought the disc version to play my old PS4 games and I thought PS5 too. We own a couple of physical PS5 games, but only because the kids got physical copies for Christmas.

A lot of my PS4 games ended up either being on PS+ or on a really good sale so we barely use the physical. I think our daughters copy of Sims 4 has been in the drive for at least the last six months and she barely plays it.

If we told relatives not to buy physical games and I bought the digital version of Sims 4 I could probably have gotten by just fine on the digital version. It's nice being able to change games without wandering around the room. I think the disc lovers are much like the vinyl album lovers - it's all about the ritual of putting a game in the box.

I think most people just want to have a physical copy due to how things have changed in the past few years.

I always try to get a disc version for resale value years down the road. It doesn't add much but having a few games bundled helps a little.

Digital is convenient but locks the game to your account. Though there are ways to share the game and cut costs with close friends/family.


I definitely don't enjoy swapping diacs but when they are selling a digital copy for $60 and a physical for 47.99 or something, I'll opt for that.

Back when you could get all the Best buy perks ($10 pre-order, etc.), I could get a new game and trade it in weeks later for ~30ish and lose a few bucks. Impossible to do with a digital copy.

These days, a lot of games are going free to play with some modes and also being added to game subscription plans so it makes it less and less worthwhile. Not to mention those $10 pre-order bonuses are rare.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Coastie27

$590 list price is a deceitful price to lure people to buy it thinking that they got a good deal for $399.00 when this Playstation console original price since launch have been $399.99! even the OP posted that deceitful $590 list price!

My local stores all have disc PS5s and maybe a Series X in stock plus a lot of Switches.

Overheard a guy while I was looking at games say if it was 2 years ago he would be all over buying that PS5 but now, meh.

All 3 consoles have a great library of games but with limited consoles available for so long combined with all the games coming out on One and PS4 made people feel like upgrading wasnr worth the $500.

Anyhow, I got the disc version simply becausse if I want to play a disc game, I can. Ive gotten deals on disk games, and can swap disks if I need to. If i don't have to and have a digital version, great. But I do not get the same choice if I had the digital console.

Thanks, it haven't crossed my mind before that I knew there should have been a catch
It's probably why they've reduced prices. People favor discs bc its liquidable. You can lend to friends and family etc.

For the companies digital format saves them money to distribute over copies they have to print. But for consumers when the seller holds all the keys they can control the market 100%. Whether they will pass onto the consumers the savings is yet to be seen.

I haven't been paying attention, but my nephew is asking for one of these. Are the inventory issues still a problem or are those behind us now? I still have a few months before I need to purchase.
