I implore everyone to not buy digital games from PlayStation
Then you might as well switch from PlayStation to PC/Xbox gaming :/
I've been a PS gamer since the original PS1 having had the ps2, ps3, ps4, ps4 pro, ps5 and now ps5 pro (don't judge lol). Sony has showed the last few weeks though that they won't be continuing with discs even with the outcry from gamers.

I understand, I was a PlayStation gamer since PS2 and while it's not as long as yourself, it still hurts to know the Sony we knew and loved is gone. Really disappointed they prioritize shareholders, but this shouldn't be the attitude we take. This isn't something we can give up on. They are feeling the pressure and they shrug it off all they want, but the community has won these battles before. We just need to get casuals to fight the good fight instead of consuming.
some good deals. HOWEVER with recent developments over No Disc No Buy, completely locking down the store with digital dynamic pricing due to lack of physical media and that the vast majority of ps3 digital purchases are unplayable without a high tier subscription makes it difficult to support the company that had such great IPs and let them rot while they remaster/remake the same 10 games

The only game on the listed titles I was interested in, Stalker 2, is $2 cheaper on amazon for the physical disc version. Guess which one I'm gonna get? Just say no to digital (while you can)

I buy either when they are cheap. But I won't be buying a digital-only PS. And it isn't only because it torches the used game market, it's because I use it as a 4K Bluray player.

Also make sure you buy your music on cds and your movies on DVD since some people are pretending its the 90s and are getting really angry when the rest of the world lives in the present
Because digital purchases are really "purchases"[cecritic.com]? When you buy physical media you not only get irrevocable playback, you can also make them digital. It's not about being a Luddite as much as people seem to like making that joke, it's about keeping what you bought.

Exactly. I'll buy whatever is cheapest but I would also always like the option to buy physical games. I actually feel like I own it when it is physical. I would never buy a digital only console from Playstation. If that's their next move, I'm done with them.
