No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won’t without a disk drive.
Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.
The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.
Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.
i mean…you could always buy the add-on disc drive? Assuming that it is still compatible with the Pro, not sure why it wouldn’t be. They get to fleece physical media heads for an extra $80, that’s a win for Sony.
I did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.
awesome! just double-check that it’s compatible with the new one before dropping the extra $80! Nothing about the Pro is official yet, so we still gotta wait and see.
Ehhh if most people don’t care about the disk, then i guess good they don’t need to pay for it. Reduce waste
But i bougtht the console for the disk feature and use it as media center.
I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.
Why wouldn’t they? Something like 93℅ of game sales are digital already. Physical games are almost extinct.
Oh I agree they should. Physical game sales are a PITA.
Why do they insist on making it so ugly?
Reading the first link, I can almost see them sniffing their own farts. How much do they get paid for this? I’m thinking of switching careers.
Fat PS3 are still the best console design.
I love it, it looks like a fish.
Ah so my waiting was worth it not buying the ps5 when it came out. Hurrah!
