With the PS5 and Xbox Series X out, itβs time to talk about consoles...eh fuck it. Weβre not here to talk about the Xbox, no one cares about that console here. Weβre talking about PS5 and the two different versions they have. You can buy the digital only PS5 for $400, while you can get the digital and disc version for $500. I never even thought they would make something like this, but now that they have, Iβm wondering do I even care about having game discs anymore?
The PS5 gives you a choice of having a console that only lets you play digital games and a console that lets you play both digital or physical games. Now, Iβve been a physical copy boy forever. Since I was born in the age where digitally downloading games onto your system wasnβt a thing, Iβve been stuck on buying the physical copy. But let be honest, game disc cases take up space, and the more games you buy, the more space youβre losing. At this point, I think I just buy discs because Iβm used to it. It feels weird to buy digital games instead of physical for me, itβs almost like I donβt even have the game.
Change is always hard, but if Iβm going to save $100, maybe change isnβt bad. Collecting discs is cool, but it takes up space. Iβve never broken a game before, but buying it digitally would make sure I never break my game. If I buy the game digitally, I donβt have to wait a day or two for it to ship, or waste gas money to go to the store. Digital just has way more benefits to not consider it at this point. PS5 might have changed my way of purchasing games.
What do you like more, physical copies or digital ones? What version of the PS5 are you getting? Do you care about the Xbox Series X? Tell us in the comments.
That's because you don't have the game if it's digital. Do yourself a favor and look up what happened to Kindle owners with their digitally purchased books (those paper things that take up WAAAY more space than a video game). Once the people in charge of Kindle went "this is gone"...
I personally like displaying what I own and having the option to sell it. Iβll only buy digital if the disc is way more expensive or not an option.
