Music & blu ray? That's ancient stuff buddy 😂 I have a disc drive PS5 with zero disc games, literally ZERO. So I can absolutely care less about a disc drive, keep crying, keep coping, you're probably broke anyway & can't afford a Pro
I am an old-school fan of physical media, but at this point, it is clear that physical is dead. The worst issue is that the games on the discs are often released in a state so buggy and unfinished that they may be unplayable without the day-1 patch. Which kind of renders the whole "not being dependent on an online service" thing pointless. The only actual advantage that physical media currently gives is actual ownership - nobody can prevent me from selling that disc, or playing it whenever I want. But that's about it. I think the way forward is probably GoG - where games can be bought digitally without DRM. Which means actual ownership too; the freedom to create backups, store it on as many devices as I want etc. Unfortunately this would also mean no longer playing on console. Sad but definitely a possibility.
@@bellissimo4520 Thank you!! someone who understands gaming. This digital crap is killing the gaming industry. The companies are pushing it so they can come out with remastered games instead of investing in New games. They don’t want u to play games once they stop supporting it. This is why physical games and disc drives are so important
Hey bro listen when you bought the game in disc Wright you do need to wait to download complete so I can start the game with out downloading complete and if buy digital you have download completely and soma game take even more then few hours plust you download the day one patch but physical you can download the game. More faster and the it doesn't require internet and if there day one patch you just need to download the patch plus if the game did not download completely you can play some in the game but there nothing you can do on digital you have download completely if the game is big like rdr2 I did not know how many day's it require to download the full game if you have faster internet if you internet sucks you need wait for the game to download several days until then you can not play and if there patch that also need to wait you you see huge disadvantage of digital game unless you have faster internet if not I am sorry you wait more then one hour even ps5 Has sad which download quick quicker but it still depends on internet
@@vaylanjayakumar We understand your point. And our point is that they need to stop these danm downloads when we have a physical game. Day one patch and all! This needs to stop. If you own a disc, then it should play the complete game on day 1 with no downloads! We want the entire physical games back. We want it to just play! Paying 70$ for a game and having it still need digital space is just silly. I can still pop in my Nintendo games and they still work fully! We want that back. Digital is killing the industry. If it cant fit on one disc, They need to include 2 discs in the case. One for multiplayer and one with the campaign mode
@@tellinustr8up and this is why Nintendo will always win because they know what true video game players want and stick to the old ways that gaming used to be with physical media and pushing the fun factor first and foremost

Digital-only gaming is just a way for companies like Sony and developers to cut production costs and bypass retailers to maximize profits. By removing physical discs, they eliminate the second-hand market, meaning we, the consumers, lose the ability to trade or buy used games to save money. PC gaming already went this route with platforms like Steam, forcing us into a system where we don’t truly own what we pay for. Yes, I know you can buy a disc drive separately (which is ridiculous, by the way), but I doubt the next generation will even include disc drives at all. It seems like Sony is trying to slowly wean us off physical discs and get us used to digital-only. This shift isn’t about convenience-it’s about greed, and it’s hurting consumers by taking away options and locking us into overpriced ecosystems. If this is gaming’s future, I’m out.
Personally, I have a small collection of PS4/5 games on physical media. I've only bought digital games over the past few years and don't see that changing. However, I consider my PS to be part of my living-room entertainment. Years ago, I switched over to Netflix for all my movie viewing. As this market has became saturated with different choices, with me having multiple seperate subscriptions - I STILL can't find some movies that I want to watch on the ones I do pay for. So, I've went back to building up a blu-ray collection. I use my PS5 disk drive for watching blu-rays quite often now, and I don't see that changing when a PS6 comes along - so, I will expect a disk drive option to be available, even if I have to purchase it separately. However, I'm sure that Sony won't consider my kind of case when it comes to future decisions - as they don't make the money of most of the blu-rays I do buy.....
Problem now for me in the Netherlands I can't buy a disc drive. Shops tell me they haven't heard anything from Sony about a restock. And there is 1 here on marketplace for a whopping 600 euro.. I just wanna play my disc games :(
What about those gamers who had their entire digital games deleted, from what I heard. Its ALL about CONTROL they can give and take away digital and you ain't got a leg to stand on to say otherwise. Physical all the way.
What about if the physical stop the support online and it becomes just a wasted disc??? We have to understand that everything has changed and it will be that way in future, we like it or not!!!
All digital consoles will be the final nail in the coffin...ps5 probably going to be the least selling home console of sony. PS3 sold 87mil.... lifetime.. PS5 67mil lifetime would be 75-82mil.. Xbox is already dead.pc hardware sales decline 13% . There is reason why valve is in hardware buisness.. people want cheap consoles. Those who want power already moved to PC.. Sony needs to be very careful with ps6
Bro it boggles my mind people are so against physical games. As if I’m gonna churn out ridiculous prices for games on the Ps store that barely go down in price. You can get games at way better deals at stores, plus you’re not hindered by any digital fuckery that can occur with digital only media. It’s a fat L across the board
Like to know what the sales for the optional disk drive was since Pro went on sale. I bought a drive for my Pro pre order. PS is my favorite platform but if PS6 is digital only I'm done with PS and I'll just go all in on the next Switch. I don't do digital games.
Nonsense!!! Physical games doesn’t exist anymore, cause the discs are just license to download the digital game!!! People should stop to complaint and just enjoy tech as it evolve!!!
The games industry has been TRYING to push digital only for decades. They want to charge the same price for games even if you don't get a physical copy
My theory is that Sony understands that people who buy disc drives usually sell their games. Saving upwards to 30 bucks in my case for new releases. So Sony covers the cost of those lost sales from the used game market by having an initial upfront cost for the drive itself. I havent bought a Sony 1st party full price since I sell my old games. Cant sell digital games and discounts on digital games are few and far in-between let alone on a new release.
I’ve got a lot of ps4 and ps5 games physical as I can trade in what I don’t want and also lend it to my friends and family on top of that I have 4K blue ray films as you get the best possible version of these films I understand the change in trend but I prefer to own the games that I buy as is with a digitally copy if they were to revoke the the license your up shits creek with out a paddle I will be upgrading but I will also get the disk drive when I get the the pro
@princephillip1481 Please don't complain in the future businessmen. Im not that into games anymore because of age and other hobbies, so digital won't bother me much in the future.
I have a large 4k and Bluray movie collection, I will get a PS5 Pro if it benefits PSVR2 but from what I've seen so far the Pro seems pretty underwhelming. The reason PS5 Pro doesn't have a disk drive is because Profit.
If you buy games digital, you don’t own them. They can ban your account. It’s better to get physical games. I was dumb to buy some digital games. Some people can hack your account and sell it.
Bro for I important disc drive because I like to play physical with the game that I holding And then it also can use to see movies and streaming so all digital ps5 pro it not worth it for me because even do I have internet but my internet not good so I like going digital
I don’t understand why people bother with digital games that can have error, be uninstalled buy publisher and have No ownership of what so ever it is basically theft the fact the you can buy digital and have it disappear by next week with no refund is ridiculous. Why are gamers so lazy “ I don’t want to go to a store and buy disc that I 100% own “ or “getting up changing disc is too much effort “ imagine paying full price for a game and having no access to it because servers are down look at what happened when PSN send down for 24hrs !
With the discs can happens the same!!! If they stop supporting the media, then the disc will become obsolete and you have a peace of plastic that doesn’t work at all!!
@@WateringDNami As long as you can replace it and download the game again!!! But a piece of plastic that is no longer supported or broken, there is no fix to that!!!
You digital fans make me laugh. You're just saying Sony take my money please😂 I don't get how you don't realise that you save money when you buy physical copies because you can get them preowned. Ever consider that physical media sales aren't accurately reflected in stats given that people often buy from the used games market?🤷🤦♂️ I have about 20 ps5 games and I spent way under £30 for each of them. Some of my ps5 games cost me as little as £9. My most expensive ps5 game is probably £23. You can't say that when you're buying games digitally. The idea of spending £60 on a game is crazy to me. Spider man Miles Morales is about £60 even today in 2024. I got a prestige copy of the game for about £15 well technically I traded in a game so it was like I did a direct swap. I traded in walking dead destinies which was £23 on sale and I traded it in at a different store and got £15 store credit which I used to get Miles Morales.
Good luck thinking that those discs will still playing in years to come, cause there is not any physical game since long time ago!!! That is just the license and if Sony doesn’t supports that in future, your discs become obsolete as the digital…
Man this is not p.c just because p.c users don't have a drive does not mean PS5 or Xbox shouldn't have one console should always have a disks drive no matter what is all you p.c users moving in and messing things up for US who collect video games when fisical die I'm going along with it cause of I can't buy fisical I'll leave PS5 and go to Nintendo
