So which one are you getting - PS5 or PS5 Digital?

[Dust]

I am really curious about this. I am discs until I am forced to go digital, but I am not an idiot and I see most of my friends are digital only pretty much, they are excited over the discless one.

So, which one?

 

[StraySheep]

Physical to the end.

 

[Theswweet]

It's literally more options. Why wouldn't I go with the disc drive?

 

[lupinko]

I need a 4K UHD BD player, so of course the regular PS5. Who wants Playstation SAD?

 

[Crayon]

I'm going to get ripped off for a disc drive.

 

[shenden]

I don't need more discs in my life

 

[vestan]

normal PS5

don't wanna screw myself over with those digital prices lol

 

[Psrock1]

Digital looks amazing

 

[Deleted member 25094]

I very, very rarely get discs. So likely the digital. But like the Switch and the Switch Lite, what if just that once I wanted a disc (like playing on the TV)? Maybe it's better to get the disc version just to be safe.

 

[Deleted member 50232]

Digital only of course.

Since i'm eventually gonna get both consoles, i wonder if there's ever gonna be an XBOX Series X "All Digital", and if so, if it's gonna be any sleeker.
Because with the Xbox One S All Digital, the design wasn't changed apart from the console losing the disc slot.

So going All Digital for the PS5 while using the Series X as a 4k bluray player feels somewhat reasonable.
Imho, the PS5 Digital Edition looks way better than the regular PS5.

I only buy digital games, but I want to keep having the option to buy a disc too. Standard.

 

[EggmaniMN]

Physical. I'd like to use it as a UHD disc player too. And I like collecting physical games because it lets me more easily remember what I have by looking at a shelf nearby than scrolling through a library in some menu.

 

[PapaJustify]

Digital if the price point is sexy enough and if there are no other drawbacks to the console (lower specs or sth). I am ready for all digital.

Edit: The poll is loaded btw.

 

[RayCharlizard]

I thought PS4 was the gen I'd go all digital but by the end I've still ended up with a couple of games on disc that were deals too good to pass up. Unless Sony plans on offering some sort of "disc to digital" program for people still buying collector's editions I just can't make the switch. This is coming from someone who still has a Blu-ray drive in their PC tower that gets used once a year or so, so I know I'm in the minority.

 

[Femto0]

None for now

 

[Amnixia]

Physical unless they do something stupid like $699 for the disc drive version and $499 for the digital only.
But I seriously doubt they'd do that.

 

[ClamBuster]

60 notes... beat a game in a week... ebay... 45 notes back in my account

and long may it continue

 

[Dullahan]

The disc version for Blu-ray movies. All my games will be digital.

 

[Indelible]

Definitely going physical, I like the option of selling old games to fund new ones.

 

[Rodelero]

If digital games were priced the same as retail games, I'd seriously consider the digital version.

Instead they are more expensive and you can't sell them. No thanks.

 

[Tetsujin]

Discs. I can get games cheaper than digital generally and also I need the disc drive for PS4 BC anyway lol

Also, I'll probably sell my 4K Player and use the console instead.

 

[Martinski]

Depends on the price points in my country. If the disc version will be something like $/€100+ more expensive it is an easy choice

 

[Zetran]

It would be a really hard choice if sony slash $100 out of regular version

 

[Xeonidus]

Disc for me. I don't have an ultra 4k player and a bunch of physical PS4 games as well. Next gen will probably be the end of physical for me though. And a whole host of other people I think.

 

[oni-link]

I need to see the cost of each unit and if the digital one has more internal space before I can decide

Probably the disc version as even if it costs a bit more, having the option doesn't hurt

I'm mostly digital now, but tend to get games like CoD cheap in CEX as I only care about the campaign, and CoD games tend to stay expensive on PSN whereas in CEX they're about £3 after a few years

 

[toy_brain]

Digital if I ever do buy one.
Everything has to install to the HDD anyway, so the disc drive itself is mostly redundant.

If I ever feel really price-sensitive I can just wait for a sale.

 

[Dan Thunder]

Physical until it's not an option for a number of reasons. It's easy for me to get physical titles, they often drop in price after a couple of months, I can sell them/lend them if I get bored and I can play Blu-Ray/4K discs.

If digital titles were 20-25% cheaper at release then I'd be tempted but it'd have to be something exceptional for me to pick a digital release over a physical copy.

 

[pappacone]

I only buy digital games, but I think my choice depends on the price gap

 

[JusDoIt]

I never want to buy a game disc again in my life. I haven't in 8 years. I'm getting the Digital Edition if it's not compromised in any other way aside from the optical drive.

 

[8bit]

Depends on whether there are other differences between the consoles, but if it's a choice of the same thing with or without a drive I'm digital.

 

[flattie]

Providing the specs are the same in all other respects, probably the digital version. I've been done with discs for some years now.

 

[Isee]

Not decided yet. If it's just a 20-30€ difference though, I would see no reason to leave an option behind.

 

[Papercuts]

I will mostly buy digital but I'm not locking myself into ONLY that. So many disc deals you miss out on, depending on their BC coverage I have A LOT of PS4 discs, etc. etc.

 

[Bojanglez]

I've gone all digital this gen, only put in 2 discs. KZ that came bundled with my launch and Horizon that came bundled with with my Pro. I own 3 4K Blu-Rays (Hunger games trilogy) and have watched them once on my XB1. I actually was saying in the past that I'd probably actually pay more for a disc-less version if it looked better.

So now the time has come to back this up with actions, I'm thinking 95% sure I'll go all digital....

unless they announce disc based backweards compatibility with PS1, PS2 or PS3

 

[Deleted member 543]

Disc.

I want to be able to sell games when done with them.

 

[Deleted member 33567]

disc version as I trade in Most of my old games. Also gives more choices to buy games at a cheaper price.

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

I like my physical collector's editions so disc drive it is for me

 

[Pizza Dog]

I'm hoping that it'll be backwards compatible with PS4 discs, so I'd go physical if I were to get one.

If somehow PS1-3 discs also work (I know they probably won't, but if they do) then the disc version just got a whole lot sexier

 

[LuigiV]

Undecided. Looks vs functionality, not sure yet. Guess I'm leaning more towards the regular edition since some of my PS4 titles are physical and I do want a 4K Blu-ray player.

 

[Brutalitops]

Can't think of a single reason to basically give one retailer the monopoly for all games sold on the system, so physical all the way.

 

[zuf]

No way I'm buying into Sony's digital ecosystem. You can't even get refunds yet for something you've downloaded and not played.

 

[Roshin]

I'm primarily a PC gamer. We left the plastic behind years ago. The digital PS5 is fine.

 

[Decarb]

Digital for symmetrical console.

 

[Number45]

I'll decide closer to the time, but it'll be decided by whether I feel I want a 4K Blu-ray player. Two years ago I'd have gone for it 100%... now I'm not sure.

I play fewer games for longer and the games I play generally I like to have installed without the need for a disc.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Physical 4 lyf

Digital only can suck deez nutz.

 

[Broken Hope]

Disk version and I already have a Panasonic UB9000 for UHD.

 

[Bishop89]

Normal.

Why would I lock myself down to one

 

[Demon-69]

The one that has both because some old games on the PS store so expensive compared to what I can get as a disc.
