Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?

I bit the bullet and cancelled my disc copy of mlb the show 24 and bought the digital, I guess I have to take the leap eventually and start with one game at a time.

Re: Your thoughts on digital games versus owning them?

Are all PS5 games available for digital? I have considered buying a second PS5, the one that's discless digital only.

To my knowledge yes

That's a good question and I'm not sure. I found myself going back and buying a bunch of older PS3 games I had sold even after I got a PS5. Both of my sons each have an Xbox Series X and they love the digital copies. Neither of them ever want a physical copy of a game now. When I see the ease of how they switch back and forth, it does seem like a good idea.

Digital all the things. Last physical game I bought was Rock Band 4. Last Blu-Ray I bought was The Martian.

Our Blu-Rays are in a box next to our DVDs in the garage from when we moved in 2016 and never got unpacked.

That was also the year we cut the cord and haven't had a non-streaming TV service since.

There are pluses and minuses, but I have no regrets.

Have a healthy PC library and enjoy my console / PC game subscriptions as needed.

Physical for life. I will, however, purchase sports games digitally for convenience. I can go back and get a physical copy of a sports game dirt cheap a year or two down the road. The digital version will get delisted or never see a price drop after a period of time.

On non games media I've actually started buying more Blu rays again. Things are so fragmented that I'd rather just buy what I want so I don't have to figure out which streaming service it's on.

I did that and kinda wished I had sprung for the extra hundo on the disc version.

Yeah, I could have gotten a PS5 a lot quicker than I did if I hadn't wanted to wait for the disc version. I just have so many PS4 physical edition games, it made more sense in my mind to pass on the digital PS5. But I'm ready for one now.
