Why would you buy a digital over one with a disc drive with the exception of a cheaper price? I literally know nothing about these things these days.
I'd be Fifa, GTA, a racing game and maybe one or two others. Wrestling perhaps too. But mainly football.
Also be aware that going digital only reduces your buying power. You're restricted to digital only outlets, and for some titles, particularly the smaller ones, I have only ever seen the PlayStation Store carrying them, so you pay whatever they list them at.
With a disc you can still take advantage of digital sales, plus grabbing discs when on offer or even second hand.
A key example of this is pre orders. Sony will want £60 or so digitally, whereas on disc you may pay £40 for pre order as Amazon, Argos, game, Tesco, asda, shopto and others compete for your order. So far Sony have been restrictive over availability of digital keys via non Sony outlets and I don't see this changing. They have a monopoly on digital ps4 sales. Microsoft isn't so bad as deals do crop up for keys on cdkeys and others, but it's a similar situation.
Personally I have too much of a backlog, and also too many bad launch console experiences (2 x red ring of death xbox 360s and a yellow light of death PS3) to jump right in, although admittedly this generation have resorted confidence in hardware build quality.
Happy to wait a year or two.
Having things on disc means you can buy, sell and swap games + use any backward compatible old discs. If you go digital you have only the option of buying the download from the official store.
The future is digital but some people like to have something tangible and like to be able to use their old games.
I think when a game costs you 60/70 quid and once you have finished with it or don’t enjoy it, getting 30/40 quid back on it to put towards a new game is appealing.I don’t buy CDs, DVDs or even books anymore. Surely gaming goes the same way?
Enjoy a bit of Forza horizon 4, a few in here recommend F1 2020 too but not played that myself.Have there been any good racing games recently? Used to love the original gran tirismo, but it’s been an age since I’ve played one.
Played about 10 hours of Stellaris and really struggling to get into it.
Problem with digital only is the games are increasing digitally to £70+ per game. So from what they lose on hardware they will soon make up in money from their digital store. Also means no more buying second hand games for a fraction of the cost. I may buy the disk version just so I can have a blu-ray player as well.
I’ve never not been able to buy a game I wanted digitally. The PS Store has millions of titles, 95% of which I’ve never heard of, from massive titles to little indie games for a tenner.Are all games on digital and disc?
I managed to snag a disc version, I’m selling my PS4 for £104 at cex so brings it down to the digital version price I’m happy with that best of both worlds and 4K player to boot. Also going for a new PC as well as mine is dying in its arse, the new nvidia 3000 series look great and with the steaming app included I might delve into that a bit as well. Just don’t tell the wifeI'm not sure I've posted my PS5 stance, but I'm definitely waiting until after christmas, probably the 2nd or 3rd wave of the machine. Nothing announced for launch excites me, I only really want Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU2 for PS5, as I've purposely not bought them on PS4
There’s a few PS4 games that I really enjoy, or would enjoy but for the loading times. As an example I love Cricket 19 but there’s a 2 or 3 minute load time for each game which ruins it for me. On the PS5, the exact same game will have almost instant load times.I'm not sure I've posted my PS5 stance, but I'm definitely waiting until after christmas, probably the 2nd or 3rd wave of the machine.

Pardon?Having an interesting chat with a very old friend from back in the JTAG-RGH/Firmware flashing days (i'd just dug out my glitched 360 and wanted to play Fall out New Vegas and the DLC) He was a bit of a wizard of the scene and told me people were running all kinds of unsigned code on Nintendo Switch...how did they defeat this consoles security?...by shorting out to pins in the joycon area and getting it into recovery mode. I imagine that would save parents £100s and cost the console dearly in pirated games.
