PS5 digital vs disc

Dan

Not sure which one I should buy. Which one do you guys have ?

With my PS4 I barely downloaded any games, I bought all of them as a disc. Mainly because I thought I can then sell it again or borrow it to a friend. But with most games being online now, that is probably not a reason anymore.

  • I usually buy disc version of a game for few reasons. Physical discs are an excellent way to promote game preservation. If a game is delisted or you no longer have access to digital copy, well, you have a disc which also can be become a collectible appreciating in value. Discs can also be resold or lent to friends. Disc versions also tend to go on sale much faster and for less due to retailer stock control often getting really good deals if a retailer needs to create space for other games or products. Lastly, if internet is down you can put in the disc and download without it. The only time i don't  mind buying digital is if it is multiplayer only and it is cheaper. Multiplayer only games are usually going to dwindle in player count or the game publishers/devs will shut down servers making the game unplayable unless you are on pc where privately hosted and paid servers are allowed by them.
