    No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won’t without a disk drive.

      Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.

        The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.

          awesome! just double-check that it’s compatible with the new one before dropping the extra $80! Nothing about the Pro is official yet, so we still gotta wait and see.

        Ehhh if most people don’t care about the disk, then i guess good they don’t need to pay for it. Reduce waste

        But i bougtht the console for the disk feature and use it as media center.

        I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.

      the hardware design team is so far up their own asses with the PS5 design. Here’s two articles where you can read how high they are on their own supply: One, Two
