With announcement of death of physical discs (RIP), here's what I intend to do!
I think everyone here is aware of the atrocious news of 'physical disc support will not be available for games coming from '28'. Sony kicked us in the nuts too hard with this one.
They first nailed the screw to us with the increase in PS Plus subscription and then screwed tightly with this announcement. We're fucked.
FYI, I also heard that xbox's project helix too won't have a disc drive... So we're truly in the end game, now.
I guess all big corporate companies' sole slogan/motto now is "you will own nothing and enjoy it"
Big L from them and to us.
I got my PS5 digital edition literally 3 months back and got disc drive 3 weeks ago hoping to unsubscribe ps plus and get in the world of disc.
Here's what I'm planning to do moving forward:
I won't plan to subscribe ps plus unless and until if I want to play a specific game which is available in catalogue and intend to finish it in that month.
I plan on buying the new and used discs for upcoming '27 games till the year end, if any. And also older games which I haven't played or want to re-visit.
Will never purchase digital games on day 1 or month 1. Will only purchase digital unless they are atleast - 20% off sale.
I'm not a big of a collector but I'll keep the discs of games that I like to revisit now and often.
I have a midrange gaming laptop, so I'll keep on claiming free games from epic games and will purchase low to mid end games on sale from steam, epic games.
I'm planning to use this PS5 for 5-7 years in future even they announce PS6 soon, unless they cutoff the support just like they're doing for PS4.
Also, for the ones who bought PS5 disc variants and disc drives recently, don't regret your decision. Y'all bought the consoles for gaming purpose and keep on gaming with any means necessary.
What's your take on this?
