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.
i mean…you could always buy the add-on disc drive? Assuming that it is still compatible with the Pro, not sure why it wouldn’t be. They get to fleece physical media heads for an extra $80, that’s a win for Sony.
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.
Why wouldn’t they? Something like 93℅ of game sales are digital already. Physical games are almost extinct.
Oh I agree they should. Physical game sales are a PITA.
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 did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.
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.
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.
Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.
Why do they insist on making it so ugly?
Fat PS3 are still the best console design.
I love it, it looks like a fish.
