Yeah. The reason it's a whole $100 cheaper when the disk drive is only maybe $25-40 of hardware is because digital games must be bought through PSN so Sony can take a bigger hit knowing they cut a cut of every game you buy.

People saying they might get the Series X I can almost understand. It is an Xbox after all but it might utilise the hardware inside well even if it has the weird ram again.

The series s however is just a :?: from me. It is weaker in all ways and not as good as the One X in many aspects which is a console from the last gen. plus only has 512gb of storage. I am baffled.

Games drop to $20 all the time that are still $60 digital. 3 times and now you are behind. If digital games were heavily discounted, as they should be, then it's a different story. But when they cost more than physical, there is no reason to save $100 up front.

This would only make sense to me if the console had a robot arm to grab a new disc and insert it itself

I will gladly pay the extra $40 to not have to get up from the couch when switching games

I bought a ps4 in 2015 and bought my first ever physical copy of a game (doom eternal) a week ago, only to learn it still takes up loving hard drive space? What is the goddamn point?

I only buy good games so why would I sell them?

I buy more digital than physical but I like physical because I have a collection and in here physical drops faster on almost every game than digital so I can get an exclusive for my collection cheaper before digital gets to let's say the "25€" mark as an example.

I have a bunch of games both digital and physical like Bloodborne and all three Dark Souls, Nioh, etc...

I heard the PS5 camera won't work with current PSVR, could be wrong though. Point is, your current PSVR setup will work with PS5 provided you get the bit to attach it to your PS5 (which might come with the console, I don't know)

Yeah but canonically Hogwarts was well behind in adapting plumbing, because they were just so used to making GBS threads on the floor.

I only saw 18, I didn't notice it was 1800s instead of 18th century though.

That's only because of the UK's weird grocery store centralized game marketplace though. They're the same price digital/physical most other places.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Being honest, it wasn't all that bad.

Demon's Souls looks phenomenal and is exclusive.

God of War 2 being released in the not so distant future is great too since the predecessor was arguably the best game Sony's ever released.

And while they may be on PC, if you just prefer the pick up and play nature of a console/don't have a computer hooked up to your TV then Final Fantasy XVI and Deathloop look like super solid games.

Playstation Plus service looks solid for a way for Sony to dip its toes into something resembling Gamepass.

The price isn't a homerun but isn't a strike either. It's satisfactory.

The system also has PS4 backwards compatibility.

Harry Potter is a solid draw for people who aren't goonlords or are not aware or indifferent to the controversy (which is sadly the lionshare of people).

It wasn't the best showing in the world but it is definitely one of the better ones. But like with all conferences we don't know how things will play out as we don't know how these games will be. Remember the Switch reveal? It was hated on both hardware and software. But people didn't realize that Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Arms, and Xenoblade 2 would come out so soon and be as good as they were. Then again look at the "E3 of Dreams": The Last Guardian was disappointing, Final Fantasy VII took a while to come out and had mix reception among fans, and Shenmue III was LMAO. Only time will tell, but so far things are looking good.

all physical games I have bought in past 2 years were always a fraction of the cost of them new, or the ones I didn't buy used were also cheaper than digital!
