Imagine buying a console where you only have one store to buy your games XD. In 2-3 years were gonna get the inevitable threads "Why is this old game still $70?!" Don't complain about prices later when you bought a console with no competing storefronts.
PC is even better because even if you want a game on Steam you can still buy the key on other storefronts, not just on Steam. They got multiple storefronts and multiple places to buy keys for those storefronts.Funny how on the PC side people complain there are too many stores now and get pissed when a game isn't on Steam.

Its nowhere near the same level and the prices aren't even comparable. Its so minuscule its barely even worth mentioning lol, 99% of the digital purchases on the DE PS5 will be from PSN.I've seen PS and XBOX keys on other storefronts.
You're going to pay more in the long run for games if you go digital. Sales on physical games go lower, happen more frequently, and happen earlier than waiting for digital game sales. If you don't care about sales or spending money on games, then picking the less expensive ps5 option shouldn't matter. It's a fool's choice if you ask me.
Both PS5 DE and Series S are bad buys. You’re not really saving money.
Perhaps, but I would wager that the $100 they've sliced off the MSRP is a lot more than the cost of the BD Drive. I'm sure they would also prefer not to take much more of a loss than they already are.More like polls showing much lower interest, and making Sony decide the production ratio.
Especially since the code that is on the disc is always patched day one after being installed on the console storage anyways.Optical media is the worst.
???It is not. I think you are comparing max theoretical decompression speed epeen, which is something rather different.
Have you entered in the PS store? There are different discounts all the weeks. Even if there are no other store competence they always have new offers.Imagine buying a console where you only have one store to buy your games XD.

It doesn't matter whether or not your happy with the amount of sales on PSN or not, the fact is you get way less sales than any other method of buying games.Have you entered in the PS store?

Do you think Steam only started to make offers because Epic store appeared? No, they always did. Ps store is the same.
As a Gamepass box, the XSS is terrific value, because you save money on hardware, and have access to the fantastic value Gamepass offers. But, if you’re after 4k, and not interested in Gamepass, it’s a terrible proposition because you’re locking yourself in to Xbox Live as your sole source of games.
The PS5 doesn’t have a Gamepass equivalent, and the PS5 classic is only $100 more. As Sony themselves showed with the PS4 Game Sharing video, the PS5 DE is a pretty terrible option that locks you in to the PS Store. With Sony jacking up their prices, being locked into the PS Store for all your content is going to cost you exponentially more than you save. Without Gamepass, the PS5 DE is a bad deal that exists so Sony can stick a lower price point in their advertising.
Yeah, it doesn't usually work out too well for people who say the PS5 is "9.2 - 10.3 TF" but that's what that math would be implyingCan i ask where this (upper bound) 25% is coming from exactly?
To all PS5 digital haters:
Have you ever shared a PS4 digital game with a friend?????Meaning: Splitting the costs for a game. You know you can have 1 PSN account on 2 systems, which means: Every brand new game you buy together on PS Store costs only 30$ each? E.g. You share the costs for 1 game, you buy and download the game, he then logs into your account, downloads the game on his PS4 as well and can play it with his own account.
When days gone (10$) or SOTC (10$) was on sale in the PS Store, I only paid 5$ each, because they were on sale on PS Store and we shared the costs.
