This thread is to show case why people should still buy physical versions of games when ever possible, demonstrated with Gran Turismo 7.
Please post the best deal for physical version you can find in your country.

Sweden
PlayStation Store:

Physical (PS4):

+100kr for upgrade = 599.
140kr difference (20% difference in price)

Physical (PS5): (updated)

149kr difference (22% difference in price)

Looking at these prices it looks like I will go with PS4 version.
I have a hunch there might be some discounts for Day 1 disc versions still incoming....

Yes, digital prices for Sony published games are ridiculous here (Germany). Even more shocking, the physical prices aren't much better either.

Why do you keep doing this for ps5?? Everyone knows this and it’s nothing to do with physical vs digital.

It’s all to do with the fact that Sony have a monopoly on their digital sales and do not allow other vendors to sell digital licences. It’s the complete opposite situation on Xbox and pc.

These are Aussie prices:

Meanwhile I'm picking up the Standard edition hard copy for $89AUD.

 

[Spukc]

it always cracks me up when people spend extra on some BS super duper edition

60 will basically net you fuck all and you should thank ubicrap on your knees that it includes the game.

meanwhile the so called ultimate edition was on sale for what.. 15?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Do these threads only happen for Sony games or ?

 

[AV]

I'm with you, but we don't need one of these literally every time Sony release a new game.

@OP that's super cheap, cheapest I could find is 1750CZK ~70 EUR PS4 Boxed.

 

[RafterXL]

Just don't buy Sony PS5 games at launch...period. Their pricing is shit and I won't reward them for it.

People who doesn't care about other platforms doesn't know that.

44,95€ in Finland for PS4 boxed

This headline makes no sense.

Anniversary comes with a ps5 physical disc, and a ps4 code. Buy it, sell ps4 code.

 

[scalman]

Its shame they dont using digital form many good things like some kind of early access or demos. I would buy any early access game that i like and waiting early just to try it out.
Dont using any physical forms since ps3 and never will anymore. Just they could give it more options and more posibilities.

Finland

Physical:

 

[Damigos]

99 euros in Greece for the ultimate edition
I have gone full digital not because of prices (though digital sales are far better than phusical ones) or availability (though with covid that is an issue), but because of space.
I simply dont have the space to put any more physical cases or even worse collector ones.

Yes I'm doing my best to make Sony top the most important metrics, Physical UK charts. /s

If you do this you lose all the goodies from the anniversary edition.

 

[Beer Baelly]

25th edition has the same price in my country sooooo digital it is.

Physical:

Great prices.

 

[DJ12]

Certain games need pride of place on the internal sdd and not require a disc to spin up at any time.

This is one of them. Bought the anniversary edition cause why the flip not.

This game is the only reason I bust a nut to buy a ps5 last Christmas could've waited longer for sure without gt7.

I'm sorry for your loss. Damn stuffs so expensive in AUS.

The entitlements may be part of the same code that nets you the PS4 version.... BUT it would still be worth it to do this.

I wonder if you could also "upgrade" your digital PS4 version to PS5 so you don't have to hear the ridiculous sound of that disc drive. Probably not.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Game Collection is £61. They are normally cheaper. I bet Sony has suggested a specific RRP this time.

Gran Turismo 7 (PS5)

Gran Turismo® 7 brings together the very best features of the Real Driving Simulator. Whether you’re a competitive or casual racer, collector, tuner, livery designer, or photographer –find your line with a staggering collection of game

Can confirm that the code used for the PS4 version is the same code that nets you all of your preorder bonuses and entitlements. Sadly, the code can't be upgraded to the PS5 version through the PlayStation Store.

Got mine for £58 from them a few weeks ago. I used them a few times and they normally ship early. Fingers crossed.

 

[PropellerEar]

Day 1 PS5 physical ...

Had 100kr voucher to power...
So all in all 490kr for GT7.

I personally hope someone starts a new thread about this topic every time a new first-party Sony game is released.
