No reason a digital game should be even equal price as a physical copy. Digital prices should be at least $10-$15 cheaper than the disc version
then the disc version would be useless cause anyone can just get a cheaper version of it
Been a strict physical disc collector since Ps3 until Ps4...but during the pandemic I realized how convenient digital purchases are (tends to be way cheaper than physical copies in my country)...now 80% of my purchases are digital. I'm considering going full digital for the Ps5 to save shelf space. I got enough clutter for my other hobbies so better not add more. Remember nothing in this world is permanent, physical or digital. That's something I realized during the pandemic too :)
Man shut up.
U can resell physical disk and buy new ones in digital it is not possible
if you want to be more compact, save space and have a free mind then yes. In long term this is gonna cost you money.

I’ve just collected Gta1 and Gta2 down the line the value for this Rockstar product will rise.
Can’t remember the last time I used a disc so literally pointless for me to go for the disc version
I have ps5 digital
Same. My ps4 stopped reading discs in 2017-18 for some reason so ever since then I just been buying and playing digital games
So you give Sony a monopoly
Cheap games* left the chat in your case
@@mdudegamer9765same i have also ps5 digital
I've always been physical over digital especially for the bigger releases hence why I bought the disc version at Launch, however the fact that more than half my library are on PS Plus Extra/Premium anyway and will bound to be more in time has convinced me to gradually switch over. Its only a matter of time before all new consoles will have no physical media IMO whether we like it or not.
I have the disc one, most of my PS4 games are physical and I just like having the option of both 😊
not to mention ps4 games are cheap
facts @@MrAlternation
can you play ps2 games on ps5?
@@timothydavis9413nope m8. Only ps4 games
can we run the digital games on a ps5 disc version ?? or like the disc version is only limited to disc games??
Occasionally some games are banned in certain countries. This is where the disk version reigns supreme as you won’t be able to download them online.
The disc version is actually better because you get the best of both worlds. Digital limits you to just digital
This is the exact reason I am going to get a disc version. Suppose they decide to remove a game from the store that you really want to play, what would you do then? Best to go with the one where you can enjoy both worlds.
Thanks. i wanted 2 ask this, but you answered my question 😂💪🏽
Plus you can play both disc and digital games, I have a disc version PS5 lol. don’t know why this guy said disc PS5 can’t play digital, because you can
Lol the guy making the videos made it seem like the disc version only plays disks 😂
Great video, i needed this
I like both editions but I prefer the standard edition because most of the games I have are physical so I need the console's disc compatible. The digital is great but I'd regret it if I buy that since I'm not consistent of getting digital games. Although the PS5 is a powerful console so I have my own several pros about it. But just one thing that I didn't like is there's not enough storage so it's like I need an SSD.
What racing game was you playing in the beginning of video was it gran turismo?
Yep, just gonna focus on digital, that way I can go right for the storage expansion.
I'm using this as a refernce for the PS5 Slim, so from the pros and cons I heard, I'll get physical for the reseason for a cheap cost for games and the passing games with friends
Kind of wish they had the different color options for the digital version also vs only having them on the disc version on the playstation website
i find the only issue is storage on the PS5 regardless of type and the games for PS5 cost so much especially the newer releases and insane install size needed
I Just load 6 games at a time and delete/Reinstall after that .
My internet reinstalls my save games from PS library in 10 min .
Let Sony cloud store my games not me .
2TB could not store my Ps4 disc collection anyways .
@@Crashed131963 i use the cloud to yes still not enough storage lol
Cries in full 4TB ssd on my PC and full PS4 storage, storage will always be the limiting factor as storage becomes cheaper games will become bigger to take advantage of it
I was always disc because I could return games I didn't like within 7 days. But digital is taking over. I'll be copping mine soon, finally 😂
He is one thing not mentioned (sorry if i was a did i missed it) but if you buy a ps5 disc, e.g. sackboy, then you ONLY have access to ps5 version. If you buy digital, then you basiaclly have the same game twice as you have both ps5/4 versions and most come with separate trophies. meaning if you really enjoyed that game, it is an incentive to go through it again.
I bought the digital version because game shops in my country don't sell physical copies of games that i'm into which are jrpgs, they only sell triple A and shooting games.
What country is that?
Amazon , Ebay and Best Buy only sell games in dicc form .
@@Crashed131963
And Walmart !
Just bought my first PS5 disc ever! so excited to receive it. Any tips for beginners at Playstation?😂
Avoid physical games, because Sony and Microsoft are updating system software with a virus malware bug stopping some physical games from working intentionally forcing users to buy digital games, physical is a scam
It is clear the disc version is the best one for long term value, not being able to get games outside of playstation store , not to mention no reselling of used games plus not being able to get cheaper used games makes digital version overall more expensive to own.
So in disc ps5 we could later buy games if cd drive does not work?
I have the disc version. I still download a lot of my games but still don't regret getting that version.
I bought a used disc game of "Jedi Fallen Order" for $15 Canadian .
The Digital version is $58.

That’s what i did like what if I wanna watch movies ? Not all about just games because you can still buy digital lol
@@muthaphukinpimp I just bought a used disc of "Spiderman Miles Morales" from a bargain bin for $20 Canadian.
That game in digital version cost $89 .
Black Friday, I seen more disc that was on sale. Plus like mentioned, you can play Blu-ray Disc movies.
Major advantage to disc version is being able to rent games from my massive library county system. I play all of the new games for free, for as long as I want.
But wait … he talks like with the Disk edition cant have digital games ! The Disk edition is the digital edition + Disk ! You have both options available. So of course is a better choice , right ? You can Download digital games as well with the Disk edition ! Simple as that. You just have more options with the Disk edition!
thanks for this, idk why it was confusing me so much😂
@@ididntask4514bro thats why digital is cheaper there is no compare dogital os worthy for not having disc because it is cheaper and disc is worthy because it has disc
Thank you I was confused by that.
Your comment helped me decide! Thank you🎉
you thought is the best. i decided to get the disc version
I have the diac version and I just love it
Im new here.
If i buy the disc version, can i still download digital games or does it only support disc games?
If you buy a disc version, you’ll still be able to buy digital games
My library is 90%digital, and 10% physical for good prices. Like I found Dtar Wars Jedi Survivor physically for under $30. However, I bought Tom Clancy Wildlands Ultimate Bundle, HZD Complete Edition all on sale under $25 digitally. I got the disc version that way I can get which ever is cheaper. I've bought multiple bundled/ complete/ultimate games under $25 which also don't require ps plus.
@@dujanecarey900 when people say you can get digital games as well do they mean any digital game like spider man asw or can you only digitally get games like fortnite which you cant get disc version, is buying and downloading games digitally on disc version the same as buying and downloading games on digital ps5
My biggest problem is my ps4 I am constantly deleting things to make space for new games. So storage concerns me, but extra $200 for extra storage seems like allot and is it necessary.
I have never had a console so I’m coming from a different point of view. What would you guys recommend the disc or digital?
It’s all opinion honestly, If you are a PC gamer then you most likely use digital games so the digital edition makes more sense. You also don’t have to worry about losing or breaking discs. But you can find super good used game disc deals
Digital all day!!!!!
Digital because it’s same as ps5 but without disc for cheaper and you had pc so all you played were digital games
I have several consoles that are disc based iam going digital this gen best move I made
Exactly the channel I was looking for.
Thanks for this! After not beeing able to use my card on e shop anymore I’m gonna go from Nintendo to PlayStation because I’m so pissed of that this problem can’t be solved on Nintendo.
tbh the ps5 controller resembles the ps2 controller, i mean the ps2 has these push functions on the buttons and the ps5 has adaptive triggers and haptic vibrations and when the mute button on the ps5 is on it looks like the ps2 analog lights, you know the red light that lights up when playing on ps2
Am I missing something or all the pros of digital version would be there with the disc version too..
They are. The dude just wanted to make a long video and had no ideas what to be about.
@@mr.a.7977😂
I'm currently saving up for a PS5 and my local Walmart has the disc edition for $499 which is what I want. I have a dresser drawer that I keep games in and I like having a collection in there.

That $100 savings is a fart in the win when your a slave to PS digital store only .
On the contrary, I also bought Jedi Fallen Order for the PS5 in mid-2022 and bought it for $20 CAD, not that far in price from your copy. PS Store has frequent sales + an element of luck too with the timing of my purchase I suppose haha
@@ubcyacht755 Who wants to wait for a sale.
Last week I bought *Spiderman Miles Morales* for $15 at a pawn shop bin.
PS store want $89 for that game in Canada.
Witcher 3 is still $79 in Canada to download. That disc game is no more than $20 from bins all year long .
I can go on and on and on...
Noob question - can you also download digital games on the disc console?
Yes
I have the ps5 disc version because it is always fun to kick up a good ps4 game that I have on disc. Also, I own GTA 5 ps4 version on disc so it worked out for me. Its really down to preferences of the bulkiness of the console.

Many ps4 disc games get the free ps5 upgrade now .
@Crashed131963 exactly! I knew I was going to buy the disc version from when I first saw it. Tbh, the design of the console really isn't that much bigger than the digital. Also, it's nostalgic to pick up the game case. Pop that shit open and put the disc into the drive.
So the ps5 disc version plays ps4 games? Thats cool
@@GoCards1983 Better yet many ps4 disc Games get the free PS store Ps5 upgrade.
I bought the used Ps4 disc of Jedi Fallen Order and got the free Ps5 upgrade that plays at 1440p/60 fps rather than the normal 1080p/30 fps.
I bought a Ps5 to play my Ps4 disc collects. Ps4 Games are better with 5X faster loading times .
What's the difference? (AND I WANT The Slim model)
With the disc version, you can still download games, right? So how is this a pro for the digital version? The disc version lets you download or play discs.
Significantly cheaper
Significantly cheaper
Great video but is it just me that is kinda irked by the scratches on the ps5 used?
These are the considerations that led me to a PS5 Digital Edition purchase over the disc version:
1. I haven't owned a Sony console since the original PlayStation, so I don't have a library of PS4 discs coming over with me to the PS5.
2. I prefer the convenience of digital ownership. The games I want to play are right there on my console.
3. Storage expansions for PS5 are a lot cheaper than the ones for Xbox Series consoles. I bought a 2 TB SSD with a heatsink for just $150. (That same price will get you a 1 TB card for Xbox.)
4. The PS5 Digital Edition is sleek and symmetrical. It doesn't have that unsightly disc drive bulge on one side.
You don’t actually own any of your digital games tho. You do actually own your physical games tho.
@@chadbear8759 I see what you're getting at, and I think laws need to change to make digital ownership more ironclad. For instance, I would like to see a law that forces companies to issue a full refund if a customer is ever denied access to a digital purchase for longer than, say, 30 total days each year (which would more than cover any unplanned outages).
But really, the games that are most in danger of being lost over time are the ones that completely rely on a server for you to even play them. That's one big reason Stadia was never going to work. With my PS5, I can store my games on the internal SSD and the add-on SSD I purchased. If the servers were to go down tomorrow, I would still be able to play God of War Ragnarok like nothing had happened.
Owning physical copies is more foolproof than what I just mentioned, but it doesn't account for patches and expansions. If the storage inside someone's disc PS5 fails at some point down the line, they'll be able to install their games from disc onto a new (or maybe just reformatted) SSD. But if all support for those games has been discontinued by that point, then any patches and expansions will be out of reach, leaving the player with the unpatched vanilla version of the game.
@@InJeffable Your last paragraph also indicates why we need games to be finished before release (like in the days before the internet took over consoles). As too many game-developers/publishers nowadays, knowlingly put out a buggy mess of a game and "We'll fix it down the road". Bugs can always happen, but not to a degree that you end up having a game that isn't releaseworthy.
Well for me, I haven't used discs in over 5 years or so and I don't have any other playstations other than the ps3
If you get the disc version can you still purchase games digitally?
Obviously
You can play games offline on digital version
We caught john wick on his day off
Everybody has their own preferences I bought a disc version because I like to buy my favorite story mode games on disc. I like having My “Classics” Displayed by my consoles . I buy sports games digital though because they come out every year so in my opinion there is no need to have or keep sports game on disc if it’s reoccurring every year.
though you still have to pay the same price every year on PS store lol
@@CantGuardTee what you mean im literally talking about preference. Not once did I talk about price. it’s not about the price.. it’s about having the physical copy of my favorite games display.. why would I have Madden 16 displayed when it’s 2023 that’s stupid to me so I rather buy it digitally.. I have a gaming setup so I like having the actual game displayed in my setup vs just having a bunch of games on the console
@@tarantinoTV803 oh I get you now.
underrated channel
There is no need for a disc drive on any device. The discs don’t even have the entire game. You have to download it anyway
That’s why sony will take all your money genius.
That's actually a really good point lol
Disc edition is better because you can use ps4 discs for games that are not digitally available.
This whole video is ridiculous, why is he explaining like the disc version can't download digital? Just say disc is better because it's both in one, end of video.
My man chose to speak facts straight up😂
Bro thank u for your comment 🎉😂
With disc addition can u still get digital games instead of using discs cause idk what get
Get the disc edition
Yes
I have an original ps4 uncharted limited edition and still work I stopped playing like year ago since I also have the ps5 but ps4 is a great console also that enjoyed a lot i if just i see now in digital games more convenient way to buy and play games .
PS5 Digital + PS Extra sub + Gigabit internet = Perfection. 👍
no disc is better more the merrier sayin as a digital user
Pros for disc is if you done with the game, you can sell it and get another game
I guess but I’ve literally never done that I know what games I want
I would choose the digital bc it is faster and easy and I buy all my games in ps5 so I don’t buy disc anymore
Wait so if you get blue ray you can’t get digital games?
disc version can play my PS4 discs.
I always love physical games because i do love see covers game and games in my hand ✋️ archive games and And the important thing is that when physical games become old, their prices drop after a year of release, but the digital version is always the same price. I think digital games should be cheaper because of the cost of the disc and its writing.. frame and cover. The seller's profits are all deducted from the game
If I buy the disc version can I still buy digital games?
Yes
Cant u still download digital games on the disk version as well?
Yes
I love the digital only but if a friend comes over with a game ill need to get a disk drive version
Fortunately I don’t have friends
@@Collect2Disconnect real
I bought the digital edition for 1 simple fact alone, I have ADHD I play games for 5 to 10 minutes at time so switching to digital helps me just jump into a random game without the wait of getting up every time to swap out the game. But that's just me and my disorder
It is honestly an underrated feature. It changes the user experience especially for adult with RESPONSIBILITIES
You know the disc version is digital too right? 😂
@@berrex5152 you know The world doesn’t revolve only around you right? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
any performance different between digital and disk?
The PS5 SLIM is SLOWER. The original is better. 😂
Better wait for the slim version which will be available this fall.
source?
Sauce?
@error is right
Or wait for the Pro. What's another year?! Especially since 'current gen' isn't really getting off the ground just yet. Opinions may differ ofcourse, but I haven't seen nothing yet that I NEED to jump on to current gen. But then again, my priorities have changed over the decades.
I had the same with the PS4. When I was finally able to buy one, word of a Playstation 'Neo' began to arise, together with Project Morpheus (aka PSVR). It was then still a year away, but it was a wait worthwhile. As I'm into VR, the Pro was a good choice, as I didn't come accross troubles with VR that PS4 OG/Slim users had.
And even if you don't go for the Pro, when that arrives, the prices of the PS5 OG/Slim will go down.
Slim gonna look like a wifi router
Which version is best????
Disc
@@The.world.has.gone.crazy... Thanks!!
Digital and physical load exactly the same 😂 they both have to also install on the system so that doesn't matter either.
yeah, the dude in this video is oblivious
My main reason for going with the disk version is because one day the PlayStation network may remove a game, it could no longer become available. the same thing Nintendo did with the DS and the Wii U they closed the store down but still allowed people to download their games, but they could not purchase anything from the store anymore, Told consumers that they were doing maintenance but really they are discontinuing the service for those systems so I’m going to stick to the disc version by a disc folder and keep my disc games clean. only irresponsible people let their disc get scratched up and become completely unusable and they are lazy as hell to not want to get up and change their games so I like being able to play both digital and physical because trust me Having the best of both world is everything!
Im a mummy dropping by to survey for my boy....thank you for the video and the comments....ill be getting my son the disc version 😊 since he like to collect disc on his shelf.
Sorry I'll just stick to my Playstation 2 I bought over 20 years ago. Still running good and strong and I have alot of games on it. Best selling system of all time research shows.
😂😂😂😂
I still prefer and have the disc version of the console. From experience digital games crash often.
Everything you can do on the digital you can do on the disc version...
Not really , digital u don’t own the movies , music , or games digitally they can be taken away after u paid to not own
I ended up going for the digital one since i can spare 80 euro and spend that money a game i think digital is dev the better option if your an avg gamer like me😊
How much memory do you need to store all those digital games? Whoever says digital is cheaper never has visit a gaming shop with used titles.
U can play PS4 disc games in PS5 disc console ?
Yep. Works just fine 👍
Had the same question thanks for answering
Better yet many Ps4 disc games get the free Ps5 upgrade . like Witcher 3, Jedi Fallen Order and so on.
It switches Ps4 games from 1080p /30fps over to 1440p/60fps for free.
Even with no upgrade the Ps5 faster load times make all ps4 games much more enjoyable .
What if i used disc games on my ps4? Can i still play them on a digital ps5???
not unless you have them digitally downloaded
If you can afford a digital one, then i assume you can wait just a little more and get the physical one. Unless you maybe aren't planning to get many games for it, i'd always rather have options. At least with the Series S you have gamepass and other benefits but you really aren't saving money with the digital PS5 most of the time. To me, it just seems very dumb not to spend that extra 100 and at least give yourself the option, but the Slim is looking promising so far.
I have a question for you what if I bought it off the official website using the klarma option buy now pay later do you think it is a good idea ? Also I’ve been trying to get a ps5 for the longest while if you could give me one I’d very much appreciate it 🙏🙏
Idk
Well I mean the ps5 varies in prices between different marketplaces so the average is 600 with some at 400 to 700 with extra stuff included or special editions, so payments would look like 150 to like 175 in 4 which is not that big of a difference… so yeah if your Klarna limit covers the price go for it
I buy both but will always buy physical given the option.
Why would you buy both.. Just get the physical one
@@nextgencupidno, they’re saying they buy mainly physical games and only get digital games if it’s cheaper and or if it’s the only option.
same here!! i just love being able to have my games dics!!
If we buy disk version, do we need to use the disc all time when we play? Does this way use ssd speed to its potential?
Yes u do
The games don’t even come on the disc any more they just act like a key that opens the lock on the internet.

Yes the game is not on the used disc it still needs to be download but at a better price than PS Store has .
RDR2 sells used in disc for $20 Canadian and PS store still wants $79 for that old game .
Bro that is entirely untrue, i still don't get why people think this💀. Games used to play directly from the disc but nowdays, the game gets copied to a storage device and plays off that instead. You just gotta put the disc in for anti piracy measures and guess what, no such thing as internet required! Its just a design choice these modern consoles went with which has its pros and cons.
The digital version is the best option, especially if you have high speed internet.
The discs in my opinion are better because you can do both but in digital you have to use digital

How Many Watts Does A PS5 Use?
The official power rating of a PlayStation 5 Disc Edition console is 350 watts, while the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition has a power rating of 340 watts. Normally the console will draw a lot less than this - expect to use around 200 watts while gaming.
