Hey All,

I have a launch model PS4 and I feel it's only a matter of time before it kicks the bucket. It has been randomly spitting out discs and it sounds like a damn banshee when I play Horizon or Destiny 2. I would prefer not to fork over a few hundred for new system so I thought of going digital with my games, would that reduce the wear and tear on my system?

That sucks. Sorry to hear. I'm surprised my PS4 is still kicking. It's one of the launch ones the wife bought me for Christmas. But at first when I played it I thought there was something wrong with the HDMI port because I kept having to unplug and replug in the HDMI to the tv in order for the signal to appear. Apparently PS4 does not like Sanyo tvs. Some things were quarky and glitchy but now everything is really smooth. Every once in a blue moon it won't read a disc and may require a restart but haven't had that in a while. And even while playing Prey last night I decided to download Metal Gear Solid V last night onto the external hard drive and it finished before I was ready to turn in for the night. I would see about trading yours in. At the worst they can send it somewhere to get refurbished.
