Happy with everything I’m seeing, but I do worry about the price and lack of a discless option. In IGN’s article, it’s said:

“We also finally get confirmation that the console will still accept physical media, rather than taking a download-only or streaming-only form.”

This sounds to me like Sony will only have one console option, but I think having a digital/streaming only option is really important to lower the cost of entry for people.

Realistically a disc drive isn't going to make that big of a difference. The low entry price is going to come in the form of the PS4 still being on the market for $199, 90% of early PS5 games being cross-gen with PS4 and PS Now means PS4 can be their streaming device.
