One of the best things about consoles is that physical media is completely DRM free. Making a digital version of a console is an attempt to kill that. 

Microtransactions are "multiple options" too ya know. 

Terrible take, no one is forcing you to buy the digital one, please feel free to get all the partial games in discs and then download the rest of it like you already do. But why should I have to pay for something i will never use (blu ray discs)? On the microtransactions that is an old hat too, clearly some games do microtransactions right, just because we don't partake in them, doesn't mean they are bad. Helps studios stay profitable while we enjoy the continuous game price drops (when accounting for inflation).

Partial games on disc? What exactly do you play, because whenever I buy a modern game on disc it is a complete game, identical to what you would get from buying it digitally on day 1. Stop acting like physical games only contain 50% of the game on disc.  

You'd be smart to pay the extra $50 for the physical disc drive. You'd save way more than that $50 over the long run by buying used games for cheaper than you can find them on the PSN store. 

Lol, what games do MTX right? They are all bad.

Please give me an example of a good studio that would have went under if not for MTX. 

Discretionary spending is not affected by inflation. So no games are not cheaper these days. Not by a long shot.

Buying AAA games digitally on day one for $60 is almost always a rip off, just like Microtransactions. The profit margin on digital games is so high that they could release AAA games for $45 on launch, and still make a huge profit. 

Whenever you buy a AAA digital game on a console, you are asking to lose access to it in about 10-15 years. 

Hope you're not using netflix or spotify either. Or PC gaming for that matter... btw how are things back there in the 1990's? Hot tip, buy Apple and Amazon shares ASAP.

Netflix rents stuff, they don't sell stuff. Apples and Oranges comparison there. Does Spotify sell music? 

Steam has been around for 17 years now. They aren't going anywhere. My games bought on GoG come DRM free. Meanwhile the Wii shop channel has been taken down already.
