Most of the Sony guys I heard discussing this thought the digital only version would have a larger hard drive to accommodate the storage issues. So the cost would be balanced out. But now that it is confirmed the storage is just as low as the the one with disc drive, it no longer makes sense. |
Honestly, anyone that thinks that is being obtuse.
Being that every single game, across the PS5/XSX would need to be physically installed too. Even if you have the disc version, all your games still need to be installed in the system if you want to play it. This is particularly true now more than it has ever been. BR drive = 36MB/s (max if its an8x drive and PS4 used a 6x drive). SSD =5.5GB/s.
If anything, using discs actually makes things a little more complicated being that you lose the "game jukebox" functionality. The only value discs have right now is that you can at least resell them. That's it. I don't know why anyone would think that because a machine is all digital it means it should come with a bigger SSD.
