Why do Disk Drives matter?

[Pajderman]

I bought a PS5 with a Disk-drive since I wanted to be able to watch 4K movies on the system as well as play games.

For gaming I think digital is fine. I buy most of my switch games digital. But I still buy a few games on physical media for PS5 and switch, the reason being that they often are cheaper for the consumer as well as the resell aspect. Games that keep their value long like first party Nintendo games and special editions I still buy physical and games that I'm not sure I will enjoy so I try them out and sell them if I don't like them.
But digital should be cheaper, the cost of creating the games and distribute them is much lower for digital versions if that was shown in the price I would go all in digital because of the convince. But higher initial price and no resell make digital a much worse economic option.
