^ Yeah but this isn't a problem is you focus on one game at a time but I interweave games so I may pkay two or three or even four in a session of gaming. I know it's laziness but it really feels archaic to be changing disks, especially for a game you're diverting to for one match and then swapping back. The PS5 dashboard allows you to pin games so you can stick those side titles on that and the ones your mailing get left in the list anyway. I'm particularly bad ass of late, juggling a lot of games and dipping in and out of new buys to test them and see what I wanna play as well, so now may not be the best time to judge this as when things go back to normal I'll be juggling no more than 3 games with my system. I just can't imagine juggling ten games but like Svenn said, move them to the PS5 and it's less of a hassle, I suppose. Also, you may not be in the mood for a game and have to cycle through multiple games before you realise what game you're in the mood for, it takes so little time digitally with the SSD. 

Were you juggling games like that before digital?

That whole ADHD way of playing imo comes from digital and streaming. That's also why I prefer discs since it discourages hopping from game to game, not really enjoying anything. Like swapping from movie to show to documentary on Netflix without watching anything longer than 10 minutes (or just leaving it on the preview channel lol)

And oddly buying the 4K blu-ray, I'll complete a movie in one sitting, which I never do on streaming. The hassle of booting up a blu-ray again encourages finding time to watch a movie in one go. Sometimes inconvenience becomes a convenience :)

But sure, for multiplayer matches it can be convenient to have a digital copy. I have for GT7 (next to the steelbook edition) so I could quickly switch to GT7 when a timed event came up. Also in VR pass through mode can be a bit tricky to change discs. (I'm used to it now, yet depth perception is a bit off at first with PSVR2 pass-through, fishing where to place the controllers lol)

Yeah, I used to play that way with discs as well and very rarely finished games because of it. Since digital I've finish more games in a year than I did in 5 years before. Something about digital and having the game persistently on your console keeps it in mind so you are more inclined to return even after it enters your backlog. Discs end up so easily in a backlog that is never touched again. I recently tried FF7 remake for the fourth time cause it was on my HDD and I was about to format it and glad I did cause I got into it this time and very much enjoyed it, I was about to skip right to Rebirth cause I never thought I'd gel with REmakes pacing, if it was on disc it might not even have gotten a second try for whatever physiological reason that causes that to happen.
