I can see a lot of comments are happy with digital only. I can understand some of the reasons, but I much prefer physical. I sell 60% + of my games and pass them on. Why would you be happy to not have this option?
I’ll never forget coming back from holiday and seeing final fight running on the snes at my games store. That’s the first time I said to myself that’s just like the arcade and foamed at the mouth. Apart from the neo geo snes was the best console around by far. I always want a perfect outrun on console which helps too.
Biggest woes of the controllers is the stick drift. I’m already two controllers down and I’m a light player. Almost a decade of the issue now and no plan of a fix.
@get2sammyb I’m all for buying the outrun port they did for the switch. It tops the straight arcade port @ 60fps. I love to buy that for the PS, just to leave the music blasting out and me of the arcade days 😃
All depends how old you are. I specifically remember the snes pulling in all my friends who never cared about gaming. SF2 and Mario cart being the pull. The SNES was imo the best console of all time
5 days compensation. I would have much preferred timely updates as to what is going on and an eta of fix. Saturday is my gaming day - i could have planned around it if you let us have a rough guid of the issue and fix timelines. My biggest with PS is the stick drift. Defo thinking about buying a gaming PC soon.
I wan5 to enjoy these types of games, but just can’t get into the. I can’t help but click through the dialogue, which is endless. Gratz to winning and glad the players enjoy it.
@Keyblade-Dan 100% - it’s a total money drain. Next thing you realise is you have a ton of micro subscriptions draining your income every month. Buy a game own it, preferably physical but I would understand why people like digital.
As a young guy I could sometimes never sleep thinking about my spectrum 48k games. 40 years later I don’t think gaming has ever been better……you lucky g1ts. 😄
Just cancelled my order on that news (was a knee jerk pre order anyway). Unless the law changes that the digital ownership is 100% yours, I’m avoiding digital purchases. It’s also handy to sell games on that I didn’t enjoy, which is about 40%. will still purchase the odd Indy as digital.
@Shepherd_Tallon . Haha that’s me too. Would love to play a bunch of horror , but t can’t deal with horror. That plus I live in a 300 year old cottage in the middle of nowhere. What a sap I am
Just to note California passed a law to prevent “buy it now” or “purchase “ as you do not own the game. I have a handful of digital games, but owning the physical is by far better for your own purchase protection.
I pay for a few Indy ganes as digital only , but a majority of my games are physical. Digital only I pass on . There is so much choice in games I don’t miss out.
Great shame. I personally like less clutter, though I enjoyed the option of selling a game on when it wasn’t for me. Also I sell my consoles with games when I’m done with them. One console I didn’t sell was my jap snes and I like having the physical cartridges with it
Definitely give the Lego a crack, but I’ve so many games to catch-up on (4 are still sealed). I don’t think gaming has ever been so exciting and I grew up with the spectrum 48k. If I were a kid I’d never be able to sleep.

Re: Preview: Arc Raiders Could Be the Definitive Extraction Shooter on PS5
@SteveJaye I’m hoping for the same. I loved division as I could mess around in single player and then seamlessly glide into multiplayer .

Physical only for me.
Re: Prepare 107GB of Space for Assassin's Creed Shadows on PS5

Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5
Yea that’s a dealbreaker. I’m not sure it’s for me , so I like to buy physical & can sell on if that’s the case.
Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4
It’s not just for collecting. I’d say 40-50% of games just don’t grab me after a play. I can stick them on eBay and get some of my money back.

Re: PS5 Pro Prompts Sony's Disc Drive to Rocket Up the Charts
Just to note California passed a law to prevent “buy it now” or “purchase “ as you do not own the game.
I have a handful of digital games, but owning the physical is by far better for your own purchase protection.
Re: Newly Signed Law May Restrict Sony's Use of Terms Like 'Buy' or 'Purchase' for Digital Games
