That's a huge boon! As is the inherent backwards compatibility of being able to put on your favorite Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs. Finally, the PS5 can play 4K HDR movies on physical media. This goes beyond games, especially with Sony finally including an Ultra HD Blu-ray player on its system after curiously skipping it for the PS4 and sticking with 1080p Blu-ray. They give you more options, and they don't take away from your ability to download and install whatever you want on your console's hard drive. Discs offer long-term stability, and ensure that you'll have access to your media and (most) games even if your internet connection goes down. The option to play optical media is too big a benefit to give up for your game console. You shouldn't either, so whether the PS5 Digital Edition is $50 or $100 less expensive than the regular PS5, it won't be worth it.
I also don't want to give up the option of an optical drive as long as the device I'm buying is physically large enough to contain one. But I also have shelves full of games on discs and cards (for Nintendo Switch), and I don't want to change that. Digital game downloads are extremely convenient, and they're effectively the only way to get PC games now. So it seems Sony did not learn anything after the last two times this approach failed.ĭon't get me wrong. Sony this week finally showed us what the PlayStation 5 looks like, provided a glimpse of several PS5-exclusive games, and unveiled new accessories for the console, including a new PlayStation Camera, a media remote, and a wireless headset.īut we also learned that Sony will sell two PS5 models at launch-one with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and one that's digital-only.
