Disc all the way for me. I don't really tend to buy 'full price' games on digital - plus, when titles are £70, it's nice to have the option of trading them in.
I'm not one of those weirdos who refuses to buy anything digital though, you understand. Game Pass is awesome, for example. The disc version for me is the Hovis Best of Both machine.

Their market research will have informed them that it was going to be the higher demand machine regardless of the higher RRP, if they believed they could have skipped it and trapped 4x the players within their ecosystem they would have jumped on that opportunity in a second. The ratio will continue to shift in digitals favour but in 2027 a disc supporting PlayStation 6 will absolutely be at launch.

Disks are already practically useless on their own now, with all games requiring day one patches and at least a few additional patches through the lifetime of a game. The only reason why they are currently shipping more disk machines is because they will make better margins on it. Once the slim models arrive it will be a different story. I know this isn't what "collectors" and some of the older audience want to hear, but Sony and Microsoft's intent is crystal clear now, and with some very aggressive digital incentives further down the line, it will only become clearer.
I have a 100MB line with Virgin and I dread downloading modern games. Tekken 7 took forever on Steam. It's only going to get worse as games get larger.

Can’t sell consoles to remote places in brazil if they can’t download any games due to not haven’t the net, repeat for any other countries with poor infrastructure.
