Even the discs are just keys. Only a few games actually have data on them. That goes for Microsoft AND Sony

If you’re a casual player and you’re out to play that one game that you know you’re going to really invest into then sure. But honestly you got to have full ownership of your games. A physical copy is just better.

To all digital fans remember this started when they started removing licensed music from GTA-SA. That’s just the beginning. Then they took away Daytona USA off Xbox and PS stores. Then they shut down the 360 store. Welcome to the all digital world where non-game preservation and “re-nonmasters” are the norm.

I hope we get some new laws along with the California law that will force companies to make sure they put the entire game on a disk and not just an access key.

I’d like to see the white version with disk support. Disc and disc drives will never be rendered obsolete. Physical ownership is very important. Digital ownership is no substitute. I have learnt that lesson several times. If I am to go through the trouble of purchasing a console, it better be able to read disks or cartridges. I must be able plug in my console into a TV, setup the console (without needing to connect to the internet to activate the device), insert the disc or cartridge and be able to play the game without any restrictions. The PS5 and Switch can do this, Microsoft is fighting to keep disposable AA batteries alive, but are quietly increasing unnecessary dependance on their company, following in the trails of other companies whose names I need not mention, taking away the disc drive will be another way take away control from the customer. The disc version is still available (for now, but will soon quietly disappear, if customers don’t wake up and start supporting physical media again. The next corporate step will be to relinquish digital ownership entirely and replace that with subscriptions. Can you imagine in a few months or a few years from now not being unable to purchase games in physical and digital form? It will most definitely happen if we do not fight to keep physical media alive. With physical media the customer has control over assets they have purchased, with digital media the company owns it, and the customer is only leasing it until the company decides to take it away. I see it this way, while I do not expect Microsoft to disappear anytime soon, in that unlikely event, I should still be able to fully utilize my device. I believe this very passionately that it should be put into legislation.

I currently have the Playstation 5 Slim Disc Version and I’m currently waiting on my Playstation 5 Pro which I just pre-ordered! Can’t go wrong with two Playstation 5s! I’ll be rocking with Sony until they go out of business or I die lol

Consoles should have disc drives – very simple. The option to play the back library of physical games, playing Blu-ray movies, and where to buy a physical game is important.

It’s always good for consoles to have disc/game card slots, but most people don’t care about owning games anymore. The series x digital still gonna sell well.

I upgraded to the X because I needed a 4K bluray player. Best investment.
