    No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won’t without a disk drive.

      Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.

        The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.

          Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.

          awesome! just double-check that it’s compatible with the new one before dropping the extra $80! Nothing about the Pro is official yet, so we still gotta wait and see.

        Ehhh if most people don’t care about the disk, then i guess good they don’t need to pay for it. Reduce waste

        But i bougtht the console for the disk feature and use it as media center.

        I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.
