This new $499.99 PS5 will replace the original Disc version and turn its Ultra HD Blu-ray drive into a removable piece you can also buy for $79.99.

Adorable!
The journalist or the console?
Yes!
Disk drive —> good
Why can’t you make a video by using a proper mic?
Its so sad to see disk drives go.I know the Slim has done away with it before but we need a modular console systems . I think its about time we got a new disc format
Remember there’s no used market in a digital only world and we know over time they will shutdown servers to access games.

Is this the verge? The quality really has gone down.
Loo
I’ve been a digital console gamer for about a decade now. A. So much storage space left in my house and B. Never ever losing a game because I lend it out, misplaced it or my kids want to frisbee with the discs around the house 😂. I have hundreds of games digitally I would never had physically
So disc based version still works out better in the long run including able to buy second hand disc based games.
I bought a series S thinking that i don’t care about CD’s
But afterwards i dound out that
1 i can’t share games with friends
2 i need more than i thought of free space if i want to keep all my games
I could hardly make the words you were saying.
We’re making tech videos using zoom now?
Thank you ^-^
I got a P5 with the disc drive for the purpose of physically owning my favorite games. The yearly games like COD, 2K, etc. ehh. But Spiderman, Gran Turismo, and others I want to have for good
In my opinion the PS5 might be the last console we see with a disc drive. It’s old tech, it needs to go. You can’t share mobile phone games or computer games. Consoles need to ditch this too. It’s over.
Disc drive, always
I kinda want the smaller one my PS5 is crazy big
i like to save money buying used games, so i need the disc version.
Important. I still have a large library of old game and a smaller library of new.
