How you been big dawg?

I was thinking of copping the disc but I don't think I've actually bought a disc in like 2 years now

I've been chillin, trying to survive this pandemic

I'm gonna get the disc version cuz it'll be my 2nd 4K dvd player, and i'll still play my ps4 discs

Im getting the disk version

I haven't bought a disc game in years since adding 2TB external to the PS4. I have no reason to buy a disc game.

plus now that you can play PS4 using the app via ipad or macbook, having the games on the hard drive is a major win when you're playing remotely having access to a lilbrary of games.

Those game price hike takes a bit of the luster of digital versions of consoles. I don't know if people want to be at the mercy of Xbox Live and PSN while disc versions get discounted fairly quickly.

I have the disc and digital editions ordered. I'll decide closer to launch.
I mostly buy digital games but the increase in prices for the coming generation makes me want to shift to physical. The first party games I have bought digitally have typically been £49.99 or £54.99. The boost to £69.99 from Sony is significant.

The disc edition is so ugly though

Some of you may be already aware but if you own, say, a disc version of Miles on the PS4, you can only upgrade for free via disc. That means if you want your free upgrade, you'll need the physical edition of the PS5 since your PS4 copy was also physical. Just a heads up.

Per Sony:

The PS4 digital versions of launch games include a free upgrade on both PS5 consoles, while the PS4 disc versions of these games include a free upgrade on the PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray disc drive.
