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.
- i mean...you could always buy the add-on disc drive? Assuming that it is still compatible with the Pro, not sure why it wouldn't be. They get to fleece physical media heads for an extra $80, that's a win for Sony.
  
  I did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.
  
  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.

Why do they insist on making it so ugly?
- the hardware design team is so far up their own asses with the PS5 design. Here's two articles where you can read how high they are on their own supply: One, Two
  
  Reading the first link, I can almost see them sniffing their own farts. How much do they get paid for this? I'm thinking of switching careers.
  
  Fat PS3 are still the best console design.

Ah so my waiting was worth it not buying the ps5 when it came out. Hurrah!
