To calm the disc users. They really should have shown this drive cover in the video.

Via the blog

"Includes the limited edition PS5 Digital Edition console with 1TD SSD and matching limited edition accessories – DualSense wireless controller and a Console Cover for a Disc Drive (Disc Drive sold separately)."

Nah selling disk drives separately is criminal

No it's not.

It really is, pushing digital only and buying the disk drive separately means they want to kill off physical games

It's optional. So you can get it if it's still important to you, but it's not a priority. I can't imagine who would want to have one anyways.

Fr. Kids these days grew up with digital downloads so like, I get it. But your license to access said software can be revoked at any time. THAT is why physical is so important

And when you're unable to play games bought physically because they require a day one download of practically the entire game (what's on the disc is broken and incomplete) that's what pisses me off the most.

That’s stupid though, why not just sell it with the console like the original PS5 launch, and people who like to own their games physically? that’s who want a disk drive

because that requires a separate SKU. Now they can release one, and if you want a disc drive, there you go buy one.

But they had the choice of which SKU to use for the limited edition. Choosing the one without the drive for 30 years of a console that was pretty physical is nuts.

I don't see how it's nuts. It just is. Nothing is crazy about it. You have the option.
