It takes up shelf space, it sometimes comes with all these pre-order codes you’ve got to manually redeem and if you order online you have to wait for the game to arrive in the mail. We’ve reached the point where its out with the physical media and in with the digital media; you can pre-load, you don’t have to redeem any codes, and it’s there to play bang on midnight. This year PlayStation and Xbox both revealed that they would have their own digital versions of their newest consoles, the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and the Xbox Series S. Both seem pretty appealing; they’re smaller and they’re actually cheaper than their disc-drive counterparts. The problem, however, is that it’s all a big trap, and in the end you’ll be spending more money than those WITH disc drive consoles.”
