Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is a discless version of the PS5 console. That means it won’t be able to play physical, disc-based PS5 games. All your games will be digitally downloaded onto the console. That means you don’t have to get up and insert a disc or worry about the drive going bad plus you’ll save some dough, which are all benefits. But you’ll need reliable, fast internet if you’re downloading these huge games. Also, you won’t be able to play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Storage is another limiting factor. At a certain point, you’ll need to manage which games you want to keep on the system and which you want to remove. Frankly, I hate this but this can easily be resolved with external storage. Another factor to consider is that with an all-digital console, you won’t be able to sell your games once you’ve completed them since they reside on your console’s SSD drive.
