Everyone wants a disc drive but no one wants to subsidize it. How would you feel about a $1000 PS6? I don't even need to ask that question because everyone shat on the Steam Machine for being the same price, despite a PS6 needing every bit of economical leeway it can take, given that it costs about that much to make.

I don't want one

I got a PC, I use steam, fuck the rest of you

My PC doesn't have one.
My phone doesn't have one.
My Switch doesn't have one.
I'm fine if my PS6 doesn't have one.

Pic unrelated.

Cutting the disc drive saves Snoy like $10 maximum
Kikes gonna kike

That's where you're wrong, bucko. Disc drives cost between about $25-$80. Factor in manufacturing costs, distribution, and assembly, and the mark up starts to seem more justified.
But now, attach that to a console which is already pushing $1000.
No one is going to be buying a physical PS6, even if Sony kept discs.

I have a blu-ray drive in my PC.
I will not be purchasing a PS6

To consumers, not the fucking company making them
I couldn't care less anyway, I hope Snoy's next move is cutting game purchases all together and you just rent from cloud for $20/hour

i was fine with spending $3k on a PC and panel because i do many things with it, not just vidya.
a Playstation plays games and streams locked down content. no fucking way I would ever spend more than $500 on a gaming console.
>>
>>742453724
Either they release a thousand dollar PS6 with a disc drive or I don't buy it. No discs, no buy. I don't pay for 1s and 0s that can be legally stolen by Sony at any time.
>>
>>742453724
a UHD BD drive costs less than $100 to make
i bought a PS5 with a disc drive shortly after launch and bought 20+ full price physical PS5 games, as well as a dozen or so physical PS4 games that didn't release on PS5
i can't have made my position any clearer, they just don't want my money anymore
>>
We live in the worst timeline
>>
>>742453724

Physical media allows for sales and stock that sits on Amazon who clearances it out. PStore shit is overpriced even when on "sale" since Sony alone controls it. Having a disc drive saves money in the long run.

>PS6 launches for USD$1500 for the base model
>Sony introduces finance plans so you can instead spend $2k for it over the course of two years.

Goddamn you people are fucking retarded.

>>742453724
Fuc kyou faggot,. If you're gonna make it all digital, the least you could do is lowering the price of games back to 50 dollars. If you don't then you're either fucking jews or the cost of making physical was nothing and you're doing this just to spite consumers. Either way fuck you.

not my problem!
if you want my money, you cater to me.

A fucking bluray player is like 40 bucks max

>>742458389
The whole point of digital is so they can raise the price and you can't do anything about it.
>>
>>742453724
What about games for the PS5 first before creating a new cash grab console?
>>
>>742454137
>My PC doesn't have one.
Then buy a disc drive.

I got one from amazon for like 15 bucks

The reason i didn't buy the piss 5 because of the mic array within the controller listening and recording every conversation.

What's the problem with selling the Blu-ray drive separately? I bought a digital PS5 because I'm broke and then bought the drive. It was convenient for me. I see zero reasons to do otherwise in my situation.

Why in hell would you want a PS5 or a PS6 after experiencing a decade of horrible, DREADFUL movie games written by talentless millennials who strongly believe the slop they write is worth sitting down to listen to?
I'm around the middle of Days Gone and I wanna hang myself. I never play snoy exclusives so the whiplash effect is tremendous, traumatizing even. You have good components in the game such as horde hunting, yet 85% of the volume is occupied by walking parts, listening to some bozos' exposition speeches, using batman's vision to investigate, watching mind numbing cutscenes, playable slow as fuck flashbacks designed so you cannot skip them, listening to hollow exchanges on radio calls. And it never EVER stops. It is as if those games have full stacked divisions working on making the games worse. That's the type of slop snoy churns out.
And retarded niggers buy 500 bucks consoles for THAT? TO PLAY SPIDERMAN AND DAD OF WAR?
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?
>>
>>742463997
There's games. But they're called interactive ( bad ) movies.
At that point I think it'd be preferable if there was no games at all. A big void while we wait for the western gayme industry to eat itself. Having a toothache is more thrilling than touching snoy's games with a ten miles long foot pole.

They don't want to do that.
