I mean... When I got my PS5 the choice was spend $50 less to get the digital, discless console with nothing else, or spend the normal price for the disc version and get a free game bundled with it (God of War: Ragnarok). The stupid thing, is that the game isn't physical. It was a voucher for a digital redemption. So why the fuck didn't the discless version come with the same bundle?

It also makes more sense to have the disc version because only used physical games get deep discounts. I got NHL23, which is still 70 fucking dollars digital, even though NHL24 is coming out in just a few weeks; I picked it up at GameStop for $12.

I'm not a collector; I genuinely don't mind digital stuff (so long as they don't arbitrarily take them away) because I honestly don't have room to keep a ton of boxes and games around. But if they are the cheapest way to play, then by god I'm using a disc.
