The disc model grants you BluRay playback. Some people also prefer to have discs over digital. I would also say backwards compatibility but Sony could easily add this to the cloud.

i do, do have tons of games via disc, most recently Tony Hawk because reproduction board
and cheap price. And I don’t want to play most bc games via a paid service in the future, unless they’re free via ps+ or worth double dipping or share with one of my siblings i do, do have tons of games via disc, most recently Tony Hawk because reproduction board
I think the best of both worlds is best since it's easier to take the game to a friends house or a place where there is no online available. This is likely where some may see value in the discs
I still think Sony's crazy SSD is going to end up driving a lot of cost. I dont think the digital version will cost much less either.
Drives just aren't that expensive. I'd bet a 50 dollar price diff. I also thing the whole reason sony hasn't announced price is that they wanted to get MSs official price out first so they can charge as much as they dare.
Obviously conjecture, but I bet if they planned a lower price, they'd have announced already. It seems to me they want some space between theirs and Microsoft's.
That's just me. Watch it come out at 400, lol...
It'll be 999, which will put it above 10 dollars after tax.
Obviously it’s going to come down to the cost of the SSD for PS5. We all know on paper the SX has better specs aside the SSD so as far as GPU, CPU and Ram are concerned, the PS5 should be cheaper to manufacture. Ultra fast SSD’s aren’t cheap but I’m sure I read that the PS5 SSD only cost $25 dollars but it’s something to do with how they increased the io bandwidth aside the SSD that allows it to be super fast. I’m expecting $500 450 but $450/399 is possible if SSD costs $25.
I’ve always thought Sony would dominate this gen like last (which was well deserved with their stellar exclusives) and all this time we’ve been talking about PS5vs SX but since the announcement of the SS, I genuinely think Xbox has a chance of outselling PS5 in USA and UK. If PS5 digital is $399 all bets are off.

Sony was definitely waiting on Microsoft's price. Phil Spencer said it himself that he would wait on Sony to give their price so that he could counter them because he had the means to, and he's right because he could. So, for Sony to be as effective in pricing as possible Microsoft would have to be blinded by what they were holding.
So just because Sony has a low price they've pursued does not mean that they will reveal it before Microsoft. This may also be the case as to why we haven't gotten a teardown.
when and where did Phil say that? He only said he’s gotten the ok from Microsoft’s ceo to be flexible on price. What were they holding, a spotlight to his face?
Let’s just wait and see, no?
Did I say it wasn't? Nope. All I said was the disc drive is the only reason to get that Sku. A cheaper $400 sku will make tgings worse and that disd drive will seem less valuable to many in digital era.
I will get one with disc drive. The benefit outweighs the price difference in the long run. You can have the option to borrow games as well as use game. Also for my case, not spend 2-3 days downloading games.
No he didn't. Do you have a link saying Phil said this?
These bending of truth posts is his specialty, he then ignores answering.
Word for word, he didn't. I think Shawn is reading between the lines, and to be fair to Shawn, it isn't an unreasonable summation.
But it has to be gospel from MS otherwise....BAN!
“We’re definitely going to be keeping our eyes wide open as we go towards launch, looking at what the competition is doing. But we have a plan and we feel very solid about our plan. We think it’s a winning plan… I feel that we’ve got a plan that can win.”
Asked if Xbox was able to react to PS5’s pricing, Spencer confirmed the platform holder would remain “agile”.
“We’re getting incredible support from Microsoft… they’re very linked into what our plans are. We’re going to make sure we stay agile on our pricing and that we have a good plan going into launch.”

For someone who doesn't consider Sony as their competition anymore or how many consoles they sell, Phil Spencer sure is focused heavily on what Sony are doing with their console. So.... Sony decided to keep a lid on everything they were doing up until the last minute, to give Microsoft no clue to what they were holding so that they couldn't react. This is how Microsoft ended up blinking first; Sony ran the clock all the way down, and now they are ready.
Did Phil say something remotely close to what Shawn implied? Honest question.
Thank you. That's all i was asking. Don't know why Val laughed at my earlier post.“We’re definitely going to be keeping our eyes wide open as we go towards launch, looking at what the competition is doing. But we have a plan and we feel very solid about our plan. We think it’s a winning plan… I feel that we’ve got a plan that can win.”

Only a person who isn't purposely paying attention didn't know this.
It really didn't have to be in writing either,it's a chess match.
