That’s before taking into consideration the actual joy of owning physical items. So, what you save now with the digital console's upfront cost may cost you in the long-term, since you'll be paying whatever prices Sony and game publishers decide to set on PSN. Over the course of a console’s lifespan, that could add up to considerable second-hand savings. Secondly, those with a disc drive can take advantage of being able to swap, loan, borrow, and trade physical disc-based games with their friends and exchange stores.

The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (with its identical specs aside from the removal of the disc drive) comes in at $399.99 / £359.99 / AU$599.95. If you go for the standard PS5, the one that eats Blu-ray discs for breakfast, it initially cost you $499.99 / £449.99 / AU$749.95.
