I don't know, I really only play downloaded games anywayYeah, vast majority of my games are downloads. It's the superior way to it.
Minor annoyance but I would've started earlier if I had known hehe
Hasn't that been a thing since PS4?No the disc is copied to the system but no download is needed.

Way off topic, but I got reminded of a thought I've had for a while. Should Sony go with SD cards like NIntendo for games? More specifically, custom carts that load as fast, as their SS solution. Like, I'm obviously in the physical camp, but they've become nothing but installers. Now what if the cart gets run and all updates are installed to the game cart instead of the HD? Obviously you wouldn't cut the hard drive out.Wouldn't that be super expensive compared to a disc? Don't see what it'd solve.

Sorry, let me elaborate. BD Media is a dead end and is legacy to movies at this point, much like CD is for music. So moving forward do we cut physical media period? Which I'd loath and probably never buy a console again. Or do we move on to new technologies? Or rather, old technology (Tech is pretty dang cyclical). I mention SD cards since that's the current external memory format still in use. Is cost an issue? Yeah, I've seen some stupid things done with the Switch because of it. But, what if Sony whips something up with 256 gigs of storage and can access as fast as the PS5s SSD solution? Something that Sony may be able to get prices down, or even just modify SD card reads and use standard SD cards.I think discs are still going to be the way to go for decades. If R&D budgets disappear and capacity stops improving, they can still print games on multiple discs for so much cheaper.
