PS5: 10 Most Promising Details You Haven’t Heard About
10. NOT All-Digital (Disc Drive Confirmed)
For those who don't want to conform to the all-digital trend of games, movies and music (like me, who buys records like a hipster), there is hope.
Sony have confirmed that the PS5 will have a disc drive. So for all of you that like having that collection upon their shelves, you may rejoice. It also means that not all your storage space will be eaten up with games, culminating in that difficult decision to delete some to make room for others.
It also means, that if it does have a 4K drive and not just support, disc space will be larger. A standard Bluray disc can hold 50gb, whilst a 4K disc can hold a whopping 100gb. This could potentially mean larger game worlds (for example), with no risk to loading times if the claims do hold up.
That we still end up relying on day one patches on our consoles is something else to be seen, but here's hoping more storage equates to more thought to not releasing half-finished games.
