PS5 Disc vs Digital: which is better?


Our in-depth comparison of PS5 Disc vs Digital Edition consoles charts the price, specs, storage and performance of each Sony console

It’s worth paying the extra premium for the PS5 disc console if you can afford to, as choosing the PlayStation 5 with the 4K Blu-ray drive will save you money in the long run and net you an additional feature to boot. That means if you’re buying a PlayStation 5 in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, or Canada, you could be paying up to 21% more than when the console launched in November 2020. However, with a disc, you can trade it (it retains some value), lend it to a friend, and sleep soundly knowing that your purchase will be playable for many years to come, even if Sony ever chooses to take the PlayStation Store offline.
