So, in this blog, I’m going to quickly break down the difference between the two console options that are available to you, and then explain the pros and cons of each, as well as advising what console I think you should look to buy, dependent on your specific situation. So, for the sake of clarity, let’s be clear about what your options are when buying a PS5. Right now, in November there are two options to choose from, the Disc Edition and the Digital Edition. And the clue to the difference between the two is in the name. The Disc Edition of the PS5 has a disc drive built into it, while the Digital Edition does not. Beyond that, there are no differences between the two consoles. You’ve got the same CPU, the same GPU, the same memory and the same internal storage size and capability across the two consoles, you’re not getting one that’s more powerful than the other, or one that’s got more internal storage or anything like that. It literally is all about that disc drive.There’s no slim version of the PS5 right now, no Pro version either. So, if you’re deciding on which console to purchase, the key difference is going to be around how much that disc drive means to you, and whether or not you can live without it, or whether you’d actually prefer to live without it. Let’s break that down a little. The key benefit to a disc drive is that it can of course read discs. The PS5 disc drive can read PS5 games, but it can also read and play PS4 games, various types of Blu Ray discs including 4K Ultra HD and DVDs, so it covers a pretty wide range of media types.If you’re someone who owns a wide range of disc-based media, and you want the option to play those on your PS5, you have to go for the disc based console, you don’t have any other option. A benefit beyond having a disc based media collection, is that games are installed on your PS5 consoles, and the files that are needed to do this are pretty large. Every game comes with an installation file, a core file that’s delivered to your console and installed on the hard drive, and then updated via the web as patches are released for the game. That installation file can be huge. Let’s say for example that you’ve got a 45 gig installation file. You need to get that file onto your PS5. With the Digital Edition, you can either download that file from the cloud, which is of course going to be dependent on your internet connection, or you store it on an external hard drive and transfer it over when you want to access it. This is quicker, but it’s still not exactly quick. If you own a disc based PS5, you’ve got both of those options, but you also have the option of buying a disc copy of a game, and accessing the file via the disc. Now your console will still have to install the game from the disc, so you’re not saving hard drive space or anything like that, the console still fully installs the game onto it’s internal hard drive. It’s just obviously quicker for most people to install a game from a disc than it is to install it from the cloud, although do keep in mind, most games will then need to download an update, and that is done via the cloud, so a poor internet connection is going to be troublesome for you regardless of which console you own. That said, if you have data caps for example, the disc based console could be your best option. A major benefi to owning the disc based version of the console is your ability to make the most of deals that can be found outside of the PlayStation network. If you go to your local games store, or supermarket, or second-hand sale and find something for a really good deal, you can purchase the physical copy of the game at a potentially really good price, something that isn’t available to owners of the digital version. That said, those of us who use the digital edition of the console can still benefit from deals, the PSN store has deals running all the time, and it’s well worth checking back every couple of weeks or so to see what’s available. I’ve managed to amass a pretty cool collection, although like any digital collection, there’s an argument to be had about whether or not I ever actually own any of these games, I’ve technically got them on a super long-term rental. Oh, and in case you were wondering, if you buy a disc copy of a game, you will have to insert that disc each and every time you play the game. Not because the PS5 is reading anything from the disc each time, it’s an anti piracy feature. It’s to stop you from buying a game, installing it on your machine, then returning the disc for a refund and being able to still play the game. So, lots of reasons to own a disc-based console, you might be wondering why anyone would go for the digital edition. Well, I went for the digital edition, so there are those of us out there who prefer this over the disc version, for a few different reasons. So there you go, that’s an explanation of the difference between the two PS5 console versions, with a breakdown of which version I think you should consider, based on your needs.
