That hasnt been a thing for a while. If you have the disk version it just uses the disk to install the game on the HDD/SSD rather than download. Disk drives are WAY too slow to access data from during gameplay. Especially with the new systems using a super fast SSD. That would defeat the purpose.
and if you want i can send you ss of proof, if you're that persistent
I have many disk games, they all install the same space of data on your HDD as digital versions. Including MLB TS

Yet somehow my next gen nba 2k21 disc version takes up 63.89GB when digital takes up 120?
Lol, no idea man. Guy commented right after you saying his was much bigger.

Most likely you have both PS4 and PS5 versions installed. Delete PS4 version and enjoy free 57GB.

I know I'm probably in the minority here about buying physical copies of games, but I bought the disc version of the ps5 so I could have flexibility, while also saving storage by buying disc games. So basically my point is this:
Why is there no option to buy a bigger bundle for PS5 disc owners?I'm using the link from their Instagram, and it shows that the three premium editions all three of them offer only digital codes for the ps5 and I think that is a problem. Yes, I could always buy the normal disc version, but I wouldn't be able to upgrade and receive the other in-game items that I want(Not to mention early access, and that's what we all really want). And unless the ps4 disc is going to be the same game (it isn't. Think about it, why would they give a ps5 digital version if it is the same as the ps4 game) then I think there should be an option to buy a premium version with a ps5 disc.(also ik they have the same servers for all consoles, but still, not the same game). Is there anyone else that also feels this way?
Probably because if you don't plan on buying a PS5, and it was an extra disc, you could just sell the PS5 disk to someone else.
.
They would lose to much money.Yeah, but there can also just be a bundle that only gave a ps5 disc copy, its not that difficult for them to do.

Probably so you can play it and then in a week sell it. It also reduces the loss at the retail level as retail stores always have theft in a digital world atleast with ps games you cant really steal them. You can steal music and movies and software but PS and xbox games are pretty locked down.
IMIG, but like if they give ps4 disc versions with the bundle, it's only $10 more for the ps5 disc version. Also, they still will have the ps5 version in a GameStop because they will still sell the normal version, just not in a bundle with the early access.
They have ps5 entitlement so it should be fine
The problem is that you get a digital code, not an actual disc for the ps5 version, which is the main problem.
but wouldn't it play just the same. You would just have the ps4 version. They probably did it so they didn't have 8 different versions of the game when they could just add the entitlement into the case. Plus it is probably cheaper to produce ps4 disc
No not the same, they aren't the same game, load times are faster on next gen, and there's a reason they give a code for the ps5 version of the game.

Lol, no idea man, you should have kept reading because he has both the ps4 and ps5 versions of the game downloaded.

My only issue with companies offering digital version to combat resellers is that the digital version should be at least $10 cheaper.
There are no production costs for digital versions once the game goes to print. The companies save both actual production costs on discs, cases, and distribution when we buy digital versions. Their savings, particularly including not only production but the elimination of the resell market, should be passed on to the players.
This expresses my feelings on digital games as well. Digital should always be cheaper than retail. Unfortunately that reality doesn't reflect that of our world and society.

Unfortunately, disc games still install onto your hard drive and won’t save space. You do save a bit of bandwidth though if you are on a limited tier of internet.
Yes, I know they install on your hard drive, but they still save space for example, NBA 2K21 next get is 120 GB for digital downloads, but on my ps5 it is half that at 63.9 GB with a disc.
I think that is because the file is downloaded separately and then installed so it needs twice the space for that process. When installed the original downloaded file should be deleted and the two versions should take up the same amount of space on the drive.

But it isn't though. And I'm not the only person that said that it was what probably happened. And I know fs that there's no way that a game is two different sizes on two different ps5 consoles. Don't call me a lair when I'm laying out the facts that my NBA 2k is 63.89 gb with a disc, and if you look up how much space it takes up digitally, it says 120gb. So who tf is lying now buddy

Well put. Especially complete elimination of the resell market is enough to prove consumers are being shafted. The PS store’s monopoly has digital PlayStation users by the testicles.

Similarly I just checked, and my Miles Morales disc version takes up 39.07 GB while the digital takes up 50 on ps5.... so that's two games.... and I doubt my ps 5 is any different from anyone else out there. And if you don't believe me I've got ss.... So it is common knowledge that discs do save space. Bottom line.

With my ps4 I saved everything to an external hard drive. I know it can be risky if the drive crashes but it saves me a tonne of room

Same here. I picked up a 5 TB drive in a sale on Amazon for about $125 and moved all of my games to it. My entire library - about 200 games - is on there now. If there's an apocalypse after which I'm alive and have electricity, between my Kindle Oasis and my PS4/5, I won't be bored.

Yeah hard drives are solid, but they take so much longer to load games, especially compared to an ssd, but the problem is that you can get a 1tb ssd for the price of a 5 tb hard drive
