Damn get a load of this guy listing physical discs as if it's a good thing in 2023. The experience of owning a game on Steam is so seamless and convenient I couldn't even handle the frustration of SD cards on the switch let alone a full on disc!

Of course the situation would be different if you live somewhere with a poor internet connection and you play mostly AAA games, then I understand the appeal of having physical media.

EDIT: Also have to add, $600 for a device that can play literally every game I've purchased for the last 20 years anywhere I go is a damn bargain. Consoles have their place and their own advantages but there's really no other device that can do that.

That's fine if you value that experience.

That's an expensive trait to value. I'm happy to rent games, wait a day for them to arrive, and enjoy much lower running costs.
