مع اقتراب الجيل التالي من وحدات التحكم في الألعاب، أصبحت فرصة وجود نموذج بدون محرك قرص قد دفعت العديد من اللاعبين إلى إعادة تقييم خياراتهم. بالنسبة لبعضهم، أدى هذا التحول إلى استكشاف بدائل مثل جهاز Steam Machine أو الحاسوب التقليدي. توفر هذه المنصات مزايا مميزة، بما في ذلك الدعم الأفضل للإمولايشن والفوائد التي تقدمها الألعاب متعددة اللاعبين مجانًا، والتي قد تكون جذابة للأشخاص الذين يبحثون عن خيارات خارج نظام وحدة التحكم.

  2. بصراحة فكرة إلغاء محرك الأقراص في الجيل القادم جعلتني أفكر جدياً بالتحول إلى جهاز حاسوب شخصي، خاصة كما ذكرتم أن الألعاب متعددة اللاعبين مجانية على منصات مثل ستيم مقارنة باشتراكات البلايستيشن. أنا حالياً أفكر في تجميع جهاز بنفسي لأتمكن من تشغيل ألعاب الأجيال القديمة عبر المحاكاة أيضاً. هل لديكم توصيات لمواصفات مناسبة لميزانية متوسطة؟

  6. No, at least not for a while. I don’t buy digital games for consoles, so I’ll keep playing older games until the consoles stop working. I might also get a second computer to connect to the TV.

  9. Asking this on a digital platform full of kids isn’t a reliable source.

    No, I wouldn’t. I strongly dislike the push toward digital-only models where you don’t truly own your games and are expected to accept it. Only someone naive would embrace that without question.

  15. It depends on how affordable adding a disc drive would be and whether physical games will still be released. If not, the Switch 2 will likely be my last console, and I’ll focus on retro gaming and emulation for titles that become unreasonably expensive.

  16. I would only consider buying a next-gen console without a disc drive if there were an option to resell digital games. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money without disc support.

  18. I would be disappointed and probably hold off, since most of my library is physical and I wouldn’t get backward compatibility. Plus, new games on day one cost 40% more on digital storefronts here in Australia.

  21. I prefer having a disc option for consoles because it gives me another way to buy games instead of relying solely on a single storefront controlled by the company. That’s my main concern, so I’d lean toward a competitor that still offers discs.

    I recently bought an Xbox One and have been purchasing both digital and disc games. While I prefer digital, discs are often much cheaper used, even when digital versions are on sale or are the only option, like with some older Forza titles.

  23. Sony has the right approach by launching consoles without a disc drive to keep costs low and offering it separately for those who want it. These days, about 80% of games are sold digitally anyway.

  27. I would only consider buying a next-gen console without a disc drive if digital games could be lent or resold to others. Otherwise, I would prefer to have the disc drive and likely wouldn’t purchase a console that eliminates this option.

  30. No, I strongly support physical media and dislike the push to phase it out as “obsolete.” If a console costing $600 to $1,000 lacks a disc drive, then I don’t need to spend that much on it.

  35. Probably not, or at least not until digital game prices match physical copies. Last time I checked, a digital AAA game was £10–£15 more expensive. Given Microsoft’s recent decisions, I wouldn’t be surprised if they went fully digital to make more money from loyal gamers.

  36. I have no interest in next-gen gaming. The golden age is over, and very few good games are still being released. There are plenty of great, replayable games from the sixth and seventh generations. I do play a few multiplayer games on my PS5 and PC with friends, but again, truly good games are rare.

        1. They are planning hardware, not a console. This Project Magnus is a PC that will cost between $1200 and $1500. It’s not competing in the console market, and they would be lucky to sell 10 to 15 million units.

          1. Xbox confirmed in an October 5 statement to Windows Central that they are “actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox.” For more information, they directed readers to their agreement announcement with AMD.

          2. They often make vague statements that lead people to expect one thing, only to do another. For example, they mention “just these four games,” or claim “play games from across your entire Xbox library” regarding the Ally, and assure that “the price of Game Pass won’t increase due to the ABK acquisition.” I don’t understand why people continue to trust their statements.

          3. I’m not sure. I just bought my Series X in January to replace my aging One S. It’s a great console, but I mostly play used Xbox One games on it, so I’ll wait to see if it’s worth the investment. It really depends on the available games.

      2. The Switch launched at around $400 when adjusted for inflation, so $450 isn’t a stretch. What’s more concerning is that rent has increased by 170% after adjusting for inflation.

    5. I feel the same way and wouldn’t care either way. I’ll still get the console eventually, but I don’t buy new games anymore. I just play whatever looks good on PS+ that I haven’t tried yet. There are hundreds of games from the last decade that I haven’t touched. My interest in gaming plateaued toward the end of the PS4 generation, and even though I got a PS5, I barely play it.

  37. I haven’t bought physical games since the PlayStation 4, and for most titles I ended up purchasing digital copies anyway. Digital is the future, and those who insist on physical media are misguided. I can appreciate the appeal of displaying game cases on a shelf for decoration, but buying physical games is comparable to using a landline instead of a cell phone.

    As for PC gaming, it’s not for me. It involves significant expense, dealing with cheaters, and often poor ports of games that typically run better on consoles. The constant hunt for sales after such a large investment seems unnecessary.

    1. I don’t recall Reddit being available on consoles. Are you using the mobile version?

      Some people have poor internet due to their location. Physical media helps with accessibility. Would you tell everyone to download a 100 GB game over four days?

  38. For PlayStation, I might consider it if it’s the only option for the foreseeable future and I really want a game, or if there’s a significant price difference or workaround. I’d also be interested for cheap, enhanced PS5 Pro games.

    I’m not generally interested enough in Nintendo to buy their console, but if that changed, the price of their pre-owned games probably wouldn’t be an issue.

    Xbox is the only one I’d consider primarily for original Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Even then, it would depend on whether the backward compatibility catalog receives meaningful upgrades or if Series games get additional features. The same would apply to Sony if they adopted an FPS boost equivalent on a similar scale.

    Essentially, I’d want a disc drive if there’s a very cheap disc game from a previous generation that offers upgrades beyond just hitting the target frame rate or maximizing dynamic resolution.

  42. Probably not. Physical media helps keep console game prices down since I can buy and sell used copies. Without that option, I’d rather use an open platform like PC instead of a closed system where you’re limited to one store, which could lead to higher prices.

  43. I’d consider buying a disc drive-free console if they offered discounted digital versions for existing disc games. For example, I own The Last of Us Part 1 on disc and wouldn’t pay another $40-50 to play it on a new console. But if there was a $10 conversion fee to get the digital version, I’d transfer several games I might replay. Otherwise, most of my current games are already digital.

  45. I would be very hesitant to buy a console without a disc drive. There are already more than enough games from current and past generations that I want to play—more than I could ever get through in my lifetime.
