The new PS5 has the same problem as the Xbox One and Xbox Series X: it will be easy to put the system into a useless state after official support has ended.
I'll definitely only ever use original PS5s. I just hope that the PS6 doesn't have the same problem. |
Disappointing news, but for preservation's sake, thank goodness the original PS5 was able to get out there unblemished.
PS5 Pro will likely possess the same issue, but fingers crossed. At the worst case, might be useful to stock up on 2 or 3 disc drives, and connect them to the internet before server shutdown (with the Slim version).
I'm more curious if they'll bother with a disc drive at all in 6. I feel like they'll probably do a digital only, with a disc drive sold separately.
