Due to the steam sales and deep discounting its easy to buy games on steam for much cheaper then the consoles. For console where a game may be £60 for several years, buying physical means you can resell. For anyone with a budget, it makes a huge difference on how many games you can play.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is €59.99 on Steam and if you wait for a sale €14.99

For PS4 you can buy the disc version for €19.99 regular price and €17.99 on sale. Used discs start from €9.

If you don’t mind waiting for a sale then Steam is great. Otherwise PlayStation is a better deal.

		For context, I purchased physical PS4 copies of: RDR2, GTA5, Fortnight, and 2077 – for about Steam's online price for just RDR2 – all "used," from Game$top. They play perfectly, hopefully forever... Steam is the entire reason I even bought an offline PS4Pro in the first place!. Years ago, they required an update from Win7 to Win10 (in order to keep playing my therapeutic GTA5, which for some reason required an online connection for single player gameplay?!?!). After some rageful months without Trevor'ing, I bought my first-ever gaming console – love it. Stays offline, just in case Sony wants to brick my PS4, too (fucking hypothetical corporate bullies!)... Imagine a day where Sony drives around with trucks broadcasting WiFi signals instructing rogue, ostensibly-"offline" PS5s to self-destruct, via backdoor GHz... ---- Welcome to /hn/ – I've appreciated many of your varied contributions (keep it up!).
