I have a PS4pro; technically I also already own a PS5 (kid-brother arrangement; not currently in my possession). When he gets his PS6, I'll get my PS5 back... then still keep the PS4 (always been offline: RDR2; GTA5; &c).

If Sony doesn't offer GTA6 on disc, offline: I'll sell the PS5, too. I just got a 5070Ti, so it's probably back to PC-MasterRace I'll go...

Reasons like this [Sony's 2028 disc-stop] are exactly why I won't be purchasing a PS6. At least (in Sony's defense) they're telling us oldtimers about this now, as opposed to on the day of [stopping disc retail sales].

You're assuming that you'll still be able to get a personal computer in the future. With the rate that we are losing the ability to purchase new affordable equipment, I am not sure how much longer personal computers will remain a thing except for hobbyists, and if they will get much more expensive.

		My goodoleboi 1080Ti (equivalent) just gave up the goose... so I did the only honorable thing and futureproofed myself into a 5070Ti. Godspeed, good generatively-transformed futures - may you forever remain pretrained...

Rockstar has already announced there's no disk for GTA 6, if you buy a physical copy it's just a download code.

So not only will a PS5 Pro and GTA6 Ultimate combo cost me €1000, I’m not even getting a disc?

I was planning to purchase a PS5 for GTA6 after the first trailer but I’m not sure about that now.

		I dream of a future Sony crack, where some ingenious youth has modded a future PS6 to use physical media, offline. As a gesture of kindness, this hypothetical hack could require an already-purchased/licensed copy in order to perform... which then allows offline cartridge-like gameplay (e.g. swap SD cards, or something). ---- When GTA5 stopped working (without updating from Win7->10, years ago), I lost a great therapeutic post-work sytem. So I bought a PS4Pro and have never let it get online – FU.sony – never will. But really hoping the cat-and-mouse game of discless playstations bites Sony in the ass bigtime. I've already got $100 for this future hacker's commissary.
