Do games even fully come on disc anymore?
Not tryna be a dick but like, haven't touched a modern console in a bit cuz PC.
Don't all new games need like a giant day 1 patch to work anyways now?
But you could sell a disk (as long as it doesn't need an activation code) which is one of the good things about consoles (said by people that have consoles)
Yeah pretty much. I was gifted a collectors edition copy of starfield for xbox when it released, and the media was a metal credit token replica with a download code printed on the side, rather than a disc.
The smart watch it came with was pretty shit too fyi, but that's probably no surprise lol.
