@GamesNosh Plus I can see parents and family members being angry because "I'm trying to buy a gift for my kid. Why cant I find this game in stores?"
And then getting angry when they realize they can't shop around for better deals and they're forced to pay Sonys price in their store.
@GamesNosh I feel like what's likey to happen is that the PS6 is entirely digital. But Sony doesn't change how digital games are sold/bought. So people are forced to buy games through PSN only.
So they'll be forced to buy at whatever price Sony has at that moment. Could be $70, could be $30
Physical discs aren't without problems. They can be damaged and not play, and current games can be too big for a disc and need additional digital downloads. But I'd still rather take my chances with physical media vs. digital only.
Digital only anything is incredibly shortsighted and honestly just stupid.
Barnes & Noble released the Nook back in 2009. Think Kindle/Fire Tablet for books only. My mom worked there and helped teach customers how to use em, so we had a few laying around after a while.
That Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo won't change policy and prevent you from accessing a old account?
That the digital store front won't be shut down preventing you from redownloading the game down the road?
If Sony is removing physical discs, and they've stopped allowing retailers to sell codes for digital games, what do you do? I guess go fuck myself and buy straight from Sony, or buy a whole ass new console if I want to have options on how I purchase a game.
Keep in mind, Sony is facing/has faced multiple lawsuits in multiple countries involving their digital store.
They're arguing they're not a monopoly because games are "available to buy via physical retailers, and via digital Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation and PC stores."

Update: With the exception of some of the ADA seats and the Lawn, everything is showing sold. Not sure if they held seats open for general on sale, that'd be a Box Office question.
For anyone wondering about the Hayley Williams show in Atlanta, Georgia. (Alpharetta but still.)
Lawn is $35. For the 100's section it ranges from $79.50-$89.50
