Imagine trying to explain to grandma that you can't play the new fifa disk she got you because you have a digital only console.
I'm surprised Scott didn't say that during the video. Sounds like something he'd say.
Imagine imagining things all day.
well at least they can't buy the wrong game.on wrong console
Grandma would buy you a gift card so you can buy what you wanted anyways
“No Grandma, you are supposed to grind the disc into dust and sprinkle it in the console’s airvent”

He’s not wrong.

Very sad to see. It's nice to have an original theme, but we'll always miss Breakout.
I was doing the same thing, look for when it changed
My uncle died and I'm breaking down cuz we'll never hear Breakout again at the end of Scott the Woz no!

@@Kola25_97 that's the joke
I work at a gamestop (which is loads of fun lemme tell you…) and trying to explain the difference between all digital consoles and disk drive consoles to parents, grandparents, and little kids is the fucking WORST. NOBODY understands it, and people just usually go with whatever is cheaper only to end up more confused.
It also doesn’t help that Microsoft needs to get the fuck over itself and come up with names for their consoles that don’t confuse the everloving SHIT out of everyone. Going from the Xbox One S and One X to the just changing to Xbox Series S and Series X has made things SO confusing for everyone. I can’t tell you how many times people come in asking for the “Xbox One X” when they mean the Series X. I’ll get halfway through a conversation before the realization kicks in that something ain’t right here. It’s just miserable.
I ordered the xbox one s thinking I was ordering the xbox series s and I was so confused when my coworker told me that I ordered the wrong one.
As someone who barely keeps up with anything Xbox and could barely tell them apart: Your comment is the one that finally taught me the difference between these Xbox versions lol. Thank you.
🤣
At least you try to tell them what’s right and what’s wrong tho. Good on you bro
@@julianpuentes2361 actually you ordered the best console to STOP at. Youre not missing SHIT on Series S and X (Stupid name)
I don't think I'll ever buy a console that doesn't have a way to play a physical game. It feels like a good way to be trapped into buying over-priced games. Considering the new industry standard is $70 now, I feel justified in that thought process.
PC gamers:
@@umamifan 🏴☠️
Exactly, the day the consoles go all digital, I’m out. At that point, all just play everything on the pc: more available storage, more storefronts, more backwards compatibility, more forward compatibility and much more.
At least on PC you get multiple storefronts with some pretty great discounts if you look around enough. Meanwhile if you exclusively play on console you probably don't know you can find game keys on other websites at discounted prices and are stuck buying only on the console's own store
It does Defeat the whole point of a Console other wise might as well go pc

"Have you ever tried downloading a whole video game?"
And suddenly, everyone who owns a Steam account feels called out.
Honestly I would totally buy physical PC games if they were still offered, it took me a whole damn day to download Deathloop and by then, a lot of the excitement of playing the game had worn off.
Sometimes I regret switching to PC.
As someone that exists, I can confirm.
@@Spewa-em8cm Meh, I don't really want a disc drive in my computer. Maybe physical distribution via USB stick would be cool though. As for the excitement part, I personally don't mind waiting for a download (especially with how often sales mean I buy games in bulk), but I can see how it would be a roadblock for others.
For some reason downloading games on steam is like 5 times faster compared to my playstation so I don't have much of a problem with it
I love PC gaming. But my Series X/PS5 is fast approching the performance of my 1080ti PC. In some instances the better optimised console games (Halo Infinite etc) runs, looks and plays far better on the console. New games tend to crash less on the console too.
And I am absolutely dredding upgrading the PC this time. It doesnt seem as worth it compared to 5 years ago.

The last time Breakout was used as an outro
I asked for a PSP for Christmas when I was younger solely to play Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The PSP Go had recently come out and the employee at the store convinced my Christmas shopping parents to get a PSP Go instead because it was the newer model. On Christmas day I got a PSP Go and PSN gift card. I charged the Go excitedly on Christmas morning, entered the PSN card, went to the digital store to search for Birth By Sleep.... "no results found". After looking it up I found out the game wasn't on the PSP Go due to it being larger than the max game size the Go could handle and I was stuck with an open product and being unable to play the single game I was waiting all year for. Probably the most devastated I've ever been on Christmas day. Nowadays I'm probably never going to buy a physical game again, outside of collectors editions, but I did have a vendetta over digital only for quite awhile because of that.
Love your pfp mate.
That employee scammed your ignorant parents
Were you ever able to play the game?
@@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457 Seven years later I played it on PS4 when it was part of a rereleased collection. I had already watched the entire thing by that point so it was a bit bittersweet, but I still think it holds as the strongest overall package for kingdom hearts title.

6/30/22: last video with the OG outro theme and it just makes ya sad 😢
Rip breakout
Yep
I really think the biggest thing holding me back from All-Digital is the lack of solid ownership.
I had a friend who lost his Steam account-every single one of those games, thousands of dollars spent over years and years, suddenly vanished. Or if my Nintendo Account is ever banned for whatever reason, valid or otherwise, I will suddenly lose all of those games.
At least with a physical game, I _own_ it. No matter what happens, the internet could spontaneously explode and malicious AI could take over all the world’s interconnected systems and infrastructure, but my disc copy of Metal Gear Solid will in fact still boot up a copy of Metal Gear Solid no matter what happens.
The exploding is valid but Malicious AI would make your system useless as by that time your console is linked to the internet. Making sure that you cannot boot it up.
Physical games on a PC are useless. Why?
There is a key in the box that gets bound to one account. Lose that account and the physical copy is useless too.
There are games I will buy physically and games I will buy digitally - and its exactly because I once had an Apple account with a few thousand songs that vanished! You don't own digital, you just pay up the butt to rent it before it goes away.
@@Anedime I'm saying that in the future consoles would be more linked to the internet with if there are still things like game disc. Therefore AI would just hack it if they dare to turn it on. Making the system useless.
The thing though is that the average person simply doesn't care about game ownership. There's even gaming enthusiasts who I've seen trade in their last gen console and all of their games with it because "it's time". Most people just want games to be convenient, and if owning games is inconvenient, then that's the way it goes.

Last video with "Breakout" as outro song
Who would have thought this would be the last video where the ending "Break Out" would be used. Definitely it's incredible to look back on how much of a staple it has become on this channel.
We are being spoiled by Scott in the last couple weeks but I absolutely love it. Keep up the vids!

The biggest problem is that you cant feel a digital Wii U game, the feel of a Wii U disc changes a man for life.
Those weirdly soft edges on Wii U discs really are something else
@@MatthewNovak word. I always wait a few seconds before popping in a disc just to feel the smoothness.
Being able to randomly look at them is important
Absolutely true!
So satisfying.
Rest In Peace breakout you will be remembered
This is the last video with the iconic ending theme.
I nearly made the mistake of buying an all digital PS5, then I realized how much astronomically cheaper physical games are. Often you save more money spending the extra bit for disc compatibility
If only Sony had steam like sales than the digital edition would be more feasible
Edit I’m completely wrong stop replying
yes
I think at this point I would even care if I if it was a digital one. I've been looking everywhere for one. I don't want to pay scalper prices so we'll see how long it takes to find one for retail.

The price difference of the S/X *really* makes a difference in lesser "rich" countries.
I'm from Brazil (Yes, the Zeebo land) and the difference here is 3000 reais. That's literally 3 minimum wages.
+1, Im from Poland, I bought almost new Xbox Series S with two gamepads for 1000 zł - Xbox Series X with two pads cost 2999 zł so 3 X Xbox series S
Minimal wage in Poland in 2022 will be 3010 zł, so you need to work full time (8 hours a day, 5 days a week) for whole month to buy it.
This is true. Just the compare both Xbox series x and ps5 are 5000 BRL, but the ps5 digital is 4500 BRL and the séries S is 2500 BRL.
Not mentioning the value of pysical games vs game pass here
The Series S becomes a freaking good deal
@@superninja252 games will come and go on game pass though
@@prkp7248 That's at least manageable, Brazil has both an awful minumum wage as well as the most amount of import taxes(maybe around 50% of any imported eletronic is tax) here you'd need to work 5 months to get a ps5, IF you find it at "normal-ish" price
ever since I saw digital I always scratched my head wondering. Why isn't this cheaper! Especially with Nintendo. They like to charge full launch price for games in clearance bins.
Exactly! Why is it okay for Nintendo to still charge $60 for launch titles like Breath of the Wild five years down the line on their digital store when by all rights they should've had their prices permanently slashed to $20, $30 max?

Having digital options, especially for handhelds is great, on my Switch if a physical copy exists at the time I want to purchase I will go for it, but I don't mind having digital versions of games especially when I travel it's less stuff I have to bring and keep track of.

I just bought one yesterday off an impulse buy. Perfect timing.

Ones for the charity event
he could borrow from a friend for the video, and or use empty boxes (he doesn't show the irl ps5's in the video just the boxes that I noticed so i think he only has one ps5 and the xbox's, and i think he borrowed the digital or bought it used for cheap if I had to guess), he could have also gotten in with the companies and been one of the first in line for them at launch and if that's the case they arent "that" expensive. (In comparison to Scalper prices) I mean Im a broke college kid and i managed to get my hands on a Ps5 it just took saving up pre launch and then waiting for a good deal.
I like having physical games, but there are some games I’m glad to have on digital. The trend of creating consoles that are digital only is kind of worrisome to me. And like Scott said, it makes sense from the perspective of the business to make download only consoles. And I don’t like their reasoning.
I mean making digital only consoles is just the natural evolution. I mean I doubt many people would get pissy that consoles don't have slots for old cartridges anymore.

And the fact taht you can't fully experience games without patches. So a physical copy is not owning the game, it's owning a physical licence to install the game instead of a digital one.
@@coolcatbaron yes you can. Very few games actually require updates before playing. The games see on the disc.

Exactly. Physical media is useless with modern games.

YEAAAAAAH you show your wallet who's boss!
😂😂
That sounds exactly like a joke Scott would make
Being an old fart in internet years that's been around since the 2600 was still on store shelves, the all digital trend concerns me a bit. I still have every console, cart, and game disc I've ever owned. If I want to play them, I just pop them in. That's it.
Now even with physical media you have to download huge day one patches on most AAA titles, so having the disc won't mean much when those servers are gone in - at _best_ - 15 years and you can't download the patches needed to finish the goddamn game since everything launches half-assed and half-baked now. If you're not into emulation, there are tons of games that are just going to be GONE when the HDD in your console eventually dies _because all HDDs eventually die._
I still buy physical whenever I can, but this trend is already making me savor the new games I'm playing even more - if they're playable at launch, at least - since part of me knows they're eventually going to be gone.
Nintendo seems to be the only company releasing complete games on carts anymore, and that's not an across the board thing, just mostly.
I feel the exact same. I've been collecting games for about 15 years and the push toward digital only is really freaking me out. The servers that will eventually shut down, the HDD/SSD that might break or die, the dlc that have no physical form and will eventually get lost when the servers will go down... Of course physical have its own set of problems like disk rot and physical damage to the CDs but those things are all avoidable with proper care at least.
Or, just use emulation
Or homebrew your systems

You think that Nintendo card is future proof?
The only thing that's future proof is things you can easily backup and copy, meaning if you're "not into emulation" and for some reason dislike PC gaming, then there's absolutely no future proofing for you.

He really has. And the quality hasn't dropped either. I just hope he doesn't get burned out.
I had a Series S briefly, it was my trial run for Gamepass. It's a good starter console at an easy to stomach price but the storage issues creep up real quick. I also go almost all digital on my Switch but I can get a 500 GB SD card for like $80 and the games are way smaller. I've got a Series X now and a few cartridges for Switch and have come to the conclusion that options are indeed better!
Dude where did you get that 500 GB SD? I have a 64 GB one and that shit's tiny, i still can't have all the games i want downloaded at once

I remember me and a buddy being stupidly hyped for the PSP GO. It seemed like it was fucking amazing that everything was digital. I also absolutely loved the design of the console. I lost access to the 15 PSP games and movies that I owned but it was worth it to me for some reason. It broke 3 days after release. Luckily Gamestop was able to replace it immediately but it was a bad sign lol honestly I don't even know what happened to it. I don't remember selling, breaking, donating, or throwing it away but I haven't seen its probably 9 years at least

@@pixels_per_minute I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve mostly quit using my PC. I spend most of my time playing my switch and the decent library I’ve amassed.
That's probably the thing I missed the most when I moved from consoles to PC, having a physical collection is really nice.
The disk drive in my PC stopped working like a year ago, I've never even considered replacing it. In fact I kinda regret including it when building the thing, I maybe used it a dozen times total.
This is now an ancient relic of a past civilization. The last video with the old outro.

For a while, the Series S was the only new console you can find available in stores. Bought myself one early in year with an external harddrive and have been very happy playing through the GamePass library. I skipped the Xbox 360 and Ones generations so I had a huge backlog to go through. The Series S is hands down a great deal if you plan on paying for GamePass.
Fun fact: using dev mode, you can install emulators without hacking your console on all Xbox ones/series x or s.
I have a series x and came to the realization a while ago when game updates became as big as the game that having a disc drive is becoming more redundant over time. If you add in game pass to the equation.
With only 512 gb of onboard storage, that stress ends up being more of a hassle with constantly downloading games and managing what to delete.
@@StewHeisenberg 1) its only half that of other consoles. Realistically you’re not experiencing a new stress (i need two external drives for my 1 TB consoles minimum anyway, 512 internal doesn’t change much)
2) you’re entirely forgetting the targeting audience. the series X exists for hardcore gamers. The S is there for general audiences and families or as an additional console at a much lower base price and much smaller size. The people who want a series S aren’t as likely to download as large games. And you’re not going to download as large games as the Series X. Plus with cloud streaming on console there’s a lot more ways to avoid huge downloads.
@@StewHeisenberg tbh i have been using it for more than a year and its not a big deal, seriously
It must really suck for people who accidentally bought digital only consoles thinking they're the standard disk drive versions.
Presents from grandma.
@@SumDumGy_formerly_Tim_Walden That literally happened to me on my birthday, all though I was okay with it. On my birthday my grandma and grandpa saved up to buy an Xbox for me and my siblings. She didn't know it was all digital so she just bought another one that accepted disks and gave us that to take home while she let us keep digital one at her house.
I had a PSP Go when I was a and it was
awesome! So much so, that I bought another one in my adult years and got into modding. Underrated and far ahead of its time.
There is an ad that cuts off the 7:52 scene where Scott is shot by a gun as soon as he says digital only is better in the later generations of consoles. That is a very creative way of implementing ads into the rhythm of the video because the scene is comicaly interrupted just at the right moment.
Hi Scott!, great video as always! Here in Mexico is actually cheaper to buy digital games whenever they are with an X% off rather than buy used games in game stores. We are already paying a stupid amount of taxes for this kind of entertainment media, so digital-only video consoles will always find their market ✌🏽
Amazon has been trying to "match" prices whenever there are digital sales. Still love the fact I can buy and download a game when Im at work or just outside having fun.
I agree with your reasoning. Where I come from we don't have access to Amazon delivering and whenever you want to buy a physical copy you have to pay between 10 and 15 $ extra in taxes.
Having the possibility to buy a digital copy, way cheaper without taxes, being able to predownload them so that I get to work in the morning and when I come back can easily start playing is just to good for me. And I think it's the same for many latin american countries.
And that’s why Mexico government put a new tax on digital software last year in the middle of the pandemic

@@superC1266 I think it was mostly just a jab at newer entries in the series that seemingly don't even bother compressing the titles to any real degree. I'm mostly a PC guy, though I own a Series S. I have the same issue with Forza Horizon 5. I mainly play that on the Xbox, but the game, itself, takes up a third of my storage with the base installation, and is also being constantly updated.
I have a PS5 disc edition and a Series S. I feel like it's a perfect combo of both worlds.
Hey Scott, All Here! Happy new year! I look forward to the 2022 lineup! PS: VERY exited about the quick upload schedule with actually quality uploads!
As a series S owner the description of “for those who only kinda want an Xbox” was spot on. It’s just a game pass machine.
Bruh a verified user made almost this exact comment half an hour after yours and they have like double the likes already smh
Exactly. I was looking for a Series X for a while, but the more I thought about it, I am just probably going to use it for gamepass. So I settled for an S.

this video really made me realize that the Xbox One S and that one model of Tesla Cars really have a lot in common. thanks Scott!
I remember all these same arguments back in the mid 2000s when steam came out. Now my current PC doesn’t even have a drive anymore
The way he opened the UMD tray on that PSP almost made my heart stop.
My major issue with the digital only Xbox One S is that they took out the disk drive, but didn't upgrade the storage. A digital only home console is a prime reason to upgrade the storage.
at least you can upgrade your storage with any drive you want. I find quite funny that after this Microsoft decided with Series S to halve its storage and make the only available upgrade more expensive than going for series X to begin with
disks still make you download most of the game anyway, so you arent saving much storage
MS even made a 2TB regular Xbox One S when it released for a good while, I actually have that model and I don’t even need an external hard drive yet, though those days are coming soon with the Series X or a check of Game Pass
I wished they'd stuffed a 2.5inch hard drive bay and caddy in under a flap to use the disc drives sata port and let you stuff it with as much full speed storage as you could buy.
@@Hayden2447 you don’t need an external drive anyway. Why do people not get that the Xbox One uses a standard SATA drive. You can literally pop an ssd in that bad boy
