    I’m pretty sure that would run you about the same as the external component, so there’s no benefit to going with a third-party accessory

      Yeah, looking at the prices, it’s about right for what it is.

      Suppose the upshot of using a generic component is you could also attach it to a PC.

      Looks like the long term goal of them is to stop selling discs altogether. I couldn’t even get BG3 on a disc when it came out, and I think Alan Wake 2 was the same (only physical copy I can see is the deluxe version with both AW1&2 on it).

      I see the mythical digital savings never made it to us, to the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody. I wouldn’t mind if they actually put games on a discounted price after a year or so, but you can still see several year old games at the full original retail price.
