    Best way to play AAA titles BY FAR !!! (if you care about the costs):

    • buy PS5 disc edition
    • when new AAA game releases:
      • buy physical copy
        • physical copies - even on day 1 of release - are cheaper then the digital version. because of the price war in retail stores.
      • play through game in 2-6 weeks
      • sell game on ebay
        • you will get back 50-70% of what you paid for it
    • Result:
      • 70€ game only costs 55-65 € in retail
        • = 10€ saved
      • you recoup 50-70% through selling the game
        • = 30-40€ saved
      • This way the “70€ AAA game” only cost you ~20€
        • thats a 70% reduction in cost

    ​

    This is BY FAR the best way to enjoy AAA titles if you care about the spent money.

    And it can only be done on PS5

    • because on PC there are no longer physical versions - its all “keys” which dont transfer
    • on SeriesX it kinda works - but not as good. Because the market is much smaller because most xbox people just use gamepass and dont buy AAA titles.
