From my experience, the PS5 Digital Edition is sleeker without the disc drive, but if you love physical copies, go for the standard version.
PS5 Digital Edition is $100 cheaper. No disc drive, no physical media – just pure digital downloads.
One has a disc drive for physical media; the other doesn’t. It’s as simple as that!
