I was able to secure one a few months after it launched and wanted a disc one. I always believed in collecting physical copies and believed I would continue to do so now. The turning point for me was during covid I couldn't even get FF7 remake from a store day one and decided to just go digital. On top of that I also am not happy that even some physical media now is just a digital code in a box, or the disc just activates and downloads the game without having the game even on the disc. So I gave up on buying them unless I can get a huge discount on them over digital. I probably have like 3 physical games for the PS5 and 1 was a kickstarter that I gave money to prior to even having a PS5. Otherwise, I may have just asked for digital as well. When I first got the console, it was very nice to play my ps4 games, though, so I have no regrets.
