Lots of chatter recently about the PS6, lately its the it will include a detachable disc drive. One of the rumors it seems that the console will see the light of day in 2027

EXCLUSIVE – PlayStation 6 is Planned to Have a Detachable Disc Drive on Launch
PS6 – Everything we know about the PlayStation 6 so far
PlayStation 6 And Handheld PS6 Release Dates Might Have Leaked
Great! Great that those who don’t need an optical drive and prefer a lighter machine, will be able to also save some money! And great for those that still buy their games in BluRay, so they can keep playing their disc-based games!

Hopefully PS6 keeps editing their games in physical format. I can foresee that once they go all in with digital, the sales and price drops we see on PSN could disappear. Actually nowadays on the PSN I don’t see as many sales for some AAA first party digital games as I used to see when I had my PS4… but there are still good discounts. Control Ultimate Edition is at 3,99€. If you still haven’t played this AWESOME game, now’s the time.

EDIT: excuse me, I thought I was on the PS5 thread. Now I see this is a whole new thread for the next gen!!! Great, count me in!

EDIT2: hey @maflynn do you think we could pin the main console threads such as the PS5 thread, this one too, and maybe if there’s an Xbox and Switch threads? That way the main console threads would be easily accessible on this subforum…

I'm gonna wait for the PS6 Pro cos it will be more expensive
I waited for the PS4 Pro and ended up disappointed. I now waited until the PS5 Pro and, while it’s a great machine, it’s way too big… and the difference with the regular PS5 may not be as big as I thought. Yeah, it has great Ray Tracing and I can play with RT at 60fps, that’s why I bought the Pro and not the Slim but… I think I’ve learned my lesson, and for the next gen I’m going for the regular PS6, which hopefully will offer good Ray Tracing while also offering good performance.

I'm just a lowly member, just part of the unwashed masses such as yourself - I cannot pin anything :)

Yeah, I know you’re just a mere mortal now like us… but maybe, if you think it could be a good idea, you could send a message or two to whoever can do the magic. If they agree, of course…
