First, do you have a semi popular YouTube channel already? Because if not why would you want to go full time for? Secondly you are 10 and need your education. People don’t realise a lot of decent YouTubers studied media and the like before becoming famous. Start as a hobby and if it becomes popular then put more time into it but finish your education too because it will help you in the long run.

To add, you are too young for Reddit.

Most games I buy digitally. Only my absolute favourite I want physically so I always have them readily available to play. Also, the optical drive plays the movies I buy physically as well, for the same reason. I stream regularly, but my favourite movies of all time I own so I never have to worry about them being removed and no longer having access to them.

I buy it because I expect to own it once I pay for it. If a digital game came with a cast iron guarantee that I would NEVER be cut off access to that game I’d think differently but right now you’re only ever an update away from losing access to your digital media. Perhaps increasing the standard storage might be more persuasive though

On Xbox at least, downloaded games seems to cost more than the dvd versions. Largely because the store continue to charge full price for many games, when after a while dvd games are dirt cheap.

Downloaded games require the appropriate services to be still there to be able to play. Eg the device that checks your licence. Having said that, more and more dvd games now require Xbox live connection too now :(

If you have a disc you can always put it in the machine. If you want to redownload you are at the whims of publishers leaving it available in the Xbox store.

I purchased a PS5 disc version to save me money.

It allows me to buy a newly released game for £60, complete it within a week and sell it on for £40. Also allows me to buy cheap second hand games.

But saying that... I am getting lazy to the point where I don't want to play a game if it means having to get off my seat to change the disc.

I'd also like to add that I purchased the disc version before knowing Sony were going to do PS extra. I'm sure the next generation of consoles will not give you an option for a disc drive for this reason - there won't be a demand.
