Sure, you can resell the discs but most games are released so unfinished that you need access to day one updates to make them playable.

If purchasing is not ownership, then piracy is not stealing.

This announcement guarantees I will not buy any future PlayStation consoles. For consumers, discontinuing physical media is all drawback, no benefit.
