I thought most retailers do not accept opened discs as returns. Either way, downloading the game from disc would certainly be abused by many and thereby lower physical copy sales. ARich there's also PS4 game disc rental service somewhere out there. Actually yeah by 'return' I was making the assumption of a rental but I guess that business isn't as big as it used to be — GnomeSlice.

They decided against it, figuring that gamers would never want to feel 'blindsided' and would prefer to make their data management decisions manually. Probably a good choice!
The disc installation is required on PS4 because the console is not designed to read games off of discs. It's not a PlayStation issue. It's a physics issue. The machine may have a Blu-Ray drive that's about three times faster than the PS3 and sixteen times as much memory, but it's still more expedient for the PS4 to read data from its own hard drive.

Cerny couldn't provide as narrow an estimate on how long a player who decided to download Knack would have to wait. That depends in large part on a user's Internet connection speed. Ideally, he said, they wouldn't have to wait more than an hour before beginning to play the partially downloaded games. Other games may be set up differently, allowing users to start playing them sooner or requiring them to wait longer.
With these kinds of download speeds and requirements, players may want to queue their PS4 downloads long before they want to start gaming or download in the background while doing something else.

I decided to do a breakdown of which is better, and thought I should share it with you guys so perhaps it can help you decide which is better.
You do not have access to the entire library as you cannot remotely swap discs.
