PS4 Disc vs Digital or Both
Digital:
This gen will be making digital copies more appealing with access to your digital library on any system and up to 4 people can be logged in to one profile at the same time , remote play with a ps vita from a digital stand point is the best way to go.
On the downside once you bought it, its yours for life no buy used or trade options and digital pricing, from what I have seen digtal prices tend to be 10 dollars higher when places like walmart and gamestop tend to cut the price after 90 days of the release date on most games. right now I can pick up some games at walmart for 19.99 and ps store still asking 39.99
Physical Disc:
On the other hand disc still have there appeal no/slow internet, A disc doesn't need it and you can buy used or trade in old games at will. theres a certain filling you get from physically owning a disc vs digital own copies
you don't have to give out log in info or lend out your profile to lend a game out
the savings can be huge during the holiday season ie (Black Friday) AAA titles that released in September to October often go on sale for 29.99 and buy one get one free deal are hard to beat and offseason if you know where to look you can find used copies of games that are just over 60 days old for as low as 39.99
On the downside the only thing I can think of is remote play the only game you can remote play would be the one that's in the system
For me im going more digtal this coming gen i dont trade my games and i dont buy used games so theres no real lost there
but limited to the type of games mmo's for sure will be digital where is sports title will be disc copy or i might go digtal for all day one titles and go disc for anything that im willing to wait on for a better price i cant wait to use remote play with my vita
edit: On a side note I was polling outside of the playstation plus program, like i said in a early post with ps+ factored in everyone would say both
I've added a video to the first post a user named SilverK9 has also posted the question of disc vs digital and me a him tend share the same common view
I only buy digital if it's a PSN game that wont be released on disc. The benefits of physical are that I can resell it if I lose interest in it or it has no replay value. Also I can lend it to a relative or friend without having to deal with the limited restrictions of game/sharing.
