This is not something we demand nor need, but a nice way for Sony to know people would at least like to have the option.

Many of us love (and prefer) to buy physical copies of games; the excitement, the smell, the feeling of unwrapping a new game. But buying the digital version also has its benefits, the most important one being not having to switch discs when you want to play another game.

How about an option that allows people to convert their physical copies of their games into digital ones. Simply put the disc in your PS4, select the option to convert the game into a digital version. The PS4 installs the game onto your HDD, links the game and disc to your PSN account, making the disc only playable if your PSN account is logged in (with the ability to remove the disc authentication for a fee). You can then remove the disc and start up the game at any time. All of this is –again– totally optional.

This combines the best of both worlds: we will still be able to buy physical copies of games (including limited editions), we won't have to wait for downloads to complete, we can keep a collection of PS4 game cases, and hop into any games we own without having to find the case, switch discs and stow away the cases again (especially useful when being invited into a multiplayer game by friends).

If you would like to have this option too, please take a minute to sign this petition.

Sony is known for listening to its customers :)
