I’m caving and getting DS one for Xmas.
Which one is better digital or disc?

I’d also like some game suggestions as I don’t want anything too awful, I don’t mind some 15 rated things if I’ve checked them (most recently he’s watched stranger things for example) - but this is doable with films and series but I’m not going to try out the games… He’s year 7. Thank you

Disc then you can buy used games and sell them when you’re finished

You can find play throughs of games on YouTube now but tbf since they have to be published games (unlike computer games) none of them are that bad. I was playing GTA and Silent Hill when I was 12/13 and I turned out fine

I want to hold on to the argument about appropriate games for a little while longer with him!

good idea about second hand games and re-selling I’ll do that

We got a disc one to have the option of 2nd hand games.

What does your DS play now? My son was playing Fortnite mostly before we got the PS5. Awful game. It caused lots of upset. I bought him the full Astrobot game to go with the PS5 but wondered if he'd play it as it seemed 'nicer' than fortnite and he loved it. The playroom bit comes with the PS5. The full game is seperate. DS told me Astrobot is PS5s answer to Mario.

Oh great - he also plays Fortnite and initially is was a nightmare - although now he and his friends chat non stop on it, I’ve warmed up a bit.
i will definitely look at Astrobot sounds good thank you!
