Both consoles are different options, with the main differences between the PS5 Digital Edition and the regular model being the 4K UHD Blu-ray drive and the price.

So it totally depends on your need. If you plan to buy all your PS5 games from the PlayStation Store, it might be worth saving money and space by getting the Digital Edition. However, it should be noted that you will never be able to purchase and play physical games (CDs) on the device.

The Standard model gives you more flexibility, allowing you to use both genres, digital games and games that you buy on disc. If you own any PS4 games on discs, you will be able to play them, knowing that both consoles support backward compatible games purchased from the Sony Store.
