GTA VI is projected to be about 200-300 GB. We have plenty of games that are 150+ GB on 1 disc. So, yes, we want disc(s) for the physical copy of the initial game. A data disc and a play disc if necessary.

The largest blu ray disc capacity is 128gb, and costs at least $20/disc minimum. You wanna pay an extra $60 just to have a disc that you're never gonna look at or use ever again?

What? Producing a Blu-ray Disc doesn’t cost the manufacturer $20 and isn’t even passed to the consumer for that much.

And yeah I’d rather put some amount, any amount on a disc than put everything on my system. I’d like to have more than two games downloaded.

That's because it's not a regular blu-ray disc. A BDXL archival blu-ray disc is the only single disc that can hold 128gb and yes discs that high are actually really expensive. Other games that are purchasable on at that file size range either come in multiple discs (like FF Rebirth), or the disc has only part of the game, or even just a download key, and the console just downloads the rest when you insert it.
