IF the only difference is the blue ray drive, I cant see it being £100 price diff, maybe £50 at most , it doesn't even have to be a writer which you can get for sub £60 at retail and have been able to for years.
Now there could be an argument for it not to be a standard BD drive, but at some point that really just firmware changes rather than anything majorly specific to PS5 (pure guess work admittedly)
I also don't really think it makes that much difference to Sony whether you buy digitally or physically , you are locked into the eco system by buying the console in the 1st place. Just because x users buy with a br drive doenst mean they wont be buying a large proportion digitally, it just means right now they have a lot of discs they still want to play (and that could be movies as much as games, as per the ps3 when it first came out, not like Sony don't have a history of cross marketing consoles).
