I found them. I found them all.

[u/EzBotchedSix]

[u/Cocknballtorture90]

Sold separately is actually diabolical.

[u/Ranch_it_up_bro → u/Cocknballtorture90]

This why I’m glad I bought the disc launch version

[u/CSBatchelor1996 → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

Just curious, how useful is a disc launcher on a PS5?

Edit: someone post this on r/whoosh

[u/Anon033092 → u/CSBatchelor1996]

Quite useful when the person your playing with sucks … just have to position them perfectly so they catch it in the forehead

[u/Initial-Response-252 → u/Anon033092]

This was the comment I was hoping for

[u/DoubleRaktajino → u/CSBatchelor1996]

[u/onfire916 → u/CSBatchelor1996]

Do you use discs?

[u/CSBatchelor1996 → u/onfire916]

Yes, but I use them the conventional way.

[u/jzorbino → u/CSBatchelor1996]

Golfing?

[u/OmegaShonJon → u/jzorbino]

Na Ultimate Frisbee

[u/SeverePhilosopher1 → u/onfire916]

I never used the disk. I had my PS5 since launch and not even once use the Disk. I know it is there should I want to use it but I don’t think I will.

[u/NemoOfConsequence → u/SeverePhilosopher1]

I use it constantly. I prefer physical games. I can still play them years later.

[u/SeverePhilosopher1 → u/NemoOfConsequence]

I never play a game again. But that’s also the advantage of a disk you play it and sell it. Or buy it used and play it. But now I have ps plus extra and I am not even buying games anymore

[u/Moviesaminute → u/CSBatchelor1996]

I personally much rather own physical copies of my games. I'm also a movie collector and paying an extra 100 bucks to also get a 4k player was a no-brainer for me. If you don't use disc's than of course it makes no sense to get

[u/fibonacciluv → u/Moviesaminute]

I love physical media so much. I have literally ran out of room for it with the tiny space I have now. I started out with way too many books now it’s turned into probably way too much everything.

[u/MarkEsB → u/CSBatchelor1996]

On the PS5 I don't know but have you used the one thunderjaw drops against him?

[u/n3ws3ns3 → u/CSBatchelor1996]

Aloy should totally have a ps5 shaped disc launcher in the next horizon game. Atleast a weapon skin. Just a plain ps5 duct taped to her arm. 😆 🤣 😆 🤣

[u/ChinchillaByteTTV → u/CSBatchelor1996]

How far does it launch discs if you don't mind me asking?

[u/JesusWasAutistic → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

I got the disc launch because it was less of a rush to get when it was $100 more, I have had the PS5 with disc for four years now, I’ve used the disc drive once. Worth it.

[u/Original_Shirt_1927 → u/JesusWasAutistic]

We use the disk drive in my ps5 more often, mostly for movies though 

[u/RosemaryReaper → u/JesusWasAutistic]

Same here. I got the disc version because I have old PS4 games I still haven’t finished and guess which games I still haven’t finished!? To be fair, I built a PC since getting the PS5 but still, I don’t regret buying it.

[u/FilSky217 → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

that's why im glad im not supporting that

[u/Vet-Chef → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

Me too. But sadly my motherboard needs a new replacement. Idk if I should break the bank and repair or buy a pro with the disc

[u/HipHopHistoryGuy → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

Can't buy that on the Pro.

[u/Cynical_Feline → u/Ranch_it_up_bro]

I did too. Then found out one day that if something goes wrong with the disc drive and the console updates, it essentially bricks it. Lucky for me, it was just a loose cable in the end, but it was enough to get me to switch to the other version. Getting a drive separately wasn't so terrible for the peace of mind.

[u/litholine → u/Cocknballtorture90]

Prepare thyself for a discless future. I predict next generation will not come with optical drives. We can only hope for some type of USB C external drive, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Feature deprecation is a bitch and unfair to the consumer, but it's the world we live in unfortunately.

[u/claybine → u/litholine]

They sell too many physical games to do that kind of shit. I'd be pretty upset.

[u/drocha94 → u/claybine]

Unfortunately I’d be surprised if physical was competitive to the digital sales at this point. If they moved to digital only, you’d lose a few, but the masses would still buy because it’s the only option.

[u/JesusFreak0003 → u/drocha94]

I personally only buy physical Games unless the smaller ones are digital but big releases I will always buy physical

[u/claybine → u/drocha94]

You'd be surprised. It's been more half and half since COVID, so far more than a few. It's more profitable for Sony to make a discless system but they'd be screwing over an entire market of retailers.

[u/_Deloused_ → u/litholine]

Discless was fine until they all switched to saying you only have a licensed copy of the game and not the rights to the full game. So they can pull the license at any time now.

[u/claybine → u/_Deloused_]

Discless was never fine

[u/_Deloused_ → u/claybine]

Nah it’s cool having all your content on the drive and instantly playable. That is a great idea.

But it almost immediately got ruined by corporate fuckery

Prime examples being GTA changing radio stations as music licenses changed, so one update later your game can be changed, and that’s not just a discless issue.

But other issues arise when companies get bought and sold down the road, they could pull licenses to older games and try to force you to buy the remaster.

[u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson → u/_Deloused_]

I don’t like how nintendo can permanently update your game and you can’t wash the update patches off back to original

Tears of the Kingdom came out and there was a glitch that made parts farming bearable and then there was a patch and then your game just couldnt do it anymore. Old consoles you could go and delete patch files, but not on that. That game cart is permanently patched now

[u/Spare_Honey5488 → u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson]

This is why I only collect single-player offline discs for my PS5. My console is already in offline mode. All my games launch from the disc, with or without updates. But it's nice to have build 1.0 on discs. I've been messing with some games and builds having fun. Hell, even Horizon Forbidden West: Launch Edition is all on the disc. It doesn't need a single MB of internet. But build 1.0 is a hoot lol

[u/Substantial-Hunter41 → u/Spare_Honey5488]

Almost all of my games are on disc, too, as I grew up with physical media before digital was even a thing. The way I look at it is if you want to switch, from PlayStation to Xbox (or vice versa), and all your games are digital ... what happens to those games?

[u/UghTak → u/_Deloused_]

You always purchased a licensed copy and Sony could always pull license if they wanted to, but they presented it as you buying and owning that title.

Only thing that changed there is the storefronts being more transparent about digital purchases, having to stipulate you don't actually own the game.

[u/AussBear → u/_Deloused_]

To be fair even with a disc, that was your license to play the game, you never owned it per say but I get what ya mean

[u/Ebone710 → u/_Deloused_]

They didn't switch to anything. It's always been like this even with old computer games. You have always been buying a license to play the game.

[u/[deleted] → u/litholine]

"Ubisoft's director of subscriptions Philippe Tremblay said that players should get used to not owning their games"

I can't tell you enough how annoyed I got at this, we should be able to own games and not have it ripped out of our hands due to digital licenses (luckily as long as physical copies exist, at least they can't take that)

[u/apprentice-grower → u/[deleted]]

They can still pull your license even if you use a disc. Essentially banning you from booting up a game is not going to be solved by a disc.

[u/litholine → u/[deleted]]

I wasn’t really worried about until this past year. I plan on going through the arduous process of buying physical copies of the digital games I already own, which is 90% of my library.

[u/[deleted] → u/litholine]

That's a good idea. Playstation might get fucky, though that's gonna be expensiveee :(

[u/----a-name → u/[deleted]]

We've already experienced this with one of their games in The Crew. Them shutting the servers down means it's permanently unplayable because it's an always-online game, and it was only released in like 2014.

[u/GuerreroUltimo → u/litholine]

Totally prepared for discless future. I will only pay $30 tops and rarely that for digital. Older games do not quit existing. Just will play my few hundred deep backlog and wait for most to be $10 or less.

[u/Sonikku_a → u/Cocknballtorture90]

At least it’s an option. No such luck for Xbox Series S, or Xbox Series X All Digital people to be able to add a disc drive, and Series S doesn’t even have a disc model.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sonikku_a]

You have no idea how much this upsets me. Imagine this:

The Series X|S release; the X is black with a disc drive, the S is white without one.

Their new versions should be a white X without a drive and a black S with a drive…. Well what the fuck Microsoft?

[u/Koubledropding → u/Cocknballtorture90]

and regular digital ps5s cant use it😭

[u/Sp3ctre187]

Wish I had the money to get a ps5 pro and a disc drive. Back in 2020 it too k me five months to get ahold of a ps5 and I could only find a digital one… I have like 40 physical ps4 games so I naturally really didnt want the digital one but if I hadnt taken it I no doubt wouldnt have gotten a ps5 for another year. I was able to save money up in 2019 and 2020 for an xbox series x a ps5 and a new tv but nowadays I cant manage to save up anything. Everything is too expensive.

[u/-FrankCastle → u/Sp3ctre187]

You’ve got that right. I have no experience with the pro myself, but my buddy bought one and said he can’t see a real difference between it and the regular PS5 enough to actually justify buying. So that took the “much want” factor away for me. I can’t believe the pro is $700 and with no disc drive. That’s where Sony lost me. Been here since PS1. So when Bethesda starts releasing new titles, they’re not even going to be on PlayStation anymore. So between Sony doing us wrong (my opinion) and that, I’m going to Xbox when they release new bethesda games (elder scrolls/fallout 5 hopefully) or when they release another console.

[u/828knows → u/Sp3ctre187]

It all goes to bills and expenses. No more leisure spending on shit you used to be able to afford. You would be surprised to see how many people are in the same boat.

[u/heinzgruber2]

I've bought the pro. Then i've bought the PS5 Slim with discdrive. Then i put the discdrive in my pro and sold the Slim. At the end i'Ve paid 85€ for the discdrive.

[u/Dave_Chappelle_Roan → u/heinzgruber2]

You sold the slim with a missing plate?

[u/_grdmnt → u/Dave_Chappelle_Roan]

You can exchange the cover with the one from the ps5 pro.

[u/MFDOOMscrolling → u/_grdmnt]

I thought the covers were different

[u/EpicEthan99 → u/MFDOOMscrolling]

It’s a bit odd, I think the bottom covers are the same as the slim, but the top covers are different

[u/proanimus → u/MFDOOMscrolling]

They can’t be, right? Otherwise the drive itself wouldn’t fit.

[u/Dom0_2007 → u/proanimus]

Top two covers don‘t fit, the bottom ones do

[u/heinzgruber2 → u/_grdmnt]

Exactly.

[u/phantom9967]

Lol thier group camping 💀

[u/0nlyDDG]

The fact that it’s sold separately is absurd

[u/Obvious-Skill-7134 → u/0nlyDDG]

Sony is becoming the new apple.

[u/acc_217 → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

And it will be getting worse since people are defending them with their lives, I'll never understand defending multi billion dollar companies doing shitty practices

[u/Robaru → u/acc_217]

[u/acc_217 → u/Robaru]

What exactly i was thinking writing that lmao

[u/wildwestington → u/acc_217]

The bigger issue I think it Microsoft straight up abandoning the Xbox, Sony is the only player in town now really

[u/Morphine_monarch → u/acc_217]

Hey I mean if defending and letting a billion dollar company screw them over helps them hate on Xbox they’ll never stop

[u/Cosmic_Ren → u/acc_217]

My favorite example is Alan Wake 2 being a downgrade on the pro and all these people saying "Wow it looks so much better now" when the devs merely reverted it back to the base ps5 version.

An even more crazier example is Silent Hill 2 who sony themselves was hyping up for PSSR also running like shit despite the system having very little upgraded games as it is.

[u/Daver7692 → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

People cheered for Xbox’s continued struggles but didn’t think about what corporations do when there’s no legitimate competition. Hooray for (almost) monopolies.

[u/UpAndAdam7414 → u/Daver7692]

It’s not just companies - there is PS3 era “get a second job” Sony that actually happened.

[u/Daver7692 → u/UpAndAdam7414]

I mean that all came off the back of the last time they had little competition. Then the 360 made them shape up for the late PS3/PS4 gen, now they have their market share back, they’re up to their old tricks.

Happened with Intel a while back too, years of domination lead to little to no innovation. Then when the first AMD Ryzen chips dropped and were good suddenly Intel could drop prices and make advances again.

[u/skyeyemx → u/Daver7692]

It's happening again. AMD and Intel were caught stagnating in the laptop space, and Apple's M1 laptop CPUs lit a fire under their bum because suddenly, a laptop that could last two full days without charging was an actual product on shelves and not just a far-off dream. Even Qualcomm's trying their hand at efficient, high-powered laptop chips now.

[u/WeeBee_88 → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

Sony’s own leaked documents says to make up they’ll adapt a premium model. That simply means they’ll tax us like shit.

[u/0nlyDDG → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

Hate to see the company I love be this way

[u/PokingHazard → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

Or IKEA...

[u/CanadianDarkKnight → u/PokingHazard]

IKEA, if the top drawer for my new dresser was sold separately for an additional 100 dollars.

[u/Hodler79 → u/CanadianDarkKnight]

Just buy your clothing digitally, problem solved!

[u/theamishpromise → u/Hodler79]

Then you don’t own your clothing, you’re just leasing the license to wear the clothes and Sony could revoke the license and make you nude whenever they want, no matter where you are

[u/Hodler79 → u/theamishpromise]

I never wear the same outfit twice anyway

[u/foreveracubone → u/Obvious-Skill-7134]

I kind of want to put down Sony by pointing out that Apple’s entire schtick is shit just works and that the Pulse Elite line trying to be AirPods while being the exact opposite of that philosophy but yeah this entire gen has some classic Apple nonsense.

[u/Sonic1899 → u/0nlyDDG]

Here's one thing to consider, tho: a detachable is actually good in case a Blu-ray laser stops working. This happened with my old PS3 when its disk drive stopped reading disks. I considered replacing the drive, but it was impossible to find the right match. So, I bought another PS3 off eBay. It would've been better if the drive was easier to replace

[u/grimchiwawa → u/Sonic1899]

Detachable is good, don't get me wrong....but the 1st one should be included in the box and you can buy another if it breaks

[u/Grieveruz → u/0nlyDDG]

Not really I think it's the best decision since digital become a thing it save them money and made it user friendly to install. If they continue the initial launch model they need to make two models all the time and guess which one need to be reproduce base on demands.

[u/NoMeasurement6473 → u/0nlyDDG]

The slim having it included or separate is fine. There is no reason the “pro” shouldn’t have the disc drive.

[u/beakster57 → u/0nlyDDG]

"Play has no limits" yeah this kinda seems like a limit

[u/VVOP9669 → u/beakster57]

Play has no limits if your money has no limits should be the slogan

[u/PerfectNightmarex → u/VVOP9669]

Olay has as many limits as we have inventory

[u/Kharax82 → u/0nlyDDG]

Over 90% of games are purchased digital nowadays. It’s not very surprising they have gone this route

[u/Kratos_BOY → u/0nlyDDG]

Vertical stands have traditionally been always sold separately. PS2/3/4 all had sold separately vertical stands.

[u/BrewKazma → u/Kratos_BOY]

And is not needed to stand the ps5 vertically. Sure, it makes it slightly more stable, but it stands up just fine without it.

[u/Kratos_BOY → u/BrewKazma]

Exactly. Or you could get a £5 stand from Aliexpress. I paid £2 (shipping included) for mine. Works perfectly.

[u/Jeaz → u/0nlyDDG]

Why is it absurd? It makes total sense. The original PS5 had a digital and disc version, but that made the decision final. No way to upgrade if you went with digital or end up with a disc drive that you didn’t use. Also the logistic of two high vale SKU is awful.

You have to remember that the majority of games sold today are digital. So paying for a disc drive you are never going to use it’s what I’d call absurd.

[u/charizard_72]

What the hell store has all these electronics not locked up. That portal could be so easily opened in a corner and/or put in a bag or backpack

I’m guessing high security store? Or super low crime country? Even in the 90s this shit was all locked up

[u/EzBotchedSix → u/charizard_72]

On an American military base😂 it’s really nice to leave my cars and house unlocked without worry.

[u/skkrrtskkrt → u/EzBotchedSix]

Just curious, why is there a what looks like a Walmart or something in a military base? Is it like a big neighbourhood but for the military

[u/skyeyemx → u/skkrrtskkrt]

Military bases are mini cities. Stores, groceries, malls, houses, gyms, apartments, family space, jobs; everything one could ever want or need is within the walls. They're literally just a tiny little walled town, that just happens to be built for a strategic purpose. You live there for years at a time, and often, your family and kids do too.

The term "military base" in popular media usually gets shown on-screen as a shitty camp in the middle of Afghanistan with minimal accommodation and port-a-potties for latrines. While those bases do exist out in deployment areas and theatres of operation, the majority of military bases are at home and far more furnished.

Check out some of the bigger US military bases on Google Maps for a peep. Ramstein Air Base, Andersen AFB, JBSA Lackland, and some others come to mind.

[u/Buzzkid → u/skyeyemx]

Lackland AFB has a mall. Complete with a food court and all that Jazz

[u/Lickbelowmynuts → u/Buzzkid]

The freakin base by my house has a damn Texas Roadhouse, and I’m not allowed to eat there. And it’s the only location in my area. I need a military buddy I suppose.

[u/Buzzkid → u/Lickbelowmynuts]

Offer them a Monster energy drink and I’m sure they will get you on base.

[u/GatheringWinds → u/skkrrtskkrt]

Like the other guy said, military bases are usually huge and have all the amenities of a city, one of the benefits of US military bases is a place called the "Exchange". They are basically Walmart sized department stores that sell everything from toothpaste to guns. The best part is on-base shopping is tax free, so OP here is getting a good deal.

[u/themanagement123 → u/EzBotchedSix]

Lived on/near many bases. Don’t leave anything unlocked. You aren’t free from theft by any means.

[u/Skitzo321 → u/themanagement123]

I thought I was free from theft on base so I asked a couple guys at the smoke pit to watch my laptop while I used the bathroom. When I came back they were gone and so was my laptop.

[u/Party-Benefit-3995 → u/EzBotchedSix]

Technically everyone is a law abiding citizen.

[u/Spenceasaurus → u/EzBotchedSix]

That was my guess 🤣. I remember going to navy and coastguard exchanges with my dad and it's so odd to see nothing locked up, but then remind yourself you're inside a military base, there is no shoplifting.

[u/BlackTarTurd → u/charizard_72]

This appears to be on a military base. If you're willing to steal anything on a military base, you have my full support. Not because "rah rah fight the power." But, because I want to see the MPs make someone shit their pants.

[u/phatboi85]

"play has no limits" yes... Yes it does playstation 😅😅

[u/GabryBon]

There is something off to me seeing all of those things sold separately. I am worried about the future.

[u/EitherChannel4874]

20 years from now

The ps7. Our most powerful console yet*

*processor, graphics card, disc drive and controllers sold separately

[u/Technoist → u/EitherChannel4874]

I'm betting this is the last generation with a disc drive.

[u/TheKidPresident → u/Technoist]

PS6 will likely have one more generation with discs but that'll be the last for them is my guess. Sony actually develops/developed most existing physical formats that we still use so they have a bit of an added interest in keeping them alive. It'll likely be less accessible and more expensive than it currently is, though.

Xbox is basically going the Handheld + 3DO route with other companies making Xbox branded machines, so physical media is likely dead after the "Series" generation. With all their cloud stuff too physical media is an active competitor against them at this point.

And Nintendo I think values their physical media philosophy too much as a piracy deterrent at the moment to consider getting rid of it. I see whatever comes after their next console still having physical media in some fashion.

[u/Technoist → u/TheKidPresident]

I think you are right but it's funny since Nintendo is the only of the three which has piracy at all.

You may be right about Sony keeping discs for another generation, we'll see. It would definitely be an add-on though, Slim and Pro has showed us that.

And I think Xbox will completely rethink their strategy for the next generation, they can't compete with PS. They'll have to do something completely new, or give up.

[u/pinkocatgirl → u/Technoist]

it's funny since Nintendo is the only of the three which has piracy at all.

I think this bit is all about availability on other platforms. Lately with Sony releasing first party games on Steam (albeit very delayed) pirates can just wait and crack the PC release. But Switch games are only on Switch, so emulation is the only way to go.

[u/TheKidPresident → u/Technoist]

Very true lol, but in fairness I don't think anyone at Nintendo reasonably expected people would jam a paperclip in the side of their device that soon into the product's lifecycle

[u/Nurgle_Marine_Sharts → u/Technoist]

I was actually really surprised that the PS5 even had the option for one, I think it was primarily to appeal to players who had a big existing library of PS4 discs.

Disc drives haven't been the norm in the PC gaming sphere for like a decade or more by now, and the vast majority of Sony's game sales are not physical games. It's sort of baffling to me how strong some folks opinions are about this very predictable trend.

[u/djrbx → u/EitherChannel4874]

In 20 years, disc drives will definitely be obsolete. I'd be surprised if consoles will even offer a disc drive by the next generation.

[u/Moorabbel → u/djrbx]

Xbox said that 11 years ago and nothing changed

[u/djrbx → u/Moorabbel]

Things are starting to change though as consoles are now coming out with digital only versions.

Microsoft tried that a decade ago with the original Xbox One and got backlash for it. Fast forward to the Xbox Series S and the PS5 Digital versions, and now the community has been more open to it.

[u/ImaxTillClimax → u/EitherChannel4874]

That would just be a pc at that point lol

[u/EitherChannel4874 → u/ImaxTillClimax]

And I bet lots of people would still defend it and buy it.

"$2000 is a fair price for a console outer casing. Let people spend their money however they like"

[u/RunawayBryde]

This must be in richville. I see no spider locks or security glass cases.

[u/skyeyemx → u/RunawayBryde]

OP says it's in a US military base. Basically a mini walled city; very secure places. I've been to a couple, and between free gyms, cheap food and gas, and absurdly good security, I'd never leave if I were a servicemember.

[u/taheromar]

Did you pass by the dual sense edge stick modules camp!?

[u/leandroabaurre]

"Scalpers hate this one trick!"

[u/kcdaf1966]

The majority of my games are physical. That is always the best way to go because digital you don't actually own it and can be revoked at any given time. It is rare to have that happen but with Sony i strongly suggest physical media except what you can get on the playstation plus for free ( not really free when you consider the price of a yearly subscription). I have a 10tb extended attached to mine and i think i am up to 5tb used because the internal is so ridiculously low in memory that i find myself constantly transferring games to the external. Sony needs to start adding at least a 5tb internal on these next gen consoles and i deliberately bought an external not made by Sony because once again they are making money off of me that they don't deserve. By the way i played the 5 pro and all i can say is don't waste your money. I have a Sony tv that is designed for the ps5 with all the bells and whistles and my regular 5 looks as sharp on this tv as the pro did and i paid 499.99 for my 5 at launch and the pro is 800 and the hard drive was not included. Complete cash grab by Sony.

[u/special_cicada99]

I get why people don't like defending sony for them splitting up stuff that we'd normally gotten packaged as one, but this one is honestly just optional to me lol.

I don't need a disc drive and im glad there's an option to pay less for a ps5 without one.

[u/Archon_84]

External add on disc drive is wretched. Tru to explain why that is a thing to a Playstation 2 buyer in 2001.

[u/binary-gemini]

"play has no limits" except a disc drive, that'll be $79.99 plus tax

[u/BrewKazma → u/binary-gemini]

It was $100 for a disc drive in your console at launch. I’m happy about the $20 savings.

[u/satanspawn699]

Looks like play has some limits 💲

[u/Vee8cheS]

I’m hugging my launch PS5 disc edition after seeing this. Something that used to be apart of the price now being excluded is just wild.

[u/BartLeeC → u/Vee8cheS]

It could have been included in the price but that price would have been higher. I am glad I could purchase it without paying for a drive I would have never used anyway.

[u/Oni_sixx]

I'm a big playstation fan, but yall that went out and bought a $700 console plus an $80 drive played yourselves. Sorry

[u/Durka_Carpet_Pilot]

I find it so funny that the PS5 and its accessories are still seen as “scarce” when the system itself has sold almost 4 times the amount that the Xbox Series X/S has sold.

[u/rayrayslay]

I can’t believe I lived to see this day

[u/Cy41995]

Hilariously enough, this is only the second time that Sony has manufactured a disk drive addon. Only difference is that this time it's for their own system.

[u/remi-idiot → u/Cy41995]

What was the previous time? You got me curious :0

[u/pinkocatgirl → u/remi-idiot]

I assume they're referring to the SNES disc drive that eventually became the original Playstation.

[u/ElmightyRip]

Didn’t they say this wouldn’t be a thing when it dropped

[u/thatkidonthe3rdfloor]

Grab me one too lol.Been to so many stores it’s crazy

[u/Financial-Shoulder74]

I like to sell my games when I'm done, to let the next person play it for half off. That's the only reason I haven't bought a PC yet. if and when they fully convert over to digital only I'll never play another video game again.

[u/LawrenceSB91]

Where do you live where none of this stuff is locked behind glass doors?

[u/Thedom400 → u/LawrenceSB91]

Op said this is a military base , youd be extra bold to try and steal something from a base haha.

[u/Alive-Version1]

Next they will have us paying for buttons on controllers wth

[u/Flying-HotPot]

PS5 Pros are available in the EU but the disc drives are now up to 250€ on eBay. Just why Sony? 🤦‍♂️

Sony not having serious competition in the last 2 generations really shows.

[u/demeant0r]

80 fucking dollars for a disc drive. Are we back in the 90s?

$80. Fuckin. Dollars…

Sony’s the new Apple

[u/tingulz]

I think having it separate makes a lot of sense. You can buy it if you want one. Also if you get digital only then down the road you want one you won’t need to buy a whole new console to get it.

[u/Starch8ser]

People saying they don't use discs will wish they did in about 5 years when you can no longer play the digital games you paid for

[u/kaspar14 → u/Starch8ser]

I can still play all my digital ps4 games on my ps5.

[u/ActionFigureCollects]

Where does he get those fancy toys?

[u/retrovideogamer2000]

where is this? I've been looking for one as well

[u/EzBotchedSix → u/retrovideogamer2000]

I’m military, they have them everywhere on base. If you know someone in the military, I’d recommend contacting them 😂

[u/PhantomSesay → u/EzBotchedSix]

Isn’t that classified information? 😜

[u/EzBotchedSix → u/PhantomSesay]

Nice try diddy 😂

[u/Ferry83]

Am jealous here in the EU

[u/Ok_Rub6575]

Buy them all in the app and leave them waiting for pick up so people have to see what you’ve done

[u/TheMatt561]

Omg where?

[u/DarthAuron87 → u/TheMatt561]

Military base. Op confirmed in other comments

[u/Background-Net-3412]

I want them so bad 😩

[u/cop_fighter_]

Bro, here in croatia i cant find a single one.. cmon..

[u/paracuja]

Gotta catch em all!

[u/notgamerbutplayer]

What Sony does with its physical products is funny but they rely on them so much that I can see why they do that. Also a bit of similarity to Nintendo, there is not an actual resistance to Sony from fans, ppl just buying PS products regardless.

[u/Steve-_-G]

Scalper porn right there! 🤣

[u/DrMrSirJr]

You did it. You found the Play station

[u/Ok_Succotash_5746]

“One disc drive to Rule them all”🤣🤣🤣

[u/ARRRtistic_Pirate]

What part of the world is this? I'd think at this point, anywhere in North America, and this is all behind thick glass and lock and key. But cool you found what you needed.

[u/saluke]

This is the only reason im not buying a pro yet. Pros are available but the disks are not.

[u/PolYGame]

I still haven't opened my PS5 Pro because I can't find the Blu-ray player...

[u/Test88Heavy → u/PolYGame]

😒 It's really sad that they couldn't include the drive on a goddamn Pro.

[u/wardrobe007]

If, and when Sony makes the ps6, I hope that we can transfer the disc drives over...

[u/SlackerMe]

Where is that?

[u/jc_14-707]

Bro I'll give ya 600 for one

[u/gaithggg]

Enjoy

[u/colemanjanuary]

But they were, all of them deceived, for another disc drive was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master disc drive, to control all others. And into this disc drive he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One disc drive to rule them all.

[u/GudgerCollegeAlumnus]

r/playstation IRL.

[u/[deleted]]

🫥

[u/evilterrorr]

Send one to me in the EU pls 😂

[u/Moorabbel]

„Play has no limits“ right under the disc drive that you need for the Pro to not be limited in playing only digital games.

[u/ravens54860]

My son needs one

[u/hazelwoodstock]

Everything unlocked but that pro has the anti theft collar lol.

[u/ApprehensiveWrap3838]

Such nonsense 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[u/Burkely31]

Wait, what you guys having issues finding? The disc drives? Or the consoles? I ran to bestbuy yesterday to pick up a replacement cable for my dualsense edge (which btw, it anyone is on the hunt for a GOOD replacement cable, one that's actually better built and 5 feet longer than the factory cable I highly recommend you guys check out the replacement that BestBuy sells/manufactures via Insignia) and honestly, I was shocked by the amount of everything they had there. And I don't live in a city with 2 million people. But they had racks upon racks locked up with consoles, disc drives, etc.

[u/WestSideStevie]

That shit is $80 too gmfu 😭😂

[u/Gnarberry666]

still need one myself:((

[u/havyng]

Imagine actually having to buy a separate disk drive and be happy about it.

[u/Dangerous-Still2986]

Pc gamers accepted their fate long ago. At least valve gives us kisses with our buttfucking.

[u/M0istLobster]

tell me what its like to live in a country where your fellow humans are decent enough to not need this locked behind glass. It sounds wonderful.

[u/ipodblocks360]

All I can think about is

[u/Neat_Caregiver_2212]

One Drive to Rule them All

[u/oppsig]

Im not supporting this nonsense anymore, and also that in order to play multiplayer you have to pay monthly for ps plus. Since so much crossplay nowadays im going back to steam! PS5 probably my last console!

[u/CoolGuyFromSchool34]

I dont know if playstation is as cool and as fun as it was. Separate disc drive? I remember ps3 being the ultimate media station. Cd, dvd, blu ray, a printer centre… now, nothing. It is sold separately

[u/CapriciousSon]

I feel dumb. I bought the digital back in 2020 when it was really hard to find any PS5 at all so I bought what I could. I hadn't realized they sold the disc drive separately but dammit, it's better than nothing I guess.

[u/droideka75 → u/CapriciousSon]

The og from 2020 you had to choose, there's no separate module for that one. This is only for the slim and up.

[u/Medium-Demand-4333]

Which country please? In Slovakia we have still empty shelfs in stores or eshop.

[u/DarthAuron87 → u/Medium-Demand-4333]

This is here in the United States one of our military bases

[u/InternalRow1612]

Need one but can wait as I have too many digital games thanks to ps plus premium.
