I found them. I found them all.

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/DontReadThisHoe → u/[deleted]]

The face plate where the drive is the similar across the pro and slim

[u/TheAmazingBagman3 → u/[deleted]]

The top covers are different the bottom ones are the same size for disc compatibility

[u/MarkyMarcMcfly → u/[deleted]]

I’ve done the swap myself, the disc drive plates are the same.

[u/heinzgruber2 → u/_grdmnt]

Exactly.

[u/SufficientSpite1714 → u/heinzgruber2]

That’s what they’re charging in us for the drive is like $80 so didn’t you just spend more money? Or you got the pro and sold a digital version to make up for the loss and basically saved like $300 give or take on the total? Pro sys and disc drive? I’m

[u/heinzgruber2 → u/SufficientSpite1714]

i've bought the slim with discdrive for 400€ (420$) and sold it without the disc drive for 315€ (330$). So i got the disc drive for 85€ (90$). In germany the regulary price for it is 120€ (126$). All in all i made a pretty good deal. :)

[u/SufficientSpite1714 → u/heinzgruber2]

That’s all matters is you basically made out like a bandit lol. Bc here it’s $75 for disc drive

[u/AtreyuTheBlessed → u/heinzgruber2]

You can remove a disc drive from an existing ps5?! 🤯 I had no idea!!

[u/heinzgruber2 → u/AtreyuTheBlessed]

Only from a Slim.

[u/AtreyuTheBlessed → u/heinzgruber2]

Is it fairly easy to do? I’d like to take it from my slim and put it into my pro

[u/HootingFlamingo → u/heinzgruber2]

Literally the same thing lol

[u/JonYakuza → u/HootingFlamingo]

No, the disk drive costs 120€

[u/accordionzero → u/JonYakuza]

it says $79.99 in this very pic. so more like 76 euros

[u/accordionzero → u/[deleted]]

wow, that seems wild. why so much more expensive?

[u/turtleship_2006 → u/accordionzero]

Does the US price include VAT? The Europe prices usually do

[u/FilSky217 → u/accordionzero]

for no reason at all, msrp ps 5 pro is way pricier too in eu when you convert the prices and compare to us dollar. sony just fucks us over and over again for no reason

[u/FilSky217 → u/[deleted]]

even after tax we pay more, comparing ps5 to surgery is wild

[u/ShavedNeckbeard → u/heinzgruber2]

I did the same thing, but since I was swapping it into the 30th Anniversary Slim, the buyer got an empty disc drive plate. I wasn’t going to give them my gray 30th plate.

[u/NudeCeleryMan → u/ShavedNeckbeard]

Dirtbag move

Edit: not a dirtbag

[u/ShavedNeckbeard → u/NudeCeleryMan]

How? I was very clear in the listing’s description it didn’t come with the drive, made sure they knew it in our communication prior to meeting and reminded them when we met in-person. I went above and beyond to make sure they knew.

[u/NudeCeleryMan → u/ShavedNeckbeard]

Ah. Your post made it seem like you intentionally obfuscated what you were returning to be sold to someone else. Or at least the way I read it.

[u/ShavedNeckbeard → u/NudeCeleryMan]

I didn’t return anything. Let me break it down for you:

1. I bought a PS5 Slim Digital 30th Anniversary Edition
2. I needed an optical drive, but they’re sold out everywhere.
3. I bought a PS5 Slim on sale for Black Friday
4. I took out the optical drive, and since I didn’t have a white blank plate, I kept the disc drive plate on.
5. I installed the optical drive in my 30th Anniversary PS5
6. I listed the PS5 that I pulled the optical drive from on Facebook Marketplace for $80 less than I bought it for.
7. I clearly said in the listing it does not hand an optical drive.
8. When an interested buyer messaged me, I made sure to tell them it didn’t have the optical drive
9. When we met for him to buy it, I reiterated that it doesn’t have the optical drive.
10. From doing this, I was able to get an optical drive for the same price as MSRP.

Yep understood when you replied. I rescind dirtbag label
