The PS5 Pro was announced yesterday and one of the most controversial aspects was the fact that it’s only available as a Digital option, with the disc drive needing to be purchased separately.
The PS5 Disc Drive was already available due to the fact that it can be added to the PS5 Slim console, but at the time of writing, it’s already sold out at Amazon, JB Hi-Fi and Big W (literally as I was writing this story), and only available on Harvey Norman at the time of writing.
You can keep an eye on the listing on Amazon HERE. It will set you back $159 when it’s back in stock.
Interestingly enough, EB Games do not stock the disc drive currently, but we expect that to change and hopefully stock to ramp up in the lead-up to the November 7th PS5 Pro release date.
If you do have a PS5 Slim with a disc drive, you should be able to take the disc drive from that console and bring it across to your PS5 Pro.
Overseas it’s the same story with the disc drive being in the top seller’s list on Amazon, and the new PS5 vertical stand (which was compatible with the PS5 Slim as well), is in the top selling list on Amazon Australia as well.
It definitely seems as though despite the PS5 Pro price response being negative, that there’s at least a handful of gamers that are buying the disc drive ahead of the November 7th release date.
