As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the imminent release of the PS5 Pro has me both excited and somewhat perplexed. Excited, because who doesn’t love a new console with enhanced capabilities? But also perplexed, because the hunt for a disc drive is proving to be quite the challenge.
If you’re an owner of the original PS5 and have a collection of physical games, it would be beneficial to get the official PS5 Disc Drive, especially since it’s not included in the upcoming PS5 Pro model launching on November 7. The PS5 Pro offers impressive enhancements such as a GPU capable of up to 45% faster rendering, AI-driven upscaling, advanced ray tracing, and a larger 2TB SSD, doubling the storage capacity compared to previous PS5 models. However, it’s important to note that the PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive, so all games you want to play will have to be bought digitally from the PlayStation Store or you can opt for the additional cost of $80 for the official Disc Drive accessory.
PS5 Disc Drive Inventory (November 5)
- Walmart — In stock
- GameStop — In stock, Pro members only
- Amazon — Sold out
- Best Buy — Sold out
- Target — Sold out
By November 5th, Walmart stands alone among major retailers in offering the $80 Disc Drive for sale to all customers, as GameStop has it in stock too but only accessible with their Pro membership. Meanwhile, the PS5 Disc Drive is unavailable at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
As a fellow gamer, if you haven’t secured your PS5 Pro preorder yet, here’s some exciting news! You can still nab a preorder for this $700 powerhouse at major retailers. Except for Amazon, all other big stores are promising delivery on or close to the release date (within a day or two). However, if you decide to go with Amazon, your console will arrive sooner – their current estimate is November 11. The only place offering in-store pickup for online PS5 Pro preorders is Best Buy.
