Nice! Only would get a Pro if I could also get the drive.

Odd, I was under the impression there was a conspiracy to force everyone go digital and they were gone forever.

They just want you to pay more for what you already had

What's funny about that? I can pre-order games for 50€ and them resell them for a similar price after I'm done with them. I pre-ordered GTA 6 for 49€ ffs, physical is so much cheaper than even digital PC keys.

Nice, thanks for the heads up.

Surprisingly just got one in Australia.
Jb hifi.

Got mine a few days ago. Installed and tested. It’s loud at full spin but slows down and then it’s okay. I like the eject button, I can actually see it.

PS5 launch was the same. Loud when installing or when you initially load a disc.
Otherwise, it was fairly silent.

Typical EB Games had stock and wouldn't sell them to you unless you were lvl5.. absolute BS.

I just sold a bunch of Switch games for slightly over 300 euros, mostly which I either completed or didn't like.
The ability to get rid of old shit for money is why I still do this.

I hit power instead of eject (or vice versa) so many times on my first PS5. Hated that. This is much better.

Don't you wanna own your games? Renting them is pure stupidity!

That's a nice PS account....

Shame if something were to happen to it

It’s the best upgrade beside no coil whine. Almost worth the money.

Related, I use PS5 as the Blu-ray player and bought a dedicated Panasonic Blu-ray player because of this annoying disc drive delay. Turns out it has the eject button and power button placed side by side at the TOP of the device, impossible to see from the front when inside a TV shelf. Whyyyyyy????

I know Valve is infinitely rich and all that, but if Steam goes down the plughole I'm down hundreds of games. Kinda shitty.

Its a risk Im willing to take for convenience. It could happen to any digital store.

ehem....the PRO disk drive, not the slim.

The drives belong to the PRO now.

Yes, there are still people with brain.

If that happens all those games and more are just a click away, and they're yours forever.

And if Steam went down there are millions upon millions of people who would have no problem doing so.

Good, that would tone down the constant crying of people who never owned a Playstation
