PS Direct here in Portugal has them since yesterday without selling out. I bought it from a different retailer last week here no problem as well.

Wtf... it was 99 two hours ago.

Douches took down the listing and added an £10 extra.

Folks in the UK should just subscribe to hotstock alerts, other retailers are dropping reguarly and are not being scummy like currys.

Currys is just trying to make some money.
Retail has gone to shit because of internets.

It was available on PS Direct Italy this morning for a couple of minutes, went to buy it and i got presented with the "currently not available" as i was checking out, FML...

This has gotten ridiculous at this point

Wow, looks like they added a second batch with stock only becoming available in February (the first was January).

For anyone interested, they are available now on PlayStation Direct. I just placed an order.

So, received an email from a big retailer over here this morning (Euronics) about the drive being in stock and i actually managed to order the damned thing and it's already ready for pickup.

Here's the thing though: I'm having second thoughts since the only games I have on disc are CP2077 (finished the main game, haven't started the DLC yet), Armored core 6 and Nier Replicant.
Grabbed CP2077 digitally for 25€ a few days ago where it was on sale and AC6 is also on sale now, don't really care about Nier tbh.
Basically, 41€ + 25 = 66€ to get the games digitally compared to 120€ that the drive costs...

Basically, I don't know if I really need this but I'd hate for the drive to go to a scalper though

You could probably find a member here you could sell to for retail price.

I was able to get one within a week or two of trying.
Just keep checking Target, Best Buy, PS Direct and Amazon.
Usually early morning.
I was able to order one on Amazon (which I cancelled because it said Feb 2025) and was successful at Best Buy.
If you don't mind paying the Gamestop tax, they usually have it in stock for "Pro" members.

In the long run, it's going to be cheaper. You can get a ton of old cheap games on discs. I buy mostly digitally, but physical games go down in price faster and you can resell them (and buy used).
Maybe you just don't need it now, but you'll regret not having one.

If you don't use it just sell it

Ordered one from the Playstation website (Dec 13). Arrived 6 days later.

Got finally my drive after three months. I only had to order from five different retailers. In order to get the drive I had to order by phone(Media Markt). At least a sensible anti-scalper measure.

F*** this shit.
