With the PS5 Pro releasing this week on November 7, existing PS5 owners with a library of physical games will want to choose up the official PS5 Disc Drive, should you have not already. The PS5 Pro’s GPU boasts as much as 45% faster rendering, AI-driven upscaling, advanced ray tracing, and a 2TB SSD–double the space for storing of previous PS5 models. What it doesn’t have, nonetheless, is a disc drive. Out of the box, the entire games you put in will have to be purchased and downloaded from the PlayStation Store–unless you purchase the official Disc Drive accessory for $80.
PS5 Disc Drive Inventory (November 5)
As of November 5, Walmart is the one major retailer with the $80 Disc Drive in stock and available to everyone. We are saying “everyone” because GameStop has the Disc Drive in stock as well, but it surely’s locked behind the retailer’s paid Pro membership. The PS5 Disc Drive is sold out at Amazon, Best Buy, and Goal.
For those who have not preordered the PS5 Pro, the excellent news is you’ll be able to still snag a preorder for the $700 console at major retailers. Apart from Amazon, major retailers are still offering delivery on or shortly after release (inside a day or two). For those who preorder from Amazon, you will not should wait that long on your console to reach. Amazon’s delivery estimate as of November 5 is Monday, November 11. Best Buy is the one retailer offering in-store pickup for online PS5 Pro preorders. Take a look at our PS5 Pro preorder guide for more details on the upgraded console.
