Some customers feel that the price is a bit high and that it should have been included with the console, but overall, the disc drive is seen as a valuable addition to the PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim.

    Essential Add-On for PS5 Digital Convenience

    The PS5 Disc Drive is an absolute game-changer for anyone who wants to maximize their console’s versatility. I originally opted for the PS5 Digital Edition for its sleek design and cost-effectiveness, but adding the disc drive has transformed my gaming and entertainment experience. Installing the disc drive was quick and straightforward, blending seamlessly with the console’s design—it looks like it was always meant to be there. The performance is flawless: physical games load smoothly, and the drive operates quietly, even during long gaming sessions. What I love most is the flexibility this add-on provides. I can now enjoy my collection of physical PS4 and PS5 games, borrow titles from friends, and take advantage of discounts on physical discs that often cost less than digital downloads. As a bonus, the drive also supports Blu-ray playback, turning the PS5 into a complete home entertainment hub. For anyone who purchased the Digital Edition but finds themselves missing the option for physical media, the PS5 Disc Drive is an essential upgrade. It combines the best of both worlds—digital convenience with the power of physical media. 5/5 stars! Highly recommended.

    Keeping physical media alive

    I bought this drive for the PS5 Pro, and I definitely wish the console would have came with it instead of needing to buy it separately. In the end that was Sony's choice, maybe the PS5 Pro price would have been $750 or more instead if it did, but in any case it is what it is. I'm glad we at least we still have the option to still use physical discs for now as going digital continues taking over. As for reviewing the disc drive itself, it works great. I had to watch a video of the installation since the bottom plate of the PS5 Pro takes some force to remove in order to put this on, and I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. It comes with longer plastic legs to pop on for using the PS5 Pro horizontally, so I have no need for the vertical stand they also sell separately. I bought several games on disc that are much cheaper than what they cost digitally, and I am using GameFly to rent PS5 disc games too. I've already saved the monetary value of how much this drive costs in these few days of having the console, and over time I'm sure I'll save even more money by taking advantage of discs. At this point I'm not sure if the eventual PS6 will have a disc drive or the option of attaching a separate one like we got here, keeping my fingers crossed that physical media will keep hanging on!

    Good, but should be bundled with the console

    Easy to install, just don’t forget the horizontal stand legs - they’re easy to miss. Physical games are often on sale for less than their digital counterparts, making a disc drive a no-brainier for console purchases. I wish this was bundled with the console, but it’s a worthwhile purchase that eventually pays for itself over the generation.

    Great design super easy to install! Looks awsome on my PS5 PRO grey option for all consoles not to be limited to digital only but having the option to upgrade to a disk version if changed the mind down the road

    PlayStation Bluray Drive for PS5 Slim is necessary

    If you get a PS5 Slim digital/disc-free system; the Bluray drive is a necessary to play physical PS4, PS5 discs as well as watching DVD’s and Bluray discs. I installed it easily into my. PS5 Slim without a problem and it synced after connecting to the internet. What is great about having a Best Buy Total plan is that every item that you purchased is covered for 24 months and if anything goes wrong with them, they will be replaced per their policy. Video game consoles I believe all should have an extended service plan especially if you plan on playing them as much as I do.

    Awesome! I'm really happy I held off. I check Best Buy almost every day and noticed some stock popping up. Those scalpers are charging three to four times the price, which is just outrageous! It was super easy to install—just a quick snap, and I was ready to go

    Arrived on time, easy to install. I'm so happy to be able to use discs for my PS5, it's a little more cost effective for my partner and I to buy games after the price goes down. But the main reason I wanted this was so I could transfer some PS4 games over without having to repurchase them as digital copies. This drive was expensive, but worth it.

    Got this for the Ps5 pro before the Pro released. I was skeptical about it working with the Pro since this says slim model but when the pro came out I put this on it and it fit perfect and works as it should

    Advantages: Convenient for using disks. Works properly, quickly, allows you to buy not only a digital copy of games, but also a physical one, which allows you to change the disc to another if you play a game. Thanks to the store for fast and high-quality delivery
