US shoppers are having a wonderful time hunting for PS5 disc drive stock at the moment. I’m seeing availability at all major retailers, with seemingly plenty to go around. That might not last though, considering the UK is still experiencing its own availability issues this latest stock drop might not see us through. If you’re waiting for your new console to arrive next month, I’d recommend jumping on these add-ons sooner rather than later.
Right now,Amazonis your best bet if you’re looking to buy the PS5 disc drive in the US, but UK shoppers should head straight toArgos. This retailer has just had a restock, but things are already moving fast.
The official PS5 disc drive costs $79.99 / £99.99 and is required purchasing for anyone who wants to play physical games on a Pro device or a digital edition PS5 Slim. The combined price of a PS5 Slim Digital Edition and a PS5 disc drive does exceed the cost of a full-fat PS5 Slim (with the disc drive permanently attached), so if you’re on the cusp of picking up a console it’s well worth spending the extra on the main release. Of course, if you’re upgrading your system you’ve come to the exact right place.
I’ve been scouring the web for the retailers offering these hard to find drives, and you’ll find all my treasure just below. Of course, if you’re securing yourPS5 Pro pre-orderorPlayStation 30th Anniversary pre-orderyou’ll also need this gadget.
October 24 -This page has been updated to include new PS5 disc drive stock at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy in the US. Meanwhile, the UK is in a dry spell, with only Argos remaining at the moment.
