This new generations of consoles are powerful, but lack basic entertainment features. I just want to watch movies with an external disc drive on my digital ps5. Like wtf? If I want to pay for a disc drive separately, then let me. Seems like nowadays they want to control the consumer and how they buy goods.
Great video and now you did for the PS5 FAT Standard and Digital Versions and now the SLIM Version. All Slim Models need to have Optical Drives registered to the system before they can be used!!!
Not a stupid test. Thanks for demostrating it for us to see. I have a PS5 with built-in disc reader however I'd like to get an additional disc reader so I can use the internal disc reader (e.g. read game) and an external disc drive for watching videos; instead of swapping the discs all the time, which I find annoying at time. Maybe need to "register" the external drive for it to work with PS5 machine; same idea as with gamepad and other "approved" controllers? I suspect that Sony is gatekeeping access to devices using this security layer.
Honestly, this experimental is NOT stupid. How can it be stupid when no one has tried and clearly the console said dvd is playable. All in all, Thank you OP
I wouldn't call it stupid.. but seeing how Sony has their own bluray drive, why would they allow 3rd party units to work? From their greedy POV, they'd be losing money. Even for their own hardware, it still needs to be registered online... someday they'll try to scam you by making you pay to use the hardware you already bought, like unlocking it for an hour for 10 dollars. The future is scary and the average consumer is passively consenting for all that to happen.
I was wondering if a basic external disc drive would work simultaneously with the "internal" disc drive. Basic thought was that I can keep a bluray movie in the external while having a game in the internal. Guess it wouldn't work. I think running it through regular USB3.0 would cause slower read rates for a game to work as opposed to media. Possibly the same with the C.
This is how they ensure you buy their drives. There are no drivers for external third party drives, windows will have or install them from the internet. That’s why it’s not working
I appreciate this! Defiantly not a worthless test. Was trying to figure out which PS5 I would like to try and save up for, I have an external disc drive for my computer from like 5 years ago now and wondered if it would work with the ps5, and could NOT find the answer anywhere. You're the only one that answered the question. Thank you, thank you! I appreciate you!
Technically yes. The disc version they sell is basically a digital version with their disc drive attached. That’s why you have to register it when you first boot the PS5. But that is their own disc drive. I doubt they will ever support external blu Ray drive. It’s just another bs to make it hard to own stuff physically.
thanx for that sony tricks again , thought i would get a ps5 digital pop my own blu-ray into the usb and away i go NOT !!!, thanx for the heads up , pass go collect a subscribe and like
Ngl pops this was very important video that you showed not only that you showed us from blue ray and dvd 📀 but you broke it down so that ppl can understand the video and also the meaning knowing the difference. Great video like always 😎
You sound like your right in my age gap. I graduated 2012 that grinch movie was my favorite Christmas movie as a little one man jim Carrey they just don’t build movie stars like him any more. Loved this video fun little test imo

Though I love the quality of the Apple products, what you said is a very dirty appleish type of thing lol
They are money hungry

It’s not a glitch, it’s the new PS5 shut down animation to make it match new slim design
Needed this info before getting an external disc drive from a 3rd party. Thanks bro.

Same thoughts here. If you find a solution, please reply back here letting me and all of us know. I'll do the same if I find a solution.

thanks. I was curious if I had to buy an official ps drive
The PS5 is Ultra High Definition Disc Drive thats probably can't read it. You gotta buy that
That won't make a difference. It has to be the UHD Blu-ray drive Sony made for the PS5 Slim. Nothing else will work
Really? 4k movies won’t work even though it said 4k on the box? Or am I misunderstanding
@@MichaelM28 I was trolling
@@edgaryzen4925 I was trolling
Tha you for the video, I had this question now that the ps5 pro doesn't have disc drive
How about upscaling DVD to 4K format at ps5 slim? Can take video? I use sony ubp x700 for dvd it is great for me).
but playstation has release the disc drive for ps5 digital right?

Thanks for your information, best job bro
