Tip for new installers: make sure you line it up correctly. I had mine slightly off the correct spot at first and gave it a little push and it didn't feel right, so I lifted it up and tried again. I did made a very tiny dent in the metal right next to the power pin and was scared I had ruined something, but I put it in a second time, gave it a light jiggle and it slid in easily. Fortunately the PS5 Pro picked up the drive right away and the tiny dent is probably just cosmetic, but it had me sweating for a brief second.
We just opened one out of the box brand new and got this message. Instead of clicking "OK" we just stared at it dumbfounded until we found this video. Thank you.
0:35 How do you know which panel is the bottom (disc) - when lying flat horizontally? Since you flip it. Also you didn't show how to attach the new plastic feet
I picked up my ps5 pro yesterday morning and spent all day yesterday and most of today looking for the disc drive which most stores here were sold out until I found one gamestop had one left in stock
Should have bought a base ps5 Console and it comes with a disk drive 😂. Unless you replay your ps5 games then I can understand why people have bought a pro or you didn't buy a PS5 until now.
On the Backside of the disc drive Close to the socket, theres a small metal pin, mine broke off and i installed it without that piece.whats the purpose of that small metal pin and can i still use it without it?
Question I’m trying to turn off profiles on my dual sense edge controller so I can play on my pc but when I tap fn 2 3 4 or four dots appear out of no were what do I do
Because if you are purchasing a new game, you can buy them cheaper physical as opposed to the PS store. You actually own the game as opposed to just paying for a licence to play the game. You own nothing digitally.
@ if it isn’t electrical it might be for physical latching. In the set up it says a loose disk drive could lead to data corruption so that is my worry.
If you dont have a ps5, i guess I understand getting the pro... but it honestly just doesn't seem worth it. I have a Ps5, xbox series x, a switch and a decently powerful PC. I dont see the value in upgrading given that they aren't enough ps5 exclusives this console itertion. And given that my PC will outpreform the pro and the next few iterations of playstation, I cant justify the purchase.

The first thing you need to do when you get your PS5 PRO 😁
I'm trying to get one, but they're all sold out 😭

Did you tried registering without login to psn account.

Excellent, short, sweet but very helpful video
Tfs 👍🏼
Thanks!
very helpful. my drive arrived today..haven't opened it yet.. i had no idea it went inside..figured it would be like an external plugged in

I just got the PRO,but there are no disc drives în stock in my country
I Will play some digital games I have until the disc drive comes back in stock
Good luck 🤞
Great video 👍

Can you put a disk drive on a launch model ps5
The front right two won’t go down in there and I’m afraid to push any harder for fear of breaking them
Make sure the back is clipped in position then try.
Thank you!

*SO GRATEFUL THAT MY PS5 COMPACT HAVE A DISC READER 😇😇😇*
What’s the point of a disc drive when you still install the game to the nvme. For movies??????
You can still buy disc games and if you buy a used one you can get them quite cheaply.
The box says it is for the slim version only?
@@sle2979 And for the pro
On the Backside of the disc drive Close to the socket, theres a small metal pin, mine broke off and i installed it without that piece.whats the purpose of that small metal pin and can i still use it without it?
How come it doesn’t say ps5 pro anywhere in the settings or menu?
I was surprised by that, looked around and nothing anywhere
I actually prefer putting a disc drive, well that's because I've got more physical games.
Havent bought a disc game in years so il stick with it being digital.
I refused my pre-order delivery and bought the slim.
My senses kicked in when my pocket felt empty. 😩
Don't feel bad for being a smart consumer!
Question I’m trying to turn off profiles on my dual sense edge controller so I can play on my pc but when I tap fn 2 3 4 or four dots appear out of no were what do I do
If I remove the drive from the slim version, will it work? Or do I need a drive that is sold separately?
It works.
The ONLY games I own the disc for on ps5 are horizon forbidden west and Astro bot. Those were gifts, why do people act like you NEED this?

Is this Temu PS5?
I haven’t bought a disc in years so it would be useless for me personally
👌
i broke the pathetic pin next to the port. They make extremely difficult. I hope it wasnt electrical and necessary
@@FVLMEN Me too. Doesn’t seem to affect functionality so far but… who knows what it is for?
@ if it isn’t electrical it might be for physical latching. In the set up it says a loose disk drive could lead to data corruption so that is my worry.
So the $700 PS5 Pro doesn't come with a disk drive?
No 😭
Poor old bastard 😂
@@Newyorkcitycricket Amazon and other shops but I prefer to buy disc drive somewhere else cause on Amazon it cost almost 300 but it only cost 120

Please tell me, I have a PS5 Slim with a disc drive, can I remove it and move it to a PS5 Pro?
@@arty_yo yes you can do that!
the casing fit the pro???
@@plundernight yes
Easy to install but hard to find. Sony screwed up on this one.
The fact it doesn’t come with a disk drive as standard is laughable for that price 😅
I just bought PS 5, after comparison and 8k removal from PS 5 PRO, i decided to sat on PS 5 till 6 wont be released
So it's definitely possible for Sony to release a PS5 Pro that already comes with a Disc Drive, they just won't do it.
Aquí los que tienen la ps4 slim.
Hmm...pay the rent or buy this thing...
🤔
Wtf was Sony smoking when they decided not to add a disc drive? The console costs almost $1,000, so it's criminal not to include it.
Would be nice if you could actually purchase the damn thing
If you dont have a ps5, i guess I understand getting the pro... but it honestly just doesn't seem worth it. I have a Ps5, xbox series x, a switch and a decently powerful PC.

First thing to do is it to take it back and get your money back
My pro tip. Don’t buy a disc dive. Don’t need it.
🤔
Если было внутри дисковод то купил себе PS5 Pro!
А так нет не за что не куплю за $700
Мой PS5 Original хватает мне!
The first thing to do when u get a PS5 pro is to play a damn game !!
소니는 한국에 디크 드라이브를 아직도 풀지 않고 있다 한국인 유저들은 해외에서 수입해서 구매를 하게 만들어놨다 이런식 판매 소비자에게 스트레스를 주고 있다
Not as easy as they make it out to look.
Isn’t this console able to use WiFi 7 network speeds? You could just stream or download things rather than use physical media.
The first thing to do , when you get the ps5 pro is to think why i got one in the first place.
@@kithu1231 🤔😅
Exactly. It’s a waste of money if you already have a PS5. The upgrade is laughably small.

Never use a disc based console vertical, it will fail much faster than horizontal.
How come?
