The disc drives for the PlayStation 5 Pro have been completely bought up by speculators.

Tomorrow is the official launch date for the PlayStation 5 Pro . That means reviews are out and the buying frenzy is about to begin. In fact, it has already started. PlayStation 5 Pro disc drives have been selling out at an alarming rate. Many of these were bought by speculators, as they are being listed on resale sites at exorbitant prices. For those unaware, the PlayStation 5 Pro retails for $700. However, that price doesn't include the stand and disc drive. This means users can only play digital games unless they're willing to spend extra. The PlayStation 5 Pro will allow users to purchase additional disc drives if they wish. This unsightly pricing strategy by Sony has been heavily criticized by the community, as the $700 price tag itself isn't cheap, not to mention the lack of included accessories.

​

Furthermore, the separate sale of PS5 Pro disc drives is creating opportunities for speculators, who have already begun to act. The usual retail price for these drives is around $80, but they are now being resold on eBay for $150-$200. Therefore, the average user could end up paying $850-$900 for a PlayStation Pro 5 capable of playing the physical game. This price could even increase as the buying frenzy escalates. Hopefully, Sony will soon implement some measures to protect ordinary users, such as limiting buyers to one drive, but even that won't always prevent this behavior. For genuine customers who only want to buy disc drives for their PS5 Pro, be patient and buy from authorized dealers, otherwise you risk being ripped off by speculators seeking illicit gains.
