Wait a second, you can add on the Bluray drive to the slim PS5? Meaning you’re not locked in to an all-digital console, but you can still upgrade later? That’s a great idea, why is no one talking about this?

Sony finally gets to join the ranks of add-on-disc-player consoles: the Sega Megadrive, the N64DD, and this… thing.

That’s a great idea, why is no one talking about this?

Because why would you buy a digital PS5 and a blu ray drive when you can just buy the disc PS5 and not have to deal with an external blu ray drive?

@HarkMahlberg @Omegamanthethird that sounds something Sony would never allow

No one’s talking about it because it costs $30 more than just buying the physical version outright

It really feels like a FOMO relief for people who want to go all digital. Just in case you want to get discs later.

In other words, Sony wants you to buy digital and don’t worry so much about it.

Oh… then it’s not that good of a deal. Cool tech, but not consumer friendly.
