Since the official launch of Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro, its supply has remained relatively stable. In contrast, the standalone disc drive has experienced a shortage. As the PS5 Pro does not come with a disc drive by default, players need to purchase it separately. This has allowed scalpers to seize the opportunity and hoard a large amount of stock, causing the price of the disc drive in the overseas second-hand market to soar far above its original price.
Recently, a foreign netizen shared their experience of purchasing a second-hand PS5 Pro + disc drive for $600 (approximately 4379 yuan) in a community, sparking heated discussions among netizens. Many expressed their envy, stating that the original price of a first-hand PS5 Pro without a disc drive is $700, and he managed to buy a console with a disc drive for just $600, which is definitely a great value even if it’s second-hand. The netizen revealed that he found this console on Facebook Marketplace, where the seller claimed to be selling it at a low price due to unemployment and lack of income. He originally planned to buy the standard PS5, believing that the PS5 Pro did not offer good value for money, but after seeing this price, he decided to buy it without hesitation. He admitted that he was also worried about being scammed, but the console he received was in good condition and functioned perfectly.
