Here’s the only place to buy a PS5 Pro with a physical drive at the right price today

The PS5 Pro was released yesterday, November 7. Among the many criticisms surrounding this console, we find at the top the absence of an optical drive.

Yes, Sony is launching a completely digital console at 799 euros which, for once, does not interest scalpers. Grand prince, the manufacturer offers the possibility of adding one in the same way as on the PS5 Slim released last year.

And it is this information that did not fall by the ears of the said scalpers who, upon this announcement, rushed into the available stocks of optical readers, putting everything out of stock to resell them at a much higher price today.

Add that to the fact that Sony has not sufficiently increased its production rate for its players and we have a significant shortage on our hands.

Prices are soaring on leboncoin for this reader. From 200 to more than 400 euros, you can find everything for a device sold at 119.99 euros in official price.

Worse, even mass distribution is improvising scalplike Carrefour which, uninhibited, displays this reader at 219.99 euros.

Carrefour sells readers for #PS5 100€ more expensive!

Two solutions to pay your reader the right price

Also, for new buyers of PS5 Pro, you must either play into the hands of scalpers or turn to these two solutions:

The first is Micromania which offers it and we congratulate the brand for that. It offers all buyers of a PS5 Pro “to order a reader in store which will arrive at the beginning of December »and this, at the recommended retail price: 119.99 euros. One condition: have the store card and be in Premium or Ultimate status.

This is enough to ensure that you are equipped at the right price for those who wish to take the step towards the PS5 Pro.

Please note, the stock of Micromania readers is not inexhaustible. The operation began on November 7 and, according to a Micromania salesperson, there were only 3,000 readers for the brand’s 400 stores. First come, first served.

And if you don’t have a sufficiently inflated Micromania card, there is still the second solution. This consists of purchasing a second-hand PS5 Slim and removing its reader before reselling it. A slightly more perilous operation, nevertheless.

To go further
It’s the day the PS5 Pro is released: some e-retailers are lowering the price a little or offering accessories for the purchase of the Sony console
