    Can I use this by itself to play Blu-ray movies?

    • +1

      No

    • Why would you even want to do that? There are really good Blu-ray drives around this price

      • -1

        Thanks. Can you recommend any?

        • Just google. For example:

          Panasonic Blu-ray Player DMP-BD84GN-K

          If you want dirt cheap solution, buy cheap Blu-ray portable drive on AliExpress and connect it to your laptop or PC.

          Just get a PS3 off marketplace for $50, they are still being updated with new Blu-ray keys each year.

            @Wip3out: PS3 won't play 4K Blu-ray. Where as this drive for the PS5 is a 4K drive. You'll never get that on the PS3.

            • +1

              @hollykryten: OP never said anything about 4K Blu-ray.

              • @Wip3out: Yes but 4K blu-ray is handy if you have a 4K TV. And who doesn't have a 4K TV now a days.

        • +1

          It depends what you need. Did you want to rip Blu-ray movies and play them on pc or have a Blu-ray player that you plug into a tv? If you want a Blu-ray player the local op shop/ thrift shop probably has some good options for you and if you want a drive there are some cheap external ones that go on sale all the time at officeworks for example. I got a really high quality one for $170 and it can rip 4k Blu-ray. It's awesome but that's probably way past what you need.

        the idea is people buy disc copies of games and sell when theyre done with it

        • +1

          You can't even do that.

    • +2

      I have a better chance of connecting it to my Dreamcast.

    • +1

      Not sure if serious?

  • +34

    Create the problem sell the solution type shit

    • +9

      100%
      I will never buy the discless version, EVER.
      People should stop supporting companies when they do things like this - but alas.

        Why the anger? I'm 45, have a gargantuan digital catalogue due to PS+ and buy maybe 4 PS exclusive games a year, usually well after release. If I'm desperate to play a game day 1, I'm not too angry about paying the extra 10 to 20 bucks for the digital version when the disc version is just an unlock token that requires…

        1 The game installed locally
        2 A massive patch to make it playable which requires an online connection.

        I have a huge box of PS1, 2 and 3 games I've NEVER played again. For me and probably a significant portion of people who don't care, the digital version is more than enough.

        Also, Australia has quite robust laws in this area, and Sony cannot just delete your license and remove it from your account. Even games that are removed from the PS Store are able to be redownloaded at your leisure.

          Been gaming since Atari days and have always been a diehard physical media fan. However these days my biggest peeve is hunting for discs for whatever game I happen to fancy in that particular moment. Hell I even waited years before Astro Bot went on a sale, but every time I want to play either someone else in the house has switched it out or the disc is tucked in the shelf and I’ve lost the motivation.

          There are tons of games in my physical library that I never touched for years but the moment they went on PS Plus I grabbed them and played them through. Some of them might even go on 75% sale on the PS store and I’ll just re-buy it for the convenience.

            @integriti:

            There are tons of games in my physical library that I never touched for years but the moment they went on PS Plus I grabbed them and played them through.

            Let me get this straight. You own the physical games, but decided to buy the them digitally, because you couldn't be bothered getting off the couch to look for them?

            Kinda like saying I have frozen pizzas in the freezer but get dominoes to delivery to me instead. The hell.

              Twice Bought, Once Played

              Feeding Sony coz they are poor. /s

              @pufffdragon: He did mention other family members kept putting a different disc into PS5 every time he wanted to play his game. Also, his point is valid, when the game(s) he bought got added to PS Plus (that happens to me a lot back in PS4 days), we do play the digital version from PS Plus (because PS Plus is not free and digital version does load faster since it doesn't need to do disc check from time to time).

              You are not always better off with disc version. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a good example. Had I known Sony would allow upgrade to PS5 using the PS Plus version eventually, I wouldn't have bought the disc version.

              80% of Sony's game sales are digital. When Spiderman 2 digital version JPN store voucher was $10.70, it was hard to resist.

          That’s all good to know. I’m 44. Been gaming since NES. But there’s no denying going discless was the most anti-consumer move in video game history. You had a lot of stuff to talk about but any benefits you see is the scraps you are getting from all the profit they are making. Just because I can afford to get rorted doesn’t mean I should be oblivious to it all.

          • +2

            @BusMan247: Very well said mate. This is the point I'm trying to make here. Extremely anti-consumer.

            The general populus are like the slowly boiling frog. It'll be too late before they realised they're cooked.

            any benefits you see is the scraps you are getting from all the profit they are making

            I couldn't have said it better… 😁👌

          It’s more if you value money. Once you played physical disc game, you can sell it.

          Eg new game is $109 digital, or $70 used. Buy used copy, finish it, then sell for $60.

          If you value money, physical wins without competition. If you value convenience, then you have to pay far more for it.

          • @onlinepred: Another very good point that adds to my statement.

        • the disc version is just an unlock token that requires the game installed locally

          So the 'digital' version plays the game from the cloud?

          A massive patch to make it playable

          As games get more complex, they all require patches, disc or no disc.
          Sony Playstation sold four generations of this product before coming up with an idea on how to squeeze us for more profits. And now we pander to them.

          The so called 'digital' era, is just them saying, we will pay for it, and own NOTHING.

          significant portion of people who don't care

          There's your problem right there.

          On another note, they don't need to remove your licence, just turn the servers off and voila, no more game. That's applicable to everything, pc, handheld and console sadly, and that's totally out of our control.

  • +12

    the fact that this is a deal is a joke. should be $50 tops

    • +3

      Even an external 4K bluray drive for the PC cost more than $100. Why would Sony sell it for $50???

      • +1

        because in order to use this you need to spend a solid $700. you can use the other ones standalone

  • +4

    NRMA benefits for 5% off exact amount gift card as well (delivered almost instant, free trial if you’re not a member already) = $108.30

  • +1

    So $94 from Sony was a good deal a week ago.

    • +1

      It was a good deal but that was targeted. This isn't.

  • Think i paid like $80 from eb games late last year.
    Price match or beat when i grabbed a game.

    Not sure if this price is really a deal…

  • +3

    Soon it'll become like a PC. Starts as a barebone console with little or no RAM, HDD, BD ROM and a smaller PSU etc for the same price as a full console. Then it'll be optioned to upgrade. Every single atomic particle is accounted for so they milk as much money as they can.

    • +1

      The future is now! Launch SSDs for Xbox Series and PS5 totally inadequate (and M$ locked the expansion drives to over-priced proprietary hardware), and no way to buy the 'already quite expensive in terms of increased bang per buck' PS5 Pro.

      I doubt you'll ever see optional RAM (outside of something like a PS6 Pro etc, but not for a bare bones console) or smaller PSU though, just too much to go wrong (imagine all the bogus warranty claims they have to sort through from people installing the RAM upsidedown or something), plus a nightmare for developers who are dealing with a console audience that demands it run consistently, but how there's an exponential increase in variants effectively.

      • I'm referring to buyers customising via thier website build, similarly to Dell etc. RAM will be BGA soldered on the board and be pre-built. You want extra FPS in your upscaled 4K game? Get the extra RAM and a daughter GPU at an extra cost. Let's see if this becomes reality, or at least partially.

  • Im on the big w app and can't find this item wtf!

    Edit: its sold out

    • Yeah it's sold out for home delivery. But there was still some stock at stores for C&C so pity it wasn't on the app. They should still have it showing in the app to allow you to do a C&C what's with that then. What a stupid app system then that Big W has.

      It's still found on this web link so it must automatically disappear on the app when it's sold out for home delivery. But why wouldn't it be there to allow C&C. You can literally do a C&C through the web browser store. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/disc-drive-for-ps5-digital-e…
