Let me save u time:
IT RECOGNISES THE DISC BUT NOTHING HAPPENS
THANK - YOU!
thanks mate
Good looks
Thanks bro
Yeah dude just uploaded this for no reason
That moment when you realize you should have gotten the disk version 😂😂
thank god Im not bothering on scalpers because digital consoles are NFT/MicroTransactions Im not getting into that
Disk version all the way. You can get old games disks really cheap , ps store is really expensive for buying old games.
Same, psn is too expensive
@@theindianpaladin truth 💯
Yea, with disc you get the benefits of digital too as well as disc like buying new games for half the price preowned. And being able to sell your games is a nice thing. I can never, and will never go all digital.
When Sony says digital only, they mean it.
🤣
Same shii with Xbox Series S
You mean being a cheap ass to rip off consumers?
😂
Could have saved you some time, the only drive that can read the PlayStation encryption is the built in drive
I hope eventually it can read movies at least
Well can you order the built in drive and covert the digital edition into a disc edition? I was not able to get a disc edition as the digital went through first.
@@Andronicus87 I’m sure there’s some way of doing it but idk if it’s even possible to replace the drive, like on i the Xbox one s digital, you _can_ put a disc drive in it but it needs to be paired with it by Microsoft, and they’re not gonna do it
@@Andronicus87 Another channel tried this. He had to attach the connector and and the chips missing on the digital edition from the regular edition, but it still didn't work.
Sony will never let it work from the firmware level because they sell the digital edition at a loss, and they expect to make up the difference in online sales that they have a higher margin of profit on.
@@crasheffort pretty sure both are sold at a loss
This is an example of why buying a digital edition is a bad, self-limiting decision. Besides that, buying digital-only consoles contribute to a future of fixed high-priced games with no used market which will kill off stores like Gamestop and all the smaller chains and Mom & Pop's.
I mean idk i think gamestop deserves to be killed off
@@pandaketamine I'm not a big fan, but I can't see how having a used games option as large as that ceasing to exist would be beneficial to anyone.
It doesn't necessary mean fixed pricing. What would happen it would become an issue of who has better digital sales between Microsoft, and Steam. As revenue would be generated by those digital sales they would have to have a reason for a person to stay in their eco system.
@@kevinbrown5370 It necessarily does mean that, because right now a console player can get any current AAA game on the used market for as low as $0. Won't be able to ever do that once it goes all digital. Remove Steam from the equation since this is a console matter and PC is already fully digital.
You all realize that all of you have tried to kill Gamestop. You all kept complaining on everything they did and now everyone wants to kill physical games all of a sudden. Enjoy not owning anything because if that's the case then gaming is dead to me.
I would love to use an external blue ray drive to play physical disks on the digital ps5. Digital ps5 looks better honestly, if you could somehow get the sleeker look and pay extra to own an external and pay your disks every once in a while, that would be great :)
i have the same exact thought. on ps4 i usually bought digital game but occasionally will buy some deluxe edition game for the same of collections. hope sony in future will allow it.
I doubt they would do that since that would mean they are making 100 dollars less compared to wherever you are buying the disk drive from, hence why they give their own proprietary option of the disk edition
@@Asher_FJ as long sony makes the disc drive, they’ll win either way . Buy a disk ps5 for $500 or buy a digital ps5 and also our external Sony disk drive for $120, can always make a profit
@@LordDahmirious Yeah that is also true but even with their own disk drive out Iam sure they would block other disk drives since sony does prefer their proprietary products but they also hate internal competition against their own products which is why I think they wont release a disk drive to begin with but who knows
It will never happen, at least 3rd party hardware is concerned. In Sony's viewpoint, external PS5 drive could be a first step to exploit the hardware. Anti-piracy measures will make sure this product will never see the light of day.
I don't think they'll enable it for just any external BD drive, but I'm sure they'll eventually release an extremely overpriced proprietary one. A lot of people (myself included) chose to get the disc version because they wanted to watch 4K movies & with Dolby Atmos too.
I personally chose the ps5 disc version since i still own a large dvd collection and still buy physical games instead of digital games
You got your wish.
@@That_1_OutcastSame here. My games, DVDs & Blu-rays (and VHS tapes!) are basically holding up my house. I've always bought physical copies of games & movies and always will.
@@SteelebourneYou won’t always will as physical media is a dying format
Aged like fine wine 🍷
When Sony gets ready to sell an external BluRay drive that can play PS4 and PS5 discs, it will cost $299. Very doubtful they even have this on the drawing board. They have to put out a new VR headset first.
Socom man what a throwback. Used to play Socom 2 online religiously in middle school. Hopefully one of these days Sony will release a ps5 external drive for us who purchased a digital. Also your setup is really nice.
The only reason I got the digital was because I managed to just snag one was taking too long to get a ps5 and the digital was the one available on Amazon. Would be cool in the future when the stock is normal and you could upgrade to the disc for the extra price but doubtful
Might happen afterall
@@The98xander doubted, im stuck with this junk
I guess, sooner or later, Sony will release a special bd drive that will cost half of the price of videogame
I can see them doing that for people who regret buying digital which would be cool you could have the option
@@deshawn1801 regret buying or better yet couldn't find/afford the aforementioned
There is a reason why there is a PS5 disc edition... I don't know why people would expect this to work either to be honest. Sony has said they would support USB HDD/SSD's external. And the internal will be support as well (apparently around the summer). So we'll see. But i don't ever expect this external Blu-ray drive to work!
ALso people like me were not able to get the disc edition due to low stock. I bought what I could get and I have not been able to get a disc edition.
@@Andronicus87 that’s your decision! I wouldn’t buy something i don’t want…
@@DBLCreations I did want it I just wanted the other version more... it took me 5 and a half months to score that one! SO WTF do you want from me?!
@@Andronicus87 I don't want anything from you man. And i know how hard it is to get one, believe me. All i'm saying is that i won't support only digital platforms. It's bad for us gamers in the end. You might not see it that way now but when the time comes that we won't have an option anymore to buy physical copy's of a game and the consoles will only be digital. They will hike up the price further and we will be trapped in a platform and can't do anything about it anymore.
I personally also never thought that it would work to have an external Blu-ray drive to work on the PS5 to be honest. Anyway, i liked the look of the digital one better as well for sure. But i prefer to have something i actually want vers. i'm going to buy a version of something (even if it's actually not the version that i want), just so i have it. But that's just my personal opinion man. Sorry if i offended you!
@@DBLCreations I've always been a digital kind of guy personally as I lost almost all my discs or had them broken somehow in the past (Xbox 360/PS2). So I decided to do something I won't personally regret and bought an Xbox Series S and will soon get a PS5 Digital
You should never move an optical disc or HDD when in operation.
That optical Disc might be screwed up when moved in operation
i already have a disc version and a digital version unopened so you saved me a lot of time with this video trying to figure out wether to sell it and get another disc version or use it as a secondary machine for the kids to use. Defiantly selling it
Lmao try this again! After the new Update
Does it work now?
ANSWER!!!!
@@gautejohnsen346 watch the video
@@lllsheluvtraylll8702 ok, it just is shown but don't work
I think ps would be willing to do this in the future it would be a cool idea. I mean when the SSD thing comes I have a feeling it will be only for ps version (that be so high in price). And they may try the same thing if they do this
They won’t because they already sell a ps5 with a disk drive
@J.S. Nathaniel MacIver no they would loose a lot of money if they enabled that as a feature
@ImNotSolid Not really, not as much money. The external disc drives can't play the PS5 or PS4 games, only DVDs and Blurays (which by including the option for a diskless option seems like a dying medium for some). And obviously they're getting most of their money from PS5 games or PS4 legacy games as well as the consoles themselves.
Now I wonder how it would work after the PS5 slim added a modular disc drive
And this is why systems with physical copies of their games will *ALWAYS* be better
The last generation where the discs really mattered was the wii / ps3 / 360 generation. The Xbox one / series console the disc is just a license and you still have to connect to the internet to install / play the games. Down the road this is going to be a huge issue when the servers go down if they don't rework/patch it ( unlikely ).
the xbox servers are down now and i can’t play anything expect for disk 360 / original xbox games.
@@SimplyPops Exactly, that's one of the reasons why I'm reluctant on buying new consoles but I primarily game on PC anyways.
Thanks for the test!
I would love for this feature to come in future because Sony stop allowing customers to purchase there digital codes elsewhere but them and they have sales but not like Epic or Steam
Appreciate it man, thanks! :)
Not sure if anyone has asked you or tried themselves but what if you transferred a disc application from PS4 to the PS5 then tried the external drive method?
Intersting
I got mine yesterday it's a beautiful system I'm just glad to have one cause tomarrow ain't promissed
I hope so because if they do, People that actually bought the digital edition simply as a last effort to get a PS5 can have the console they actually wanted.
If u put the external blu ray reader directly in the pc , will it play??
?
SOCOM 2. My first online multi-player game. Good stuff
Why this guy moving his disc drive around while there’s a disc spinning inside there? My guy stop doing that
1:32 what is that thing you put the disc in
Can you check if we can plan PS5 Disc can be played on PC or Lapops?
Most likely they have not installed any codec required to play from a disk. I'd imagine they could make it work with a update....but probably wish to get everyone use to not having a drive then phase them out entirely like the laptop industry has. That way they can lock you down on where you buy games and how much you pay for them....I'm sure that's the direction they truly want to go in.
Still trying I see. Good job! Hope it will work out someday. Also, always use the back usb or usb C.
Thanks for doing this!
What monitor are you using?
Just a little info the ps5 games are uhd blu ray discs
Can you make same with xbox series s?
I think it's stupid that sony doesn't let you turn disc games into digital versions. the reason I bought a digital ps5 is cause I broke one of my ps4 game discs by accident and I couldn't access the game anymore, have only been buying digital games since then but now I want to play some of my old ps4 games (which I have to repurchase since they don't have ps5 transfer support), I could only play those games on a ps4 or disc ps5. I feel like digital ps5's shoulda never been made and they only made those as an excuse to bump up the price of the disc ps5
Thanks for the information, just wondering about it
It is clear that if SONY wants it., you can totally hook an external drive to the ps5., and i think that is also clear that Playstation will react to people crying for stuff on the internet., so maybe if people cry enough they will do it...
why would they allow it? they want you to pay the extra $100 for the disc version of the ps5 they will never, ever allow you to hook an external disc drive to the digital edition.
@@prim34ev Yes., hackers might do the job though
Surprisedly , Disc version is Easier to found than Digital only
Hey guys I have brought ps5 disc version . So like can I connect a region free disc player so that I can player all movies related to different region locked area
Nice job I watched that video you first made go to know it works now
It is normal because only official PS5 BD drive has firmware able to read and decrypt data on PS5 and PS4 discs. Many PC BD drives can read PS3 and PS4 (and probably PS5) discs data structure but data on them is encrypted and without encryption keys you can't make use of it.
I’m guessing that the ps5 digital motherboard is probably alike the disk version. So, you should be able to join a compatible cable on the board to a supported blu-ray disk reader
Though the system software support external optical drives, games will still simply not work, except doing some illegal modification.
Most game consoles' optical drive is customized in order to check if the disc is pirated or not using some proprietary watermarks that cannot be easily replicated or recognized by normal optical drives
Keep tryin man hope someday will work
Yoooo! KIDS is a classic,
be bringin me back to that city-kid life...

I got the Ps5 disc version, but I feel ya, dude.
SONY defo needs to update the firmware to enable the external disc drives.
The more robust they make their console's functionality,
the more appealing they will become to consumers.

Are the boards the same? The drives are probably paired like they were in past consoles.
I bought a ps5 digital edition and I kinda regret it because games on psn are so expensive. For example i can buy ratchet and clank physical for 30 dollars but on psn store its 70 dollars. I think I will sell my digital edition and I will buy ps5 disk edition
Yea and digital games cost more storage
I dont think they will have support for it in a near future, cause they wanna sell disc drive editions simply because they have a bigger bennefit
What Monitor are you using?
They need to release their own disc drive attachment that plays game and bluray they would make an extra $100
The point is, the firmware / software from disc version vs digital version are different.
Was hoping this possible as all the ps5 disc drives are sold out... rip
They're maybe gonna add this ability after one year or so so that people buy the physical (with the disk) edition.
They won’t, Sony means it about ps5 being digital only
I wonder if it would work if you plugged it into a powered usb hub or used a double usb cable. The too many devices warning probably means it isnt getting enough power.
Why wud sony make a blurry drive you have a choice to buy a digital or normal one
Great quality content, I love your content ❤️, keep up the good work. I believe in you
You should try if this works on the new PS5 Slim and Pro
There will never be a Sony supported version of an external drive to play discs. Especially not from some random manufactures. Take a look at the protections that have been bypassed in all the previous disc based consoles over the last 30+ years.
I wouldnt be surprised if sony repeased a blu-ray accessory for the digital edition, i dont worry about it tho because i have the physical edition. Altho if they release a blu-ray adapter accessory for ps3 and older i will definitely pick it up
Viewers buying digital console just to wait for an update to use external disc 💀
Bro 🤡
Is because You can appear with a disk full of images. They won't never let You use an extenal unit to play ganes. Without jail break. Also won't let digital canivalice sales of the standard one
Do you think sony will make this possible in the future?
Because I'm planning on buying a ps5 from a scalper, and the digital edition is cheaper and a lot easier to find a safe seller. So it would really be great to get the digital edition and then buy a disc drive in the future!
Btw: should I be patient and try to find a good deal on the disc ps5 instead? Even though it's harder.
No way this will happen it would open up a way to play pirated games for sure
@@andysledge how? What's the difference from internal to external?
I excitedly purchased the digital version of the GoW bundle because I seen it on amazon. After my purchase went through, i also seen the disc version available & i then realized all my games are on disc LMAOOOO heres to hoping playstation will create a disc drive
Same here bro I had to buy Gta 5 again 😭
So many ps4 cds got wasted because of this 😭 If you find any solution in future do comment me back
The funny thing why they sell the digital version for 300 and the disk for 600 it’s so stupid just because of a disk in a perfect world they should be the same price
Ps5 games use uhd disk. Is that a uhd blue ray drive?
That’s pretty interesting
I think it’s time to repeal the bottle deposit. Do what Washington does and just recycle our bottles.
What if you bought you used a custom ps5 cover with a disk slot
How much is the ps5 non digital console
$499.99
@@edam07 ok and what about the other one with the disc drive I what that one
@@falariusbrown6491
ps5 physical 499.99
Ps5 digital 399.99
Physical will save you more money down the line, plus you could give the discs to your friends.
If u have money.. its totally worth it to play the disc version as u can still play digital on it..
you might migh have issues with an el cheapo bd player as it will need to support the latest blue ray standard for the bdrom to read correctly
They should do a sold seperately, PS3 Detachable Disc Drive for the PS5 slim which allows, well, you to play PS3 discs and in extension Playstation 1 and 2 discs without errors but physical PS4 to 5 discs are unreadable by the Disc Drive unless its the default PS5 slim disc drive
Want that? Rip a disc drive off a PS3 FAT and modify it for the PS5 slim by doing complex soldering etc
I think it’s based on the drive maybe because of the different patterns on the drive and the actual ps5 drive
There not gonna make a blue-ray disc dive work for a console that was made mainly for digital reasons if u wanted a disc u should have gotten a disc one but I do understand it's hard to come by
Sony should make a one day pass license with ps4 and ps5 disc for ps5 digital,
that input a ps4/ps5 disc in ps4 to allow ps5 download those game digital but limit license per day after check the disc in ps4 online.
Thx, very interesting
Maybe the drive is pulling more power than the system allows the USB to pull?
I feel they should add this as a year ago when I got my ps5 I got the digital version but now I kind of regret it and I think PlayStation should make some type of their own external disc drive for the digital ps5
Same I have had mines since day one and it’s been one of the biggest regrets ever in my life
Does a blu ray drive work with a ps4 not digital
this is actually good news i was wondering ab this so thank you very much
Would be cool if they would add support
Did you try any music CDs?
Will these work for a disc edition of PS5? Think my disc drive is broken
Why do u keep touching and moving the blue ray player while it's loading
Question. Can I use this blue-ray drive on PS4 pro??
Do you know if the digital version of the PS5 is playable offline if there is no internet ?
yes, you can
It's just... easier to tramper with something outside the console to try to jailbreak it. Even if sony released an official external drive, I think they would try a lot of security measures and people would easily be able to open up and check how to bypass that to run their codes into the Ps5. That's why I doubt this will work. If you want a disc edition, buy a disc edition. After all, after the PS3 PSN store fiasco, I'm not trusting Sony with any digital purchase anymore. The I prefer the risk of having the disk broken after fifteen years with it than the risk of losing my games because Sony decided to shut down the servers to cut costs making me lose my purchases. Even my old PSP Games I can't download anymore XD
Truth be told. The PSP is like 17 years old, did you even think is was gonna last any longer online? Also i agree that a PlayStation jailbreak is the best option for us all
Can it work on the disc edition ? Because my disc drive isn’t working?
This is one of the reasons why I wanted to own the physical version of the PS5 even though it cost almost 500 dollars though 😥
I Went with the Digital purely for the Look. I really disliked the side Bulge. Like why couldn't they make it similar to past PlayStation's . Just had to add a Side Bulge. Plus haven't used disc's in a long time.
can i move a game to external storage , then i play with different ps5?
For sure they could activate it for DVD, Blu ray and 4k Blu ray but not for games becuz that's the whole point of the digital edition you bought it to play games digitally or from a external drive...now movies that's upto Sony they could do it but who knows if they will highly unlikely anyone will crack a digital ps5 anytime soon, so either wait for a surprise update that enables movie playback only on digital ps5 or just get a 4k Blu ray player.
I'd buy the blu-ray drive.
They owe it to their customers to do this since we all have to scramble for whatever we can get. It's their fault there is low supply and we are still paying a ton for these systems. The least they could do is give us something to play our bluray disks & DVDs.
It’s not really their fault for it selling out. That would be resellers and people who got like 50 different ones
You have to buy the Playstation 5 slim disc drive
It literally took me a year before I was able to get my hands on one. I’ve signed up for Sony direct like 5 times over the past couple months an never got an invite to try an buy one but turns out that they make the decisions off your PSN usage an the ps4 was always used on my kids log in an last time I used mine was on my ps3 in like 2015 so that was a no go an that was sorta disheartening but then the small town I live in is just large enough to have our own game stop an I went up there on thanksgiving bout 20 mins before they opened and was 19 in line and they had 25 disc versions but ya had to buy 3 games along with it an a year subscription of the PlayStation plus but they was all decent games that I would of bought anyhow so don’t give up you can get one it just takes some work to land one. Things awesome in my opinion will worth it but the one thing I hope they do in the updates is backward compatibility for other then ps4 games as I have the original ps3 that I bought in 07 so I have lots of ps1/ps2 as well as ps3 games to play an would rather not have to use my ps3 an just use the ps5 for them all it’s sorta redundant for them not to as I think it would open the door for even more to want one especially if they can have a better console an still keep all there game collection even if they don’t play them often just to have the feature if ya feeling nostalgic from time to time.

What if you plug it in the rear instead?
Hi, What happens if you plug it into the rear ports?
I was wondering this back before I got my ps5. Bc I could've seen myself buying a digital if I couldn't get the disc version. Does it work on a digital xbox?
@NovaSixx no it's does not work on Xbox kinda stupid. We need disc drive so we can play out old games cus if no Internet we can't play games cus no disc drive.
