Where to buy the PS5 disc drive: all the latest stock

Whether you've just picked up a digital console or you've secured a pre-order for the Pro, you might be wondering where to buy the PS5 disc drive. The add-on has been in and out of stock since release, proving tricky to find at times and abundant on the shelves at others. Right now, things are looking a little sparse.
After all, PS5 Pro pre-orders have now hit the web and many are also racing to secure their disc drives at the same time. That means we're seeing limited stock in the US, though the UK is holding out particularly well. Right now you'll be heading to GameStop to buy a PS5 disc drive in the US, or Currys in the UK.
The official PS5 disc drive costs $79.99 / £99.99 and is required purchasing for anyone who wants to play physical games on a Pro device or a digital edition PS5 Slim. The combined price of a PS5 Slim Digital Edition and a PS5 disc drive does exceed the cost of a full-fat PS5 Slim (with the disc drive permanently attached), so if you're on the cusp of picking up a console it's well worth spending the extra on the main release. Of course, if you're upgrading your system you've come to the exact right place.
I've been scouring the web for the retailers offering devices this morning, and you'll find all my treasure just below. Of course, if you're securing your PlayStation 30th Anniversary pre-order you'll also need this gadget.
Where to buy PS5 disc drive in the US
✅ GameStop | In stock now GameStop also has the PS5 Disc Drive on the shelves (and in new condition), with points up for grabs if you're a member. View Deal
❌ Best Buy | Check stock PS5 disc drive stock just ran out at Best Buy, having held strong all morning. We'd recommend checking back regularly, though, especially once the PS5 Pro hype has died down a little. View Deal
❌ Amazon | Check stock The PS5 disc drive isn't in stock at Amazon right now, so if the above retailers run out we'd recommend refreshing in here every so often. It's been spotted fairly recently, so the wait might not be too long. View Deal
❌ Walmart | Check stock Walmart also doesn't have the drive on the shelves right now, running out of stock a while back without anything new coming in. View Deal
Where to buy PS5 Disc Drive in the UK
✅ Currys | In stock now You'll be heading to Currys if you're after a disc drive in the UK. The retailer has the add-on listed for the standard £99.99 RRP with free in-store collection if you're in a hurry. View Deal

✅ AO | In stock now AO does have the PS5 disc drive in stock, at a single penny over the £99.99 RRP. That's not to be argued with if stock does run short at other retailers, though. View Deal
❌ Amazon | Check stock Like in the US, Amazon UK doesn't have any disc drives on the shelves right now. There are plenty of other retailers to be getting on with in the UK, but I'd check back regularly if you're a die-hard Primer. View Deal
❌ Very | Check stock Very ran out of stock of the PS5 disc drive yesterday following the PS5 Pro excitement. With other retailers still offering the accessory, it shouldn't be too long before these shelves are replenished. View Deal
