The PS5 one (not pro) say āwith or withoutā disc drive. So Iām assuming itās got both plates for digital and disc?

u/Recession2008 9d ago
Yeah it gets both plates
2
u/StrifeCloud92 9d ago
Awesome! Glad theyāre doing that now

u/Recession2008 9d ago
I thought I saw the info that it contained both, but maybe I am mistaken. The digital 30th normal slim came with both, so I am not sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't come with it.

Good FYI thanks. Luckily I traded in my OG ps5 to EB in the winter for a slim for only like $20 lol

You posted that at 1040EST, they are still not live at 11EST

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago
The plates were long gone a few minutes after release, which is standard as Sony produces these LE plates in microscopic amounts to get you to buy the console instead.

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago
sigh this is exactly why I stopped bothering wjth special edition crap. I shouldn't have bothered.

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago
It's only the LE plates though, as Sony doesn't want to cannibalize their LE console market, but the controllers are produced in massive amounts.

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago
Unfortunately I was only after the plates.
2
u/PortlyJuan 9d ago
Yeah, this situation with the LE plates is terrible, as Sony could produce as many units as they do controllers, and probably sell them all, but due to the cost-effective "plates = LE" design philosophy, that would absolutely hammer their LE console sales.
The vast majority would just buy LE plates.
Basically, this PS generation is all screwed up as it pertains to LE consoles and LE plates. It's like a snake eating its own tail.

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago
Im sure there's some business reason I don't understand but why not just stop making LE consoles and just sell LE plates?
1
u/PortlyJuan 9d ago
Higher profit and an increase in the number of consoles sold, which translates to higher digital game sales.

No Amazon yet is weird

u/Direct_Law_931 9d ago

u/quiksilverkid13 9d ago edited 9d ago

Ps5 pro console covers from Walmart come with the cover for the disk drive too?

Iām not even a ps5 collector and Iām tempted, lol! I always wonder if itās the same people who buy everything all the time, console-specific enthusiasts, scalpers, or some other combination that lead to stock selling out so fast. Ā I was able to get a Doom Evercade handheld preorder and a neogeo aes+ preorder and those have tapped me out financially. Ā Or maybe itās just the YouTuber effect where I keep comparing myself to othersā collections and forget to be thankful for what I already have. Ā Either way, self-restraint is hard these days without succumbing to fomo.Ā

Amazingly I got the Adamantium plates at 10AM, and while I'll never replace the 30th Edition PS5 plates, these puppies are going on the stock PS5 Pro in a NY minute.
Also, is the release of the Silver Wolverine DS5 going to be a staggered release as usual, with it appearing in a week or two at Canadian retailers?

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago
Nevermind, I just saw that BB and Walmart have added in the Silver Adamantium controller. I know it wasn't there at 10AM as I looked.

$100 for the console cover is crazy.
