WrkHrdPlayHrdr 10/25/23 1:54:23 PM #13:	I agree that if you are buying the digital version something like this should probably be expected. Not necessarily the disc drive issue, since it doesn't have a disc drive, but something like it. For a physical disc version though this seems dumb, but also very very very minor. I think most people who have a PS5 probably have internet or can hotspot on their phone for 3 seconds to get the disc drive good to go. Still, there's probably a person or two that doesn't. Again, this is minor but they should just get it paired before they ship it out. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://i.imgur.com/cSxy3Od.png <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:976854452] in PS5 slim o...
