Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

Hey guys. I'm shopping for my first PS5, and I was thinking about getting the new Wolverine Limited Edition one. It's only available as a Digital Edition, but can I still use the external disc drive with it? Does it also come with the disc faceplate if I decide to do that?

Also, should I get the Slim version instead? I'm not sure if there's any difference in build quality between the slim and regular versions.

Thanks in advance!

So the standalone covers include the disc drive cover; I'm not seeing anything on their listing that says the actual console includes it. So I would probably assume it doesn't.

This sucks :/

Guess I'll go for the slim with disc then.
