honestly i just dropped like 700 bucks on this ps5 pro and im kinda losing my mind that it didnt even come with the disc drive or a stand like come on sony. i have all these physical games for my collection in my living room and now i cant even play them without spending another hundred. plus the controller is already dying on me during my weekend sessions. i really need to get this setup finished before my brother comes over next week or im gonna look like an idiot. what are the actual must-have accessories for the ps5 pro so i can stop being annoyed and just play my games?

I totally feel that frustration with the missing extras! Honestly, once you get the setup finalized, the performance on this machine is just amazing. I went through the exact same process last week and these are the absolute essentials to get everything running perfectly before your brother shows up.
- Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Drive for PS5 Slim and Pro
- Basically mandatory for your physical collection. It costs about 80 bucks and the installation is super quick, it literally just snaps into place under the cover.
- Sony PlayStation 5 Vertical Stand for PS5 Slim and Pro
- This makes the console look much more premium and stable on the shelf, worth the 30 dollars for the peace of mind.
- Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Charging Station
- Fantastic for those long weekend grinds. I just swap controllers whenever one gets low so I never have to plug in a cable. Tbh it is a bit of a hassle to buy them separately but it makes such a huge difference. You are gonna love the upgrade once its all put together!

> the controller is already dying on me In my experience, the stock mah capacity is kinda low for long sessions. I tested the drain on my setup and ended up getting a long cable for better latency...
