WTS: PS4- Disk drive does NOT work! - $130
It's an original, originally from the Arkham Knight Bundle (does NOT include the game), so 500GB too, not a slim. The steps on Sony's site didn't fix the drive, and I wasn't confident enough to pull it open to try to fix it myself and figured it made the most sense for me to just replace it. That said, it still functioned fine otherwise, so should be no problems using it as a digital only console. Or heck, no clue on how hard it'd be to fix if you want to give it a shot. Actually plays DVDs fine, but no games or blurays.
Can throw in the HDMI and the cable charging controller if you want them, but no controller. (Actually kind of needed a second one to play Lego Dimensions with my nephew anyway.)
But yeah, just trying to recoup the losses from having to buy a whole new console because I was already too heavily invested in physical to make the switch-over. Just trying to actually end up with net $100 in pocket from this, estimates I'm seeing online for shipping put it at around $30, hence the total. But if you have better ideas, we could discuss that.
But yeah, let me know if anyone here is interested in saving me the pain of dealing with ebay!
