You know we're living in a weird historical time 'cause we need videos on how to insert our discs in the drive...

[michaelpaterson]

I did this first time, just because usually with consoles, the disc drive was always nearest to top side of the console when in the horizontal position. Along with the fact that usually the design was that whichever side of the disc drive had less space was typically the direction that the disc label would face

[Stunbunny]

Every time I put a disc in my PS5, I silently repeat the mantra, “don’t put it in upside down, DON’T PUT IT IN UPSIDE DOWN!!” So far, so good.

[YormanGand]

As someone unaware of this I had accidentally put a game in facing the wrong way. I had assumed the disc reader would be in the center of the console rather than towards the outside of it. Since then I have thankfully learned my lesson and the PS5 actually has a text window pop up explaining the correct orientation for the disc. Thankfully it didn't take until I found this video to figure it out.

[HARBRINGERZERO]

Wow, this issue surprised me. Mine is horizontal anyway but still I’d assume the bottom of the disc should be facing the buttons on the console. I hope more people don’t damage their PS5’s like this.

I saw this coming when they advertise the console to stand up instead of lying down flat. This has happened even back to PS3 owners because there is no longer a disc tray that pops out. For most of us that lay the console flat, you will never have a problem with which side up the disc should be in

[nyfb]

I always imagine the console in a horizontal position before inserting the disc and it immediately becomes obvious how to insert it correctly.

[tshepp]

I can't believe Sony didn't put a little indicator next to the drive

[AJZulu]

I remember reading about this one. Feels bad man. To be fair to the new PS5 owners, the previous PlayStations had it that way for YEARS. Suddenly it's been swapped over in their eyes and they buy the thing expecting the disc to go in the way they have always put it in for over 10 years. The previous Playstations had the vertical base at the other end and the reader was at the top half of the console. The new design had a few new owners taken for a loop like this poor soul who figured out too late that their drive was working fine all along, but still had to pay.

I got my ps5 not long ago and this happened to me as well. My brother was convinced he was putting the disc correctly, but ofc it turned out it was put upside down. I was worried maybe the disc had an issue but fortunately not, it just took less than 2 minutes to realize what was wrong, and I'm thankful there was actually nothing wrong lol

[ryanod]

The reason this happens is because we've built up a habit doing it this way with the PS4. (Disc label points outward/closer to the edge whereas the PS5 disc label faces inward to the center of the console).

[sleidardicumaris]

so, instead of trying the disc multiple times and flipping it, he sent it to sony bc he thought it was a sad world we live in

[Steelebourne]

I did the same thing on day one, even though I always have my systems standing up. Really freaked me out!

[jackventure]

I never even considered this could be a problem. I set my console up horizontally instead of standing it vertically on its side so it was always obvious what side was the top and bottom of the console and disc drive.

[RazorSharpRust]

I think this is to do with the majority of people being right handed and the way to insert the disc incorrectly is much more comfortable. Like if you try to Insert the disc correctly with your right hand it feels like you are putting your wrist in an awkward position and most right handers don’t use their left for delicate tasks like this.

[djfussell]

Had my PS5 since day 1 and I can honestly say I haven't done this once. I think laying it flat helps prevent making this mistake.

[Effortastic]

I inserted my black ops III disc wrong on my first day. Luckily, I waited for it to say Disc is unreadable. Then, I reversed it, and the disc worked. Thank goodness I was patient.

[zaanredelinghuys]

This is actually quite easy if you placed the ps5 horizontal in the first place. Initially when I saw pictures of the ps5 and it stood vertical, you would assume the disc label goes to the outside. But then you place it horizontal and the disc slot is at the bottom, and then I thought, no way I would have to insert this disc upside down.

[OnSilverWings]

Did it once a day or so ago but realised what I did. I figured that's what this was about, the person who got charged for this error, seems to me that the PS5 is badly designed when people put the disc in the wrong way.

[kill]

I got a ps5 yesterday and caught myself doing this same exact thing. It didn't feel like the disk was going in smoothly so I quickly pulled it back out and inserted it the correct way.
