The PS5 Pro, despite being a $700 device intended for the most hardcore of PlayStation players, does not come with a disc drive - instead, it's an $80 add-on. According to Sony,💯 that's because of an altruistic desire to make sure players like you have more options.

. "With the PS5 Pro, we are offering all these new tech innovations, and we added the two te𝄹rabyte SSD, as well as the Wi-Fi 7," Aoki says. He adds, "For the disc drive, it is an option for players. Not all players have discs, even though most players may...but we have the option for being able to add that for those players. So I think it's more of the balance of the value proposition that we're giving."

There's a lot to unpack here. First, the acknowledgement that "most players may" already have a collection of physical PS5 games. It's likely that many PS5 ಞPro players will be upgrading from the standard console, and for anybody who already owns 🧜games on disc, getting the drive isn't a "choice" - it's a tax.

The notion of "value proposition" gets a lot closer to what seems like the obvious reason for all this: if PS5 Pro came with a disc drive, it'd probably cost even more than its already eye-watering $700 price tag. But given how 💛澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:those disc drives keep going in and🔴 out of stock even before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 Pro pre-orders go live, it seems like early adopters are already committed to paying the disc tax. If we're all paying upwards of $800 anyway, why do we need to go to the hassle of tracking🦩 down and installing an extra accessory?
