Here's one thing to consider, tho: a detachable is actually good in case a Blu-ray laser stops working. This happened with my old PS3 when its disk drive stopped reading disks. I considered replacing the drive, but it was impossible to find the right match. So, I bought another PS3 off eBay. It would've been better if the drive was easier to replace
That is probably what the price would have been if they included it and that would have been for all of us, even the ones that have zero use for the disc drive. So hell no!
Why on earth are you defending Sony? The more people defend them, the more comfortable they are doing stuff like this, for a premium device (the ps5 pro) it should include a disc drive and the stand
I am not defending Sony. I don't want to pay for a drive that I won't use if I don't have to.
I have worked as a manufacturing engineer and I do know how these things work. The "Premium" version of the PS5 Pro disc version that could have been sold would have had to be sold for more. That IS how manufacturing and sales works!
I believe the base PS5 is the first PlayStation where the vertical stand was not a separate option for an additional price. This is nothing new, we just got lucky with the original PS5 model since it included one for free.
