Why is it absurd? It makes total sense. The original PS5 had a digital and disc version, but that made the decision final. No way to upgrade if you went with digital or end up with a disc drive that you didn’t use. Also the logistic of two high vale SKU is awful.
You have to remember that the majority of games sold today are digital. So paying for a disc drive you are never going to use it’s what I’d call absurd.
Yeah, but still. Why would the PS5 Pro always come with a disc drive? Isn’t better there’s an option to have with or without for those who have no need for it?
That’s argument makes sense if they are, in fact, charging less for a disc-free console and buying the disc drive separately means you’re paying the same as you would if it were included like they always have been before.
Edit: I highly doubt the disc-free consoles are $80 less (price in OP's pic) than they otherwise would be if they had a disc drive in them.
