The PS5 Pro was officially unveiled today, and the part that stopped everybody in their tracks was that $699 price tag. That's a price I'd be more than willing to pay - if only the console weren't selling its disc drive as an optional add-on.
After the video reveal of the PS5 Pro, Sony confirmed in a blog post that the console will launch as a digital-only machine. If you want a disc drive, you're going to have to buy it separately. You'll be able to pick up the same optional disc drive that launched as a PS5 Slim upgrade and costs $80. If you want to stand up your PS5 Pro vertically, you're also going to have to purchase a separate vertical stand.
