The PS3 is still Sony's most expensive console adjusted for inflation, but unlike the $700 PS5 Pro it didn't charge $110 extra for a disc drive and stand

PS3 Future Owns.

The PS5 Pro was announced today with an eye-watering $699 USD price tag, but if you account for inflation, it's actually not the priciest PlayStation machine ever produced. That dubious honor still belongs to the PS3, but Sony's first HD machine didn't try to charge extra for features like a disc drive and vertical stand.

After confirming the $699 PS5 Pro price and November 7 release date in a video hosted by lead PS5 architect Mark Cerny, Sony confirmed in a follow-up blog post that a UHD Blu-ray disc drive and vertical stand will not be included but will be available as separate purchases.
