The PS5 Pro was revealed tonight and as rumoured whilst it has high-end features such as a 2TB SSD and Wi-Fi 7 support, it doesn’t come with a disc drive.
For the first time, Sony has decided to only launch the PS5 Pro without a disc drive, with the ability to add the existing disc drive under the faceplate exactly like you can with the PS5 Slim. It’s something that’s already dividing gamers online, but you’d have to think that some money has been saved in having one SKU.
The PS5 Pro will cost $1,199 AUD in Australia and release on November 7th with pre-orders begging on September 26th. This doesn’t include a disc drive, so we’ve done the price for both together as well (it can be purchased for $159 separately).
- PS5 Pro 2TB (Digital) – $1,199.95 AUD
- PS5 Pro 2TB with Disc Drive purchased separately- $1,360 AUD
The PS5 Disc Drive can currently be purchased for $159 AUD on Amazon,
As far as size of the console goes, it’s the same height as the original PS5 and the same thickness as the PS5 Slim. It’s presumed that it will use the same faceplates as the PS5 Slim which is why there’s a larger gap between the two faceplates.
