Sonyfinally announced thePlayStation 5 Pro, and everyone on the internet collectively decided that they think it sucks.
Chief among the concerns is the price point, with the system set to retail at £700 at launch.
A lot of folks were pretty upset with this price, as many believe that it’s not worth the price point given the lacklustre improvements to the PS5 model that Sony has announced.

Now everyone has discovered a new, somewhat more disconcerting reason to be mad at the price: the PlayStation 5 Pro doesn’t even come with a disc drive.
Reactions to the news were unanimously negative, unsurprisingly.

“Imagine getting rid of the disc drive and having the audacity to charge $700…” replieduser BlackMajikMan90, “Sony is simply insane.”
“All the expense of modern technology with none of the reassurance that you’ll at least still be able to play your old disk-based games…”stated TheHauskarl, “Literally the worst of all worlds. No thank you.”
Although the news is obviously upsetting for those who are still fans of physical media, it shouldn’t be particularly surprising.

We’ll have to wait and see how the PS5 Pro fares sales-wise before denouncing the decision entirely however, as if the console sells well it may imply that most folks are happy moving toward a completely digital future.
