This is what you wrote, and I was responding to:

But here is the million dollar question....
If the PS4pro was $499 and we all find out that it could have cost $399 if they used a normal BR drive.... what do you think everyone would be saying right now? |
Pretty clearly you're positing a $100 difference in cost as result of including higher spec Blu Ray drive.
If you want to establish a basis for that number, great, although consumer retail costs from New Egg are only $20.
Regardless, I could throw out a number that it costs $1000 diffence. Not particularly helpful, hm?
Discussion about personal relevance of UHD Blu Ray disks or broader consumer interest in that is nice and all,
but establishing the actual cost difference is the start of the conversation of pros/cons of inclusion or not of that feature.
If the con is $1 or no difference in price, that is very different scenario vs. if the difference is $100, no matter how niche the demand for feature is.

Oh i see. My apologies, that $100 differemfe wasn't to suggest that a BR drive cost $100.
if u look at all else I said, I also said I feel the PS4pro probably cost Sony $420 to make and they selling it at a loss. Now if the 4k BR drive cost $50 to what is currently an ~$18 BR drive we can add o. another $32 to that which will bring the price up to $450. By the time u throw in shipping and stuff and the retailers cut u end up at $499.....
That's what I was getting at.
