I'd almost rather they didn't do something so simple as lacking a disc drive to distinguish between the two. If they made a "premium" model that sort of went all PS3 and put hardware based Bc and some extra media compatibility, I'd buy that for even 150 over a base 399 sku. I think the main goal they should be aiming for is to ensure that at least one sku at launch is comparable to their last launch.

What I think is interesting is that the premium sku concept isn't exactly exclusive to consoles, and it seems to repeatedly work. People bought enough 1K$ "premium" iPhones that the standard sku was superceded and thus the standard acceptable price raised across the board. Macbook vs the more feature packed Macbook pro, same thing. Microsoft surface vs surface pro, again few people even remember the lower price sku. I really wonder if Sony could do the same for PS5?
