A Blu-Ray reader/writer costs about $100 on newegg. So I would imagine that Sony can get them for $50. There have been multiple rumors that Sony has been struggling to keep PS5 below $499. Assuming that means their disc version struggling to meet that price point, then their discless version would be $100 to $75 cheaper. Removing a Blu-Ray drive would only reduce cost to build by $50 at most, but then Sony would just subsidize the other $50 with extra profits from digital sales. So I would guess that the disk version of PS5 is $550 to $525, and the diskless version is $475 to $425.
Series X will be $50 less than whatever the Disk PS5 is, and $50-$75 more than whatever the Diskless PS5 costs.
