It's expensive, but compared to a gaming laptop it's all relative.
Plus I do enjoy the hassle free play environment, and it should enhance PSVR2 by leaps and bounds. 2Tb SSD is also great, the 800GB is always full. However not having a disc drive is what gives me doubts. Hopefully the drive will be forwards compatible for PS6...
It would be nice if you can use a PS5 standard to install from, but I guess then you need both on for DRM :/ Guess I'll be trading my PS5 in, make it hurt a little less. Or rather trade in the original model after trading the newer model with my kid. He can have the one with a lot less wear and tear.
I could also sell my Series X. All I used it for this summer is 4K blu-rays, which the ps5 plays as well. (Well not without a disc drive obviously ugh)
