The only way to make this thing look like good value is to put it next to the $599 2TB Series X. Then you're paying only $100 for the extra power. Which it's probably worth. But look at it from any other angle and unless you've got a lot of expendable income, hell no.

$599 1TB PS5 Pro is the way they should have gone.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more pointless this feels. If the leap in power was at least more significant maybe just maybe we could justify it for playing some upcoming games with 60 FPS, but 700 USD without a disc drive feels so pointless. Are people with physical collections to be that screwed for no reason? 

I'm going to guess the thought process at SNY was with Series X 2TB being $599, PS5 Pro at $699 will make it look and feel Premium whereas $799 with an optical drive would've been way too much of a gap and would've felt way too over priced.

SNY has been giving off Apple vibes this gen.
