The console will be available only without a disc drive which has to be bought separately, same goes for the stand

are we returning to the good all days of PC being cheaper on top of being better in every way, seems unlikely but the price gap is closing, its kinda sad the super low price (for its specs) of the ps5 was basically the only good thing about it, to the point that i considered getting one until i remembered that i was gonna play like 2 games on it ever.
The regular PS5 isn't going anywhere, and you still won't be able to build an equivalent PC for near the same price as that, but the Pro is so much more expensive for relatively little gain that the price gap for that is pretty small, and on PC you'd get a better CPU too
I was downvoted in another thread when somebody claimed a barebones 550 USD build with a Ryzen 5600 and an RX 6600 would outperform the PS5 Pro. I find that hard to believe and claimed that in order to achieve that, the parts would be more expensive than the Pro model. We'll see.
Yeah, I really don't think an RX 6600 build would outperform the PS5 Pro at all, that doesn't line up with what I've heard at all
From what I've heard, an RX 7700 XT build might be pretty close though, and a basic build with one of those and a 5600 would be not that much more than a PS5 Pro, which does definitely go to show how crap the PS5 Pro price is (especially since that CPU is probably better than the one in the PS5 Pro)
