The PS5 Pro ditches the disc drive but will still cost $1,199
I look at the specs and I see they are speedy, as my wallet gently weeps

UPDATE: Aussie price has been confirmed at $1,199. Ouch.
As expected, Sony confirmed the PS5 Pro at its "technical presentation" overnight. It offers the major graphical spec boost you'd expect from a Pro-grade console, but sacrifices something along the way.
Just like the PS5 Slim, Sony has decided to make the optical disc drive an optional extra for the PS5 Pro. There's no option to order the Pro with the disc drive pre-attached, at least not yet.
That's all well and good in theory, though it does become a bit of a bitter pill to swallow when you look at the console's pricing. Aussie RRP hasn't been announced just yet, but at US$699.99, you're looking at over $1,000 AUD for a console without a disc drive is $1,199.
