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

I have a PS5 and it seems like it will the last console I will ever buy. Getting second hand discs for cheap was one of the reasons how I rationalised the purchase. Sadly games don't release on discs as often now. With that and consoles getting more and more locked down they are becoming more rent extracting than ever.
I don't even understand the point of a beefier PS5 when games that should run fine on it run like crap. That is not something downloading more RAM is gonna fix. I'm thinking of games like Wo Long, Jedi Survivor etc.
For what it's worth the new GPU is a decent upgrade and it will support that PSSR AI upscaling tech they've been working on. I still don't think it's worth it, especially if you already have a PS5 or a relatively modern PC. This seems more aimed at people who have an outdated PC and haven't bought a current gen console yet.
The price is still nuts, though. I would be interested to see how well it sells because with everything being so damn expensive now I would imagine not many people are racing to spend $700 on a console (with only one game included lol).
It could be justified if it wasn't so locked down. Like you get high end hardware, just so you can be sony's paypig.
