Sony's new PS5 Pro lacks a vertical stand and a disc drive, unlike the PS5 Slim Standard model that retails for $499. If you were to add a vertical stand and a disc drive to the PS5 Pro to fairly compare it to the PS5 Slim Standard, its price jumps up to $810 — over $300 more than the PS5 Slim Standard.

With the PS5 Pro closer than ever, it's no wonder those of us looking to part from our beloved launch models have been keeping a watchful eye over the PS5 Slim. Our waiting has paid off, as the disc edition PS5 Slim is available now for £424.
