It's going to be expensive unfortunately. Hopefully retailers do generous trade in deals like they did with the PS4 Pro.

$599 no disc drive.
Any more (especially with no disc drive) and it’ll alienate too many customers.

Hopefully $700+ to keep as many poor people away from it

$600 digital / $650 with disc drive.
I'm much more interested in the EU pricing though. If the SKU with disc drive is €700 here...

That's what the disc drive add-on is for.

Given the leaked specs
Should be $499 digital, $549 physical - accompanied by a $50 price drop for the current base PS5 models
In reality, it will be $599 digital, $649 physical - with no price drop for the current base PS5 models

There's nothing in Sony's +30 year product history of them using the 'Pro' moniker and deciding to cut off features from a device.
With a PS Portal still at £200 and the base console price at £479 and scalpers waiting in the wings for an item like this being under priced I would think a disc version only and a price exceeding £699 removes scalping makes them the most money and puts them under least pressure to reduce the OG PS5 price officially before Christmas.
//edit
With Switch 2 and next-xbox imminent next year according to rumours they'll want to be high on prices IMO for as long as possible so if next-xbox by OEMS is going to be high priced they will have already wiped out many of those potential consumers having recently paid high for a Pro, and they'd want the option to have headroom for a bigger price drop against next-xbox at launch and a bigger price drop of the OG PS5 against a Switch 2 release.

$599 Digital
$649 Disc
There’s no reason why they wouldn’t make a disc bundle like they do with the standard model which is also only $50 more now.
I would love a $549/599 or lower but I think it’s gonna start at $599 especially with how the standard has went up multiple times depending on the region.

£580 and what ever that is in USD. But I'm just not sure about the drive. I'm probably being naïve, but I think PlayStation are going to try and keep it competitive. It would be funny if it comes in even more closely priced to the new 2tb XSX which is £550 in UK. I reckon storage will stay at 1tb.

I've had a change of heart I'll say 499 no disc and 549 with disc I can see Sony marking down the base console.....unless PSSR is the second coming of DLSS3 and we learn the investment was steep then it'll easily have a 599 starting price. Sony said they want a "competitive" price we'll see if they can show an appreciable difference to justify 599 I feel like even at 549 Sony would be sweating bullets I think that’s their ceiling.

499/549 no disc and 599 with disc.
Or 599 no disc and there won't be a disc SKU.
We won't see a PS5 Pro that costs over 600€/$

It will probably be $599 for the digital model and $649 for the disc version. Then again, maybe they go digital only this time and keep the disc attachment as an accessory.
Pricing this generation has been really weird. We are 4 years into the PS5 life and it’s still selling at the launch price. Of course 4 years is nothing compared to the almost 8 years of the Switch which is also still at the launch price.

Why would they be sweating bullets for anything Pro related? It isn't a device for those that are desperate to get a current PlayStation but are price conscious.
Modern day Sony have high prices for everything that is lower volume optional items.
I've been in the market to buy a new mobile from them for at least 9months and despite preferring the Xperia 1 V 4K anamorphic screen compared to the new 4 month old improved Xperia 1 VI phone with an inferior display for my needs, the old 16month old phone design is still £900 at its cheapest as brand new with an official UK model, and even their previous flagship 1 IV at 28months old is still still £650 brand new UK and nearly £600 as refurbished. So deep discounting for brand new on luxury Sony devices doesn't seem likely as there's zero pressure on the product, much like the £1300 Xperia 1 VI is just there, for those that want it at that price IMO.
