That's still the seller putting incorrect info and not Amazon though. Sony has submitted that info to Amazon so it's safe to assume it's from Sony.

What's the consensus on plates being interchangeable between PS5 Slim and Pro?

The BD Drive is confirmed to work since the announcement day....
Same for the vertical stand
I still don't get the hurry of buying useless plates a month before release
Just wait for the ACTUAL PS5 Pro plates

Likely is true but to me this is not Sony official charts
And if Sony submitted this to Amazon why not just post that image on their site somewhere?
Sorry if I don't take Amazon as being official

The drive and plate are separate, in the worst case you'd have to buy a new plate

Sony charges, what?, $60 for the plates? So then you're looking at $150 after tax to add a drive to your Pro?
Again, if the current drive works on the Pro, then the plates would fit.
HDD? You mean a disc drive? The disc drive is compatible. The plates are not. The bottom disc drive part may be the same.

It probably does work on the pro though, I was just saying worst case scenario
(And the Pro 'may' come with an additional plate if not, but we don't know yet)

Again, you went all caps it was Sony official charts and I said it may very well be, I am just not banking on Amazon being official is all
Sorry it seems to bother you so much

They made up a chart to sell consoles. Everyone does that.
I guess there is a possibility that whoever is in charge at Sony for listing on Amazon made incorrect assumptions but that info is still from Sony and not Amazon. Why they didn't post that info elsewhere I'm not sure. We would have to wait and see if it's incorrect but to me it's an official source for now.

Amazon has no input on official listings. When you put something for sale on ebay do they create never before seen pictures and charts for you to sell your items?

I have already agreed its likely correct but we can agree to disagree that to me its not an official Sony chart until it shows up on a Sony website
I will also agree with your last statement its what we have for now

Seems like some people have never seen an Amazon product page in their lives...
LOL
There are even the Sony Trademarks at the bottom of the chart

60 Dollar my ass for some plastic. Just buy the shit on Aliexpress for like 20 Dollar which still is expensive.

The problem is, techradar threw that randomly on their PS5 Pro preorder live coverage with no source of that information

They won't do that even for the smallest customer inquiry.
Something like this should have been dealt with immediately.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if the PS5 PRO had it's own covers, as Sony like to squeeze as much money as possible out of there customers.

Off topic somewhat, the silver looks pretty nice.

Nice because it's all matte. I really hope the Pro doesn't come with glossy tops. Looks like it doesn't but I haven't seen it confirmed. I really like that sterling silver. If they stay away from black for PS6 this would be a good choice

Nothing that I have seen, but I'd just wait for official Pro covers to get released and just buy those.

Does it really matter at this point? Are there that many slim plates available? I only saw 3 when I searched. Is the Pro upgrade path really going from slim to Pro? I assumed it would mostly be launch PS5 owners and people who were waiting to get a PS5. I know it's good to know but it's not the biggest deal. I do love that silver color slim cover though...

Sony isn't the only source for plates. For one third of the price you get plates from China. For example this one for 20 Dollar. Of course not licensed.

Yeah but how many people are upgrading from a slim to a pro? It's basically just to preorder to have them available for launch. I get that since I have already ordered some accessories myself but console cover is last on a list. Mine at least.Sony isn't the only source for plates. For one third of the price you get plates from China. For example this one for 20 Dollar. Of course not licensed.
Disc drive, vertical stand and heatsink are or can be a necessity for use purposes. But yeah it's dumb that this is no clarification inside of one month from launch

Right, no info sucks, but plates are not a mandatory accessoire people need on release day. If slim plates fit, just order when Sony gives the info. If slim plates don't fit, you have to wait anyways.

Read the other threads it’s confirmed that no existing plates from slim work. They bottoms do but the top has different notch placements requiring different styles to be made.
Someone got theirs and tried it already.
