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.

At 4 years old, it’s in much better shape than the PS4 was in when the PS4 Pro stepped in. Notably, 2024 games like Astro Bot and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered prove how good it still is at delivering graphical spectacles.
