Unless they're suddenly shoving a UHD drive in there, I'm not interested.
It seems a weird oversight - gamers that care about 4K surely also care about films in 4K? The notion of it being an external add-on is laughable.
Then again, this whole thing is a solution looking for a problem.
If the thing is going to be an add-on, what's stopping people from buying the drive, and connecting it to their regular PS5?
Sony and their software.
The drive is an add on, base ps5 has a uhd already.. i think.
Both versiins have their own drives.
There is a PS5 version with no disc drive. You can even currently buy a disc drive for it, buy the disc version side plates, remove your discless sideplate, connect the disc drive, and then attatch the disc drive version of the side plates......and you have the disc version of ps5 that they would have sold you in stores.
