The PS5 Pro costs $699.99 and doesn’t include a disc drive or vertical stand, taking the total cost of Sony’s more powerful console to $809.97 if you want the full package.

However, the PlayStation 5 Pro just got even more expensive as Sony has confirmed that PS5 Slim console covers aren’t compatible with its new system.

    Why would you think other covers were going to work?🤷🏼‍♀️

      Also the title is so misleading because it acts like it’s missing a vital component when most people really wouldn’t care about alternate covers…

      Here’s a crazy fact. Take a digital only ps5 slim. Remove the cover. Insert a disc drive. Now place the ps5 slim disc version cover on.

      You now have upgraded hour digital only ps5 to the disc version of the system. And it was desibned to have interchangable covers.

      Sony is actually leaving money on the table by not selling custom colors covers, or even different designs with video game characters. They could just as easily sell them for $20 for a full system pack, or $10 for just the 1 plate, so you can mix and match colors.
