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.

Explain how please. Unless it's blocking vents, I don't see how electrical components (non mechanical) would care about its orientation.

The concern was that it uses a "liquid metal" thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly's liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn't have that issue.
