It's a big win overall, but some of the scumbags still got something out of it:
Even though scalpers are taking a loss on the Pro, those who banked on people flocking to buy the PS5 disc drive are turning a profit. The Pro is digital only which means you'll need to buy a disc drive if you want to use it to play physical media. It took a while, but the disc drive appears to be sold out everywhere which means people are buying them for inflated prices through resale sites.
Not the worst thing but still annoying, like whatever the opposite of a silver lining is.
