I think I will stay with the full fat.
1 - I have a bunch of DVD and Blu-ray. They are worthless but if I don’t have something to play them, they will be worthless and useless. Even though I’ve stopped buying them now for about 5 years
2 - I don’t ever hardly buy games. I get PSN and wait for them to give them away free. I haven’t bought a physical game in a few years.
3 - the games that I buy I buy on sale and I’m not going to be hamstrung by the media format.
Thats 3 reasons and I’ve not mentioned selling them yet, since I don’t really do that but I know lots of people do.
The collectors thing, I haven’t done that in a while, it could be because I’m over it or I’ve not seen anything I actually like but either way, I wouldn’t want to remove the option down the line.
£90 for the optical drive seems like a easy choice in this instance.
Still waiting to hear UAE release date. Generally we get things the same time as Europe but I'm guessing it'll cost a tad more than the dollar price here. Probably AED 2,199, which is about the same as UK price.

Controllers and other accessories will also become available for pre-order throughout the day. Stock is extremely limited and we expect demand to be high.
If you have trouble placing an order while the stock is available, or if we have sold out, we encourage you to keep checking back during the pre-order period as we may release additional stock.
We will make every effort to deliver all pre-orders as soon as possible once the PS5 is released. If you pre-order, we will email you with an estimated delivery date, however this may be subject to change.
We look forward to seeing you again soon at Amazon.co.uk.

There is no way it cuts £90 of the BoM.
That said, perhaps the extra power future proofs the console a bit more. Also Microsoft make a big deal of the series x being the most powerful console, so if that extra power is relevant over the PS5, then it must also be relevant for the series S at the lower end.
Unless you plan to get it and run it in 1080p and hoping the software is coded for it to adjust and shift the processing power to other aspect of the game.
Which would dependent on the game.
