Sony's New PS5 Has Detachable Disc Drive That Requires Internet Connection for Initial Setup

Sony's new PS5 has a detachable disc drive that needs internet connection for initial setup.

Theories suggest it's to authenticate and pair the drive with the console.

Once paired, no further internet connection is needed.

Requirement concerns some who envision issues if Sony shuts down verification servers.

Removable drive PS5 launches in November for same $499.99 price as original.
