Baffling design decision. They had an open lane to make things compatible.
two different kits?

Of course a consumer has to tell us this, rather then Sony.

Sony sooooo SUCKS this gen with communication and making ass decisions.
How the hell do they make all this modular shit and plates don't fit.
What a joke.

And of course they wouldn't tell you that hoping idiots like me would get limited slim 30th anniversary to swap plates :p

The lower plates are compatible just like the disk drive. However, despite their similar size, the top plates aren't.

Which is complete bullshit.
I had some Cobalt blue plates so I decided to try them out on the Pro and I can confirm the bottom plates match the slim however the top plates do not match because while they're physically the same size. The teeth that connect to the system are and slightly different places. So you can't connect the top part. I'm only telling you all this so y'all know and don't bother ordering plates for the slim to use on the Pro.

I can't do any other pictures or anything like that because I don't feel like having a company come after me. Plus I can't take the system home to actually play it or anything so don't ask me about games on it. This is merely to answer people's questions about the plates and the Pro and nothing more.

Sony made here a bad desing choice.

Who knows ? maybe they did it on purpose to force people to buy everything again.

I bet you could mod it with some plastic glue. Just cut off the hooks and reattach them where they should go

Sony has been making some questionable business choices lately.

Maybe we all need Xbox to go full third-party ASAP, and have a more competent competitor to challenge them.
