No, apparently the board will be an optional extra on the pro in 2017. At Euro 1,500.
Of course this may turn out to be false. Or, if it's rubbish, will end up included for free as no one will buy them.
I'm still struggling to see how they'll manage it - will they keep manufacturing the old board to ship free for those that won't want the new one? Seems unlikely. Or provide nothing - no Ethernet or USB? Seems more unlikely. The only thing I can think is (if they stick to their word) it will be an optional extra only in that you have to pay more for a pro, which includes the 'pro' streamer board. Ie the pros go up in price.
