The PS5 Pro's hefty $700 price tag (and even higher costs internationally) has ignited a firestorm of debate among gamers worldwide. Let's examine how this price compares to previous PlayStation consoles, competing gaming PCs, and even a more budget-friendly refurbished Sony option.
Global Reaction to PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Differences Raise Eyebrows
The PS5 Pro's launch price has generated significant buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 US price point is already causing concern, but international consumers face even steeper costs.
In Japan, the PS5 Pro will cost 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while European gamers will pay $799.99, and UK consumers £699.99. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 based on current exchange rates, leading many to explore importing the console from the US to save money.
Pre-order details remain scarce, but the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
