PS5 Pro Price Shocks Fans, Sparking PC Comparison

The hefty $700 price tag of the PS5 Pro has ignited a global debate, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. This article explores how this compares to previous PlayStation consoles, PC gaming alternatives, and a more budget-friendly refurbished Sony option.

Global Backlash Over PS5 Pro Pricing

International Price Variations Spark Gamer Concerns

The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz across social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The $700 US price point is already causing consternation, but international consumers face even steeper costs.

Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is set at $799.99 and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 based on current exchange rates.

This pricing disparity has prompted discussions about importing the PS5 Pro from the US to save money. While pre-order details are still pending, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
