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 the PS5 Pro's cost stacks up against previous PlayStation consoles, comparable gaming PCs, and a more budget-friendly refurbished Sony alternative.
Global Reaction to PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Differences Spark Controversy
The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz on social media, particularly Twitter (X). The $700 USD price point in the US is already causing concern, but international consumers face even steeper costs.
Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is $799.99 and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 USD 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 remain scarce, it's expected that the PS5 Pro will be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
