PS5 Pro's Price Draws Gasps Globally, But Would a PC Be Better?

The PS5 Pro's $700 price point has ignited a global conversation, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. Let's dive into how this compares to previous PlayStation consoles, competitive gaming PCs, and a more budget-friendly refurbished Sony option.

PS5 Pro Pricing Sparks Global Debate

International Price Differences Raise Eyebrows

PS5 Pro's Price Draws Gasps Globally, But Would a PC Be Better?

The PS5 Pro's price announcement has generated considerable buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 US price tag is already causing debate, but the situation is even more complex internationally. Japanese consumers will face a price of ¥119,980 (approximately $847 USD), while European gamers will pay $799.99, and UK gamers £699.99. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective regions.

This pricing disparity has many considering importing the PS5 Pro from the US to save money. While official pre-order details remain scarce, expect the PS5 Pro to be available through PlayStation Direct, alongside major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
