PS5 Pro Sparks Outrage: PC Superiority Hinted

The PS5 Pro's $700 price point has ignited a global debate, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. Let's examine how this compares to previous PlayStation consoles, PC gaming alternatives, and a budget-friendly refurbished Sony option.

PS5 Pro Pricing Sparks Controversy Worldwide

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

In Japan, the PS5 Pro will cost 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD). European gamers will pay $799.99, while the UK price is set at £699.99. These prices are considerably higher than the direct currency conversion of $700, prompting discussions about international purchasing to minimize expenses.

Pre-order details are still pending, but the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, as well as major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
