The PS5 Pro's $700 USD price point has ignited a global conversation, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. Let's compare this cost to previous PlayStation consoles, explore PC gaming alternatives, and consider a budget-friendly refurbished Sony option.
PS5 Pro Price: A Global Reaction
International Price Differences Raise Eyebrows
The PS5 Pro's price announcement has generated considerable buzz online, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The $700 USD US price 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 £699.99. These figures significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 USD in those regions.
This pricing disparity has prompted discussions about importing the console from the US to save money. While pre-order details remain scarce, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
