The PS5 Pro's $700 USD price point has ignited a firestorm of debate worldwide, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. Let's examine how this compares to previous PlayStation consoles, competing gaming PCs, and a budget-friendly Sony refurbished alternative.
Global Reaction to PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Variations Spark Controversy
The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has sent shockwaves through social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The $700 USD US price is already considered high, but the situation is even worse for gamers in Japan and Europe.
Japanese consumers 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 (approximately 100,000 yen in Japan, £537 in the UK, and €635 in Europe).
This pricing disparity has prompted many to explore importing the PS5 Pro from the US to save money. While pre-order details remain scarce, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, as well as major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
