The PS5 Pro's $700 price point has ignited a global conversation, with even higher prices in Japan and Europe. Let's delve into how this compares to previous PlayStation consoles, competing gaming PCs, and a more budget-friendly refurbished Sony alternative.
The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 US price is already causing concern, but the situation is even more challenging for gamers in Japan and Europe.
Japanese consumers face a price of 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is $799.99, and £699.99 in the UK. Considering current exchange rates, the $700 US price translates to roughly 100,000 yen in Japan, £537 in the UK, and €635 in Europe. This significant variation is prompting 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.
