PS5 Pro Pricing: A Global Controversy
International Price Differences Raise Eyebrows
The PS5 Pro's launch price has caused quite a stir on social media, particularly Twitter (now X). While the $700 US price point is significant, international pricing is even steeper. Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while European consumers face a price tag of $799.99, and UK buyers will pay £699.99. These differences have many considering importing the console from the US to save money.
Pre-order details remain scarce, but the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
