Global Backlash Over PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Variations Spark Consumer Concerns
The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz across social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The $700 US price point is generating significant discussion, but the cost is even higher for consumers in other regions.
Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is $799.99 and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective currencies.
This price disparity is prompting many to explore 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.
