PS5 Pro Price Sparks Global Reaction
International Pricing Differences Fuel Consumer Concerns
The PS5 Pro's launch price has generated considerable buzz online, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The $700 US price is already causing debate, but international consumers face even steeper costs.
In Japan, the PS5 Pro will cost 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while European buyers will pay $799.99, and UK buyers £699.99. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in those regions, leading many to explore 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, as well as major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
