Global Backlash Over PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Variations Spark Consumer Concerns
The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 USD US price point is causing significant discussion, but the cost is even higher internationally. While US consumers express concern, Japanese and European gamers face even steeper prices.
The PS5 Pro will cost 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD) in Japan, $799.99 in Europe, and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 USD based on current exchange rates.
This pricing disparity has prompted many to consider importing the console from the US to save money. While pre-order details are still pending, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
