International Price Differences Fuel Consumer Discontent
The PS5 Pro's launch price has generated significant buzz on social media, particularly Twitter (X). The $700 USD US price is already causing concern, but international consumers face even steeper costs.
In Japan, the PS5 Pro will cost 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is set at $799.99 and £699.99 in the UK. These figures significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 USD in those regions, prompting discussions about importing the console from the US to save money.
Pre-order details are still pending, but the PS5 Pro is expected to be available via PlayStation Direct, as well as major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
