Global Reaction to PS5 Pro Pricing
International Price Differences Fuel Online Discussion
The PS5 Pro's launch price has generated significant buzz, particularly on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). The $700 USD price in the US is already causing concern, but the cost is even higher internationally.
Japanese consumers 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 USD based on current exchange rates.
This price disparity has prompted discussions about 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, and major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
