PS5 Pro's Price Draws Gasps Globally, But Would a PC Be Better?

The announcement of the PS5 Pro’s pricing has sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, especially Twitter (X). The console, set to debut at $700 in the US, is drawing significant attention due to its steep price tag. But while Americans may lament the considerable costs in the US, consumers in Japan and Europe face even higher costs.

In Japan, the PS5 Pro will retail for 119,980 yen, approximately $847 USD. In Europe, the console will be **priced** at $799.99, while in the UK, it’s set at £699.99. Given the current exchange rates, $700 would translate to only about 100,000 yen in Japan, approximately £537 in the UK, and €635 in Europe.

This discrepancy has led many to consider purchasing the PS5 Pro in the US and shipping it internationally to save on costs. While specific details on pre-order locations are yet to be announced, it's anticipated that the PS5 Pro will be available through PlayStation Direct, Sony's online store, as well as major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
