PS5 Pro Pricing Comparison The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated significant buzz on social media, particularly Twitter (now X). The $700 USD US price is already considered high by many, but consumers in other regions face even steeper costs.

Japanese gamers will pay 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 in those regions, leading to discussions about cross-border purchases to save money.

Pre-order details remain scarce, but the PS5 Pro is expected to be available via PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
