The Community is Outraged Over PS5 Pro’s Retail Price

So, what were the reasons behind such a negative reception, you might ask? The first and most obvious issue, which, by the way, didn’t make it into the reveal trailer or its description despite being a top concern for 99% of the human population, was the price.

As it stands, PS5 Pro has a suggested retail price of $700 in the US, £700 in the UK, and a staggering €800 in the EU – almost double the price of PS4 Pro when it launched in 2016. While factors like inflation or component shortages could explain the increase, the fact that this price doesn’t include the vertical stand or even a disc drive really rubbed many PlayStation fans the wrong way. And if you’re wondering why the price in euros is higher than in dollars, despite the euro being around 10% more valuable, well, your guess is as good as mine.
