  • šŸ‘ The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary price has finally been revealed

  • šŸ’° It costs $999.99, which is cheaper than many were expecting

  • šŸ˜… Sony hasnā€™t marked up the bundle as much as we thought

  • šŸ’Ŗ It also means US gamers have gotten the best deal overall

Even though weā€™re close to PlayStation 5 Pro pre-orders going live, Sony has chosen to keep the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary price a secret. However, weā€™ve finally found out how much the console costs after getting a hint when the coveted console went live in other countries (and quickly sold out).

The price of the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary isnā€™t cheap, thatā€™s something we already predicted. The standard PS5 Pro costs an eye-watering $699.99, which makes it the most expensive console Sony has ever made. And with only 12,300 units of the retro-themed PS5 Pro being available, Sony knows that it can charge a little extra on top due to how high demand will be.

A quick peek inside the PS5 30th Anniversary bundle also explains the price. Those lucky enough to get the console (make sure you donā€™t miss the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary pre-order time) will get a PS5 Pro, a DualSense Edge, a DualSense Charging Stand, a Vertical Stand, a Disc Drive Cover, and exclusive extras. Priced individually, altogether youā€™d have to pay $959.99.

As mentioned earlier, the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition was Ā£959.99 in the UK, AU$1,649.95 in Australia, and ā‚¬1099,99 in Europe. Sony was unlikely to sell the console for $959.99 in the US, though itā€™s been surprisingly reserved in its final decision.

The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary price is $999.99. Thatā€™s actually lower than many predicted, as it seemed like the bundle would exceed $1,000.

A quick currency exchange check showed that the consoleā€™s US price averaged between $1,135 and $1,282 when you convert the UK, Australian, and European prices. The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary price only being $999.99 means US consumers have got the best deal out of every country.
