The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 US price point is causing significant discussion, but the cost is even higher for consumers in other regions.
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 prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective currencies, leading many to consider importing the console from the US to save money.
