The PS5 Pro's price announcement has flooded social media, particularly Twitter (now X), with reactions ranging from disappointment to outrage. The $700 USD price tag in the US is already substantial, but consumers in other regions face even higher costs.

Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while European gamers will shell out $799.99. The UK price is set at £699.99. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective currencies, leading to significant discussion online.

This pricing disparity has prompted many to consider importing the PS5 Pro from the US to avoid the inflated international costs. While official pre-order details remain scarce, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, along with major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
