      $1000 at jbhifi for a 11.5 terraflop 2tb series x.
      $1200 for a 33.5 terraflop 2tb ps5 pro.
      And people are sooking over $200 difference. 🤣🤣🤣
      Even with the disk drive it's a bargain for what ign and digital foundry have called a 4070 gpu equivalent in the last 24 hrs..
      And no you can't make a pc at this price, look up the price of a 4070.
      I'm in on day one pre order.

    in Norway the price is about 4000kr more than when I bought the PS5 (about 10.000 norwegian kr, when I bought it it was about 6000 kr)
    the virtical stand is about 400
    the disc drive is up to 1800
    so if you want the disc drive and the stand you might haft to pay up to 12.000 norwegian kr, and that's not counting the games you might want to buy too or an extra controller for multiplayer
    ....just thought I'd mention it since this channel talked about the price in other regions

    Why do Sony treat British Pounds and American Dollars as exactly the same value, when they are not. If the currency exchange was accurate, it should be £590, not £700.
    I feel sorry for the Japanese PlayStation gamers too, 118,000 yen, which is 840 US Dollars
    Sony must have some awful accountants
    Edit: Also, shipping a American PS5 Pro to use in the UK wouldn't work out, due to the plugs being different in the two countries. You would not be able to use an American plug in a UK wall. outlet. Same with trying to use an American PS5 Pro in France or Germany

    Honestly the reason why I yell at people is because what message it sends to this corporation that already get's away with so much. Sony is literally the *SITH* right now and they're building the *Death Star* in front of our faces and people are looking out the window and saying OH! that's cool when it's not. Buying this PS5 Pro let's them know they don't have to do anything because they have the fanbase brainwashed with the brand name because there sure as hell aren't any games. 👀

    That’s the problem with it,here in the UK it’s £700. $700 is equivalent to around £590 if the console was £590 the console disc drive and stand would come to around £700. All we get for £700 tho is the console. Absolute scam from Sony, I wish people wouldn’t buy it to show Sony who’s in charge. There’s always those loyalists who defend whatever Sony do tho. I hope this console fails so much tho

    PS4 Pro was £350 by comparison to now PS5 Pro at £700. Exactly double the price they think people are just going to accept that? I don't think so Sony.

    What they should have done imo was just beef the cpu and sell the digital edition for $500.00. I don't care about graphics, I care about performance.

    This is clearly price gouging IMO. Lots of industries doing this now-a-days. It'll lead to an inevitable crash that'll force these companies to give consumers a better deal or they'll crumble. Until that happens, PC gaming has a huge advantage. As much as i don't like Xbox, they provided the competition needed to keep sony in check.
