Is PS5 Pro Too Expensive?

[shawnellesmith]

Forking over $700-$800 for a console just to play a GTA game that will look a little better is just ludicrous.

[danielmontano-lobe]

Yes. Plain and simple. After buying a disc drive and the stand you're over $800 in the hole

[Dusty_B]

Yes it’s too expensive, but countries outside the US got screwed over way worse in price

[Elatenl]

$700 excluding sale tax, 800 with tax.

[byro]

800€ + 120€ for disc drive in Europe. That's 920€. Let that sink in.

[ManFrancisco]

GTA 6 will play perfectly fine on regular PS5

[FightStadiumTV]

800 euro's in Europe... without a discdrive and stand(=920 euro's)

What the hell are they smoking at Sony ? Banknotes?

[lord_lenny]

In Europe it's 800 bucks without the disc drive like what tf is

[cfordd]

700$+50$ tax without disk drive is absolutely DIABOLICAL

[christopherrussell]

If you buy this now for GTA 6, you'll be disappointed. Just wait and see.

[androidunderground]

Nope..No disc drive for a "pro" model is insane 😂

[cubetamalvada]

For anyone still wondering if it's too expensive, in countries like Mexico, this price is around or even over $20K MXN Pesos, that's $1K USD minimum (it includes taxes ~16% in Mexico). Other countries like Argentina, IDK in pesos how much it would cost, but without a doubt it goes above $4K USD.

They could bring the AI upscaling to PS5 but they would not!

[kennypelling]

I won't bother. My standard ps5 is absolutely fine. 99% of people won't even be able to tell the difference....

[Oltheboll]

My friends told me today that the ps5 pro wont be out for months 😂

[Completedit]

Course it’s to expensive....bit of a stupid question on your behalf. You silly man!

[Snickers]

In europe its 800€ which is 880$, why tf is it 180$ more😭

[CharlieFlank]

Honestly the problem with the gta 6 reference is ignoring the fact that gta 6 will release like gta 5 at the end of a generation so honestly the next Xbox’s and PlayStations will probably make the game even better

[Silenceman]

Its a total ripoff.
If you consider the stand is also not included plus the disc drive. if you add those two and add a year of Ps plus you are almost at 1000€ here.
Rather get a Pc at that point ngl.

After watching that the PS5 cost $500 and $700 for better higher resolution and using a 4k tv, is not worth spending that extra $200
