Social Media Mocks the Hefty Price Tag of the PS5 Pro

After months of anticipation fueled by leaks and rumors, Sony has finally pulled back the curtain on the PS5 Pro. And while the excitement is real, the console’s $700 price tag has certainly given many gamers pause.

This new model promises to deliver greater power and enhanced graphics, which sounds incredible. However, at $700, it’s almost competing in the same price bracket as the latest base model iPhone 16. This fits with Sony’s recent trend towards more premium pricing. Remember, they were among the first to introduce $70 game prices and have also increased the cost of DualSense controllers.

Naturally, this announcement has set the internet alight. Platforms like X (once known as Twitter) and Reddit are buzzing, with users not holding back in criticizing what they see as Sony’s clear cash grab.

The PS5 Pro brings to the table an ability to manage high-fidelity modes at a dependable 60fps, which on paper, sounds excellent. But let’s be real. The standard PS5 had already been delivering similar performance by dialing down the resolution slightly. Given this, many are left wondering if the enhanced graphics alone warrant an extra expense of $700.

Honestly, with that kind of budget, you might consider snagging a custom-made PC equipped with an RTX 3070 on sites like Facebook Marketplace. Some people, including myself, are opting for just that.

Adding to the contention, the PS5 Pro waves goodbye to the disc drive, and to make matters worse, the vertical stand no longer comes bundled in. This decision is already stirring discussions among fans. Without any standout exclusive titles for the PS5 that fully utilize the Pro’s capabilities, it’s tough for gamers to justify the upgrade right now.

On the bright side, Sony’s roster of first-party games is still impressive, boasting titles such as God of War, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and the newer AstroBot.

Despite the joke going around about the lack of games, the hefty price and slightly odd design of the Pro do raise eyebrows. Only time will unravel whether this move will be successful for Sony or if it will miss the mark.
