Sony PlayStation revealed the PS5 Pro yesterday, promising an upgraded gaming experience for new and current players. What should have been a game-changing news day quickly turned sour when an outrageously high price of $700 was announced.
It wasn’t long before people online started fiercely mocking Sony for asking gamers to pay so much for a mid-generation upgrade, in addition to needing to buy other accessories separately. Not only that, but the standard PS5 is still a costly machine at $500. But all is not completely lost for the more budget-conscious gamer, as Sony is providing a small alternative for those still looking to adopt their own PS5. PlayStation Direct will be selling refurbished PS5s, both regular and digital editions, at a much lower cost.
