The PS5 Pro will officially cost $959.99 in Canada

After taxes, you'll have to pay more than a grand for the disc-less console.

Hopefully GameStop has a trade-in deal. I did that for the PS4 Pro.

[jznrpg]

I’m going to sell my PS4Pro my kids use to get them a slim. But I’ll sell it on eBay instead

Game makers think we stick to old games and respond by making remakes, but the real issue is the cost. With the PS5 Pro at $960, PS Plus at $11-$22 a month, and games costing $90-$170, it’s more practical to stick with old favorites.

Canada: The disc drive is #1 best seller on Amazon and sold out. Also sold out at GameStop. I checked BestBuy and it was in stock and bought one. After purchase, they had 6 left and when I refreshed the page, it was all gone.

TheSource had it on sale for $49.99 few days ago (also sold out).

[Neonridr]

I imagine they were trying to clear them out before they realized they are going to be needed now, lol.

I'll wait until after I decide if I will get the Pro before desperately trying to get a disc drive. I imagine they will need to ramp up production of these things if the Pro launches in November. Sony has to know that a lot of people will want these and will want to get as many out there as possible.

I would like to point out memoryexpress from canada has sales on prebuilt gaming rigs

Right now for $1199 cad you can get a rtx 4060 16gb ddr5 gaming pc with a 6core cpu
https://www.memoryexpress.c...

The ps5 pro has components from 2020 so for $300 (including taxes on both) more you can get current gen parts this console is just a scam.

[Knightofelemia]

I'll stick to my old PS5 not at $1000 Canadian.

[PRIMORDUS]

At this price your better off investing in building a gaming PC and upgrade along the way.

[TriniOutsider]

You act like that's also cheap for us living in Canada. I swear it's the PC crowd that most vocal about thr PS5 Pro and it's price. But theu have no problem dropping 3000-5000CAD for gaming PC.

[TriniOutsider]

they*

[FPS_D3TH]

I paid $2400 for mine during covid as a prebuilt. You can definitely get them for a lot cheaper.

[P_Bomb]

To think that it’s come to this. Over $1000 CAD after tax, nevermind if you want a disc drive. What a gong show. Clown shoes.

[porkChop]

JFC what a joke. At that price just build a PC. Sony are out of their minds. I understand exchange rates and everything but at some point you have to realize there is a limit to what people will be willing to pay. $960 for a console, and digital-only at that. That's outrageous.

[Daver]

I would consider it if it was for the ps6 but for a mid cycle upgrade that is absurd. I mean the upgrades are nice, the original ps5 should have had them. I guess options are always good but without good games from them that does not mean much and no disc drive built in that sucks

[Retroman]

960.00 for PS5 PRO ?? Plus 90.00 tax 1,050.00
and that not Scalpers prices.

No thanks

[Giga_Gaia]

With the reactions today, I don't think you're going to have to worry about scalpers if you want one, since it's likely not going to be in high demand.

[Retroman]

Agree. it surely will "Not" be in demand at that price point.

[babadivad]

I'm all set...

[Mr Logic]

So $705 USD. Amazing...

[Neonridr]

they are gouging us Canucks an extra fiver. The nerve.

[Neonridr]

$1197 for the Pro plus a disc drive after taxes.

Tough pill to swallow. I could upgrade part of my PC (mobo + CPU + ram) for that price (have a 3080 in my current rig)

[VersusDMC]

I will probably still get it. Kinda wish it was 1 tb and 160 cheaper as managing space isn't an issue for me.

[gold_drake]

i was rly considering getting one until i saw the price.

with a disc drive, it be 920 euros for me.

i aint dropping 1k for a console i already own.
and even if i sold my ps5 i have now, id still look at atleast 700 for the pro and discdrive.

its a damn shame.

ill wait for the ps6 instead. the games i play, run perfectly fine for me.

[just_looken]

Looking at this gen how xbox/sony went along with using there hardware i would not hold hope for the next gen in 2ish years.

For the ps5 pro price you can make a decent gaming rig remember the ps5 is using 2020 parts

[northpaws]

What people don't understand is, getting a consumer to buy the first PS5, they can sell as a lost, hoping to get the money back from software sales.

But convince a PS5 user to get a PS5 Pro is pointless unless they make extra money right away.

That being said, the cost is steep, I was gonna get it day one and now I am hesitating...

[Junghova]

Nope

[FlameWater]

That's like one poutine per week for a year

[FPS_D3TH]

Crazy not to save up another $500 to just get a pc instead

[ChasterMies]

That seems like a lot until you realize you can trade one for maple syrup and beaver pelts.
