The PlayStation 5 Pro now costs $750 in the US!? Friends, it costs €849.99 in the EU That's 995.33 US dollarydoos. And remember, Sony hasn't raised prices in EU. We're not the ones who've put tariffs on Japan. This is just how much being a gamer costs in Europe.

Awrite. Well. The VAT in Finland is 25,5%. Without that, the console is priced at 677.28 euros, which is 793.94 US dollars. That's still a hundred dollars more than the price of the US console before the 50-dollar price hike.

Jesus, 25% is almost prohibitive... Anyways, the US$ exchange rate has changed a lot since the beginning of the year. There maybe also marketing reasons to have different prices in different regions. Walmart asks in Mexico $14,949.00 (official Sony price 19,299) which is around 818 US$.
