Real Regional PS5 Pro Prices

[mibu no ookami]

Much has been made of how the prices in the US are much cheaper than the rest of the world, but once you remove the taxes, this is what it comes down to. Yes, the prices are still slightly higher, but it's not demonstrably higher without the taxes.


US: $699.99
UK: £583.32 (762 USD)
EU: €672.26 (735 USD)
JP:¥109,072 (731 USD)

Sony doesn't control regional taxes.

Sony set the price, which isn't much different from the US price.

Your government set the tax. You set the government.

Your government set the tax. You set the government.

Ohhh you believe Sony doesn't take tax when set the price? lol
Not sure where that comes.

EU: €672.26 (735 USD)

Regarding this, it is worth mentioning that each EU country has their own taxes. As an example the VAT for consoles is different per country. Here is 21%, in other ones is 26%.

Tell the people paying £700 for a Pro that it's only really 600 dollary doos and watch how quickly you get filled in.

I don't even believe this was English...

 

[Old Gamer]

Sony does not set the tax, but
1) The tax scales with price
2) Sony sets the price

if only there was a way to both sell the thing cheaper and reduce the tax.

I don't even believe this was English...

Of course not...

OoOoOoO, racist.

If only there was a way to do this without taking a hit on the price of the unit.

What you're actually asking for is for this to be cheaper than the US... and that doesn't track.
