As Sony announces the $700 PS5 Pro, the internet unleashes the memes — and even the Xbox is catching strays



What you need to know

  • After a year of rumors, the PlayStation 5 Pro was finally confirmed, and it’s going to cost $699.99 for the base version, which is all-digital.
  • Buyers will need to pay extra for the disc drive and vertical stand, which are sold separately.
  • The PS5 Pro will be available for sale on November 7, 2024.
  • People have been making memes about the insanely high price point, but even the Xbox isn’t safe.

Well, the PS5 Pro is real, and it’s going to cost a real pretty penny, or shall we say a LOT of pennies. Coming in at an eye-watering $699.99 in the United States, £699.99 in the UK, and €799.99 in Europe — and that’s before you’ve even purchased a disc drive or the vertical stand, which cost $80 and $30, respectively. It may beat Xbox to the AI graphics punch but still… $699.99?!

Everyone has been weighing in on the announcement from all sides of the gaming camp, the Sony fans, the Xbox fans, the PC players who still don’t understand why anyone would spend $699.99 and not just buy a gaming PC. Even the Steam Deck clan have been weighing in. Here’s our favorite memes so far:  

Steam Deck users weigh in

Many have pointed out that for the princely sum of $699 you can build a decent gaming PC, but also you could just purchase the top of the range Steam Deck OLED and have access to a much larger library of titles on the go. It’s not as powerful sure, but certainly a compelling argument.
