Overview
- The higher MSRPs began taking effect Thursday as retailers started updating listings, with UK chains GAME and Argos among the first to reflect the new prices.
- Amazon still showed the PS5 Disc and Digital models at their old $549 and $499 prices for a short window, while the PS5 Pro was listed as out of stock.
- New recommended prices move the PS5 Disc to $649.99 (£569.99), the PS5 Digital to $599.99 (£519.99), and the PS5 Pro to $899.99 (£789.99).
- Sony also raised the PlayStation Portal remote player to $249.99 in the US and £219.99 in the UK, expanding the increases beyond consoles.
- Shoppers rushed to buy before the change, with reports of quick sellouts, and coverage notes that deep discounts—especially on PS5 Pro—are unlikely soon.
