At $899.99, you are paying a massive $200.00 markup over the official $699.99 MSRP. Hold off until major retailers restock the console at its standard retail price.
Before you drop $899.99 on the PS5 Pro, let's take a deep breath. The standard retail MSRP is actually $699.99. While PSSR upscaling and improved ray tracing are great, paying a $200.00 markup to resellers is hard to justify. Let's wait for standard retail stock to normalize.
