Why is the PS5 Pro $750?

The PS5 Pro is $750 because Sony increased its U.S. price by $50 in August 2025, citing a challenging global economic environment, tariffs, increased manufacturing costs (especially from key suppliers like TSMC), and a shift to selling the console with profit in mind, rather than subsidizing it, making it a higher-priced, more premium gaming option compared to the base PS5.

Is it worth buying a 2nd hand PS5?

Buying a used PS5 can save you money, but it carries risks like no warranty, potential hardware issues (dust, damage), or a console ban, so it's only a good idea if you can thoroughly test it (check ports, play a game online, verify it's not banned) and preferably from a reputable seller with a return policy, or if you can find a certified refurbished model from Sony with a warranty. For many, buying new or certified refurbished is safer to avoid future costly repairs or headaches.

Should I buy a PS5 in 2025 or wait for PS6?

You should buy a PS5 now if you want to play current games and don't mind waiting several years for a dedicated PS6 library, as the PS5 is well-supported and has many great titles, with the PS6 likely 2-4+ years away (late 2027-2030); waiting only makes sense if you want cutting-edge tech and don't mind missing out on current exclusives or paying full price twice, as the PS6 will still support many PS5 games and the PS5 will remain relevant for years, similar to the PS4's longevity.

Can PS5 run 4K 120fps?

***Most PS5 games don't run at a fixed 4K or 120 fps. They use dynamic resolution, which means the image scales up or down depending on what's happening on screen. So yeah, it can look like 4K, but it's not always full 4K all the time. Same with frame rate, most titles target 60 fps, but it fluctuates.
