GameStop is increasing the price of pre-owned Sony PS5 Pro consoles, with multiple outlets reporting sharp hikes in listings. VGC and GameSpot say used PS5 Pros are being offered for about $1,400, while Pushsquare reports prices for some used units reaching $1,500.
Reports indicate the changes take effect immediately on GameStop’s website, with references to date marks and the store reflecting higher pricing already. GameSpot also notes an internal price difference for GameStop Pro members, who see a lower used price than non-members.
Outlets frame the move in different ways: GameSpot suggests GameStop may be “conditioning” customers for broader next-gen pricing expectations, pointing to wider hardware price increases and constrained supply. Pushsquare and parts of GameSpot’s discussion describe the pricing as similar to scalping, arguing that the cost for used consoles approaches or nearly doubles the price of a new unit. GameSpot also compares GameStop’s approach with similar listings from other retailers and third-party sellers, and notes Sony raised prices for the PS5 family and related devices earlier in the year.
