A used PS5 Pro now costs $1,400 at GameStop, $500 more than a new one. The PS5 is the first PlayStation that got more expensive with age, and the reason is a machine that has never played a single game: the AI data center. I went through Sony's price list, the RAM market, the PS6 and next Xbox leaks and Sony's end of new game discs in 2028. Here's how AI killed the $500 console, and what you can actually do about it.
The cheapest console this generation is the one you already own. Play your PS5 on a PC, laptop or phone with PlayRoam, PS5 and PS4 Remote Play for Windows and Android: https://playroam.gg/en?utm_source=you...
Free at home. Pro adds 30 → 60 and 60 → 120 FPS frame generation, FSR 1 upscaling and PS5 play away from home.
