GoKawiilGameStop raises used PS5 Pro price to $1,399.99
GameStop has increased the price of pre-owned and refurbished PlayStation 5 Pro consoles to $1,399.99, according to an internal memo confirmed by a subreddit moderator. The new price takes effect October 6 and is only $100-150 below retail prices for new units, which remain scarce ahead of GTA 6's launch next month.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The memo reportedly calls the price hike 'intentional,' suggesting GameStop is deliberately aligning used prices with inflated new-unit costs rather than offering a discount, which could frustrate budget-conscious shoppers heading into the holidays. The move also reflects broader memory-chip shortages that have pushed Sony to raise PS5 Pro prices multiple times this year, narrowing the gap between new and used hardware across the market.
- GameStop's refurbished PS5 Pro price jumped to $1,399.99 starting October 6
- The hike leaves only a $100-150 gap versus new units, which are scarce before GTA 6's release
- Rising component costs have already pushed new PS5 Pro prices to double their original $700 launch price
Sony PlayStation 5 Pro — If you're tired of inflated refurbished prices, buying a new PS5 Pro directly ensures full warranty coverage and peace of mind. With GTA 6 launching soon, having a reliable, full-power console ready to go makes sense for serious gamers. It's the console at the center of this pricing story, so grabbing one now could save headaches later.
