GameStop Will Sell Used PS5 Pros for Up to $1,499, and Says the Markup Is Intentional

An internal GameStop memo, reported by Push Square on October 6, says pre-owned PS5 Pro consoles will cost more than new ones, "this is intentional." Used digital units go up to $1,399.99 and disc models up to $1,499.99, against a $900 new price in the US. Push Square points to tight PS5 Pro supply before GTA 6 and demand for older firmware after recent jailbreaks.
