GameStop Lists Used PS5 Pro at $1,399.99 Amid Shortage
The used console sells for roughly $500 over MSRP, while Best Buy and Walmart also list inflated prices.
GameStop is listing a used PlayStation 5 Pro for $1,399.99, about $500 over the console's MSRP, as a widespread shortage keeps prices elevated across retailers and resellers.
Best Buy is currently selling the PS5 Pro for over $1,500, while Walmart offers an open-box unit for $1,200, according to Engadget.
Sony's console shortage has led to inflated prices across retailers and resellers. The PS5 Pro was released in 2024, and Sony now prices it at $899.99 — $200 higher than its initial asking price. PlayStation 5 prices have increased by $150, roughly 30 percent.
In Japan, Sony instituted a lottery system tied to game time minimums to rein in resellers. In September 2026, Playfront reported internal memos stating the PS5 Pro shortage would persist through early 2027, and an August 2026 JP Morgan report predicted DRAM prices would rise 400 percent worldwide by the end of the year.
Broader market pressure
According to a September 2026 report by The Economist, the consumer price index for 'computer software and accessories' skyrocketed by 31 percent. This month, video game hardware sales hit a 13-year low. In an October 2026 blog post, Sony made a statement about a PS5 update.
