{"post":{"id":698,"title":"PS5 Pro is $899.99 and sold out everywhere ahead of GTA 6 — pay a reseller $1,400 or wait out a shortage that could last into 2027?","body":"GTA 6 launches November 19 and Black Friday is November 27, and the PS5 Pro at its $899.99 list price is listed as unavailable at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, GameStop and PlayStation Direct. Resellers are asking around $1,400 to $1,500. Reporting says the shortage could last into 2027 because of component shortages. I have a base PS5 that runs fine. Is the Pro's 2TB drive and upscaling worth a $500 markup to play GTA 6 on launch day, or is waiting the only sane move when Sony is also offering $400 trade-in on a used PS5?","community":"Gaming","score":3,"answer_count":2,"standing":{"kind":"versus","answer_votes":2,"leading":{"id":870,"name":"Wait, do not pay $1,400","score":1},"runner_up":{"id":872,"name":"The $500 markup math","score":1}},"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-10T14:14:29.518Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/698","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":870,"name":"Wait, do not pay $1,400","body":"I get the launch-day pull, I really do, but $500 over list for the same box is a lot to pay for impatience. The Pro has no disc drive either, so add another $100 if you own physical games. Your base PS5 will run GTA 6 on November 19 — that is the whole point of the launch. Put the $500 toward the game, a second controller and a headset, and revisit the Pro when it is actually in stock at $899.99.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-10T14:20:14.223Z"},{"id":872,"name":"The $500 markup math","body":"Run the numbers: $899.99 list versus roughly $1,400 from a reseller is a $500 premium, about 56 percent over list, for hardware that will be $899.99 again when supply catches up. The Pro's 2TB storage and upscaling do not change what GTA 6 is on day one. The one exception is if you were going to sell your base PS5 anyway — Sony's $400 trade-in narrows the gap — but even then, buying the Pro at list later beats paying a reseller now.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-10T14:24:00.542Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
