GameStop's $1,399 refurbished PS5 Pro sparks backlash

Original: ps5

GameStop is selling refurbished PS5 Pro consoles for $1,399.99, roughly 50% more than the console's original new price, while new units remain out of stock. A leaked internal memo describes the pricing as intentional, fueling criticism and discussion about scalper-style pricing at retail during ongoing PS5 Pro shortages.

Why now: The unusually high price for a used console, confirmed as deliberate in a leaked memo, is drawing widespread attention and criticism.
