GameStop now selling refurbished PS5 Pros above new prices
Original: Is GameStop profiting off homebrew? Refurbished PS5 Pros Are Now 50% More Expensive than New Ones at GameStop https://ww
GameStop has raised prices on refurbished PS5 Pro consoles, with pre-owned units now listed roughly 50% higher than brand-new ones. The odd pricing follows reports of a homebrew exploit on the PS5 Pro, which has driven demand for consoles on older firmware that can be hacked. Commenters question whether the retailer is deliberately cashing in on the hack scene, while others point to limited stock of untouched units as a more mundane explanation.
Why now: A recent PS5 homebrew exploit has made consoles on older firmware highly sought after, pushing second-hand prices above retail.
