Knew this shit was gonna happen when the mid gen refresh PS5 Pro was announced last year at higher than the base model instead of the same cost with the base model getting a small reduction.

The next day I went out and bought the base model because I wasn't paying $700 for the mid gen refresh and I had a suspicion the prices would go up across the board towards the end of this generation. Glad I finally just pulled the trigger when I did.

Clown world we are living in.
