Unless you're Scrooge McDuck, price is always a key factor when weighing up which console you should buy - and there's a big disparity between the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X price tags. The PS5 Pro currently retails at an eye-watering $699.99 / £699.99 / AU$1,199, more than $200 more than the RRP of the PS5 Slim. That's a lot of money, especially considering it's an all-digital console and that you need to buy a vertical stand and disc drive separately - taking the price to $820 / £825 (roughly AU$1641.79).
