Sony Group Corp. raised the price of its PlayStation 5 console by around 25% in Europe and in the UK ahead of a likely US increase.

The company announced the decision on its PlayStation blog, with Australia and New Zealand also affected, citing inflation and “a backdrop of a challenging economic environment.” The PS5 will cost €500 in Europe and £430 in the UK from Monday.

    Yeah, PC is a no brainer with any metric except for plug and play simplicity.

    Although with a good pre-built, that point is kind of mute too now. But even so, PCs are so worth the setup, people just don’t bother taking the time to learn a little, so instead buy into a console.
