GameStop Lifts Refurbished PS5 Pro Price to $1,399 as New Units Vanish

Summary
$1,399.99 is now GameStop’s price for a refurbished PS5 Pro, up from $800 and about 55% above the $899 list price for a new unit.
A leaked internal memo, later reflected on GameStop’s website, said the higher used-console price was intentional rather than a listing error.
New PS5 Pros are scarce across major retailers: Sony, GameStop and Target show them out of stock at about $899, while Best Buy and Walmart list new units near $1,500.
The squeeze traces to an AI-driven memory-chip shortage that has pushed DRAM prices sharply higher, while expected demand ahead of GTA VI’s November launch is adding pressure.
