Would the PS5 Pro get a price drop on the Black Friday sale?
Unfortunately, there's no price drop on the PS5 Pro. It launched just a few weeks ago and comes with many more performance and visual improvements for games, so it doesn't seem apt for Sony to drop the price just weeks after its launch. However, the deal price on the regular PS5 is certainly quite lucrative.
