It’s exciting to see Sony celebrating 30 years with such a sleek PS5 Pro bundle, but I can’t help but wonder if that hefty price tag is going to turn away more potential gamers than it attracts. With the option for certified refurbished PS5s, it seems they’re really trying to cater to both the hardcore fans and those just dipping their toes into the PlayStation ecosystem.
