  "account": "GameStop and other third-party sellers have significantly raised the price of a used PS5 Pro console by as much as $500. GameStop's website now lists refurbished consoles for $1329, which is a $500 increase from its current price of $900. This markup isn't unique to GameStop, as Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg and Walmart are also showing similar prices, with some sellers charging up to $1700. The issue isn't limited to pre-owned consoles, as new PS5 Pro models are also sold out across all retailers, including the official PlayStation Store. The surge in prices can be attributed to high demand, likely due to the upcoming release of GTA 6, ongoing tariffs, and a memory shortage caused by the AI boom. Resellers have consistently charged higher prices since the PS5 Pro's launch, especially after a $150 price increase earlier this year. If one absolutely needs a PS5 Pro before GTA 6's release, eBay might be the better option. Several bundles on eBay, which include a console and extras like controllers, games, media remotes, and charging stations, are cheaper than the third-party sellers and range from $1,049 to $1,387.",
