I've been holding off on buying a PlayStation 5 for a while now, waiting for a meaningful price drop or a hardware refresh, but with rumors of a potential 'Pro' model swirling and some retailers offering occasional bundles, I'm unsure if now is finally the right time to buy. I'm not in a huge rush, but my old PS4 is starting to show its age with newer game releases. For those who follow console cycles closely, based on historical patterns and current industry chatter, when do you realistically expect a permanent standard PS5 price reduction, and is it likely to precede a Pro announcement or happen concurrently?
