The PS5 Pro has experienced its second significant price reduction since its release just last week. In a surprising move, Currys has slashed the console’s price by £40, bringing it down to £669 from its original RRP of £699.99.
This rapid price drop may suggest that the consoles aren’t selling as well as anticipated. However, for those who have been waiting for a discount, this could be the perfect opportunity especially with Christmas around the corner.
Argos recently reduced the price of the PS5 Pro but has since increased it again. Fortunately, Currys has stepped in to offer a price cut just before Black Friday so make sure you jump on it before it goes.
Amazon, Very and Sony themselves have yet to follow suit, but we will keep you updated if they do. Currys also offers the option to spread the cost of the console, and it can be picked up at hundreds of stores across the UK.
The PS5 Pro is the latest and most advanced PlayStation, boasting superior graphical capabilities that push framerates and resolution far beyond the base model.
From this point forward, games are required to support the Pro, and several major titles have received Pro patches this week to utilise the console’s additional power.
Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 now supports 100fps, a significant increase from 60fps on the standard PS5, while Sony’s zombie hits The Last Of Us Part I and 2, superhero blockbuster SpiderMan 2 and various other titles from Horizon Zero Dawn to Ratchet and Clank and Gran Turismo 7 are all receiving new enhancements.
In addition, a number of PSVR2 games are also in line for upgrades, including No Man’s Sky and Kayak VR. At a price of £699, it can be off-putting for most gamers which is why we’ve highlighted this deal.
If you’re looking for an alternative, you can get the standard PS5 digital edition console from EE for under £400, as we recognise the hefty upfront cost (even in the sale) won’t be for everyone. There’s also a great number of offers on the Nintendo Switch straight from Nintendo themselves that you can find right here.
