The PS5 Pro is back to its lowest UK price - but it won't last long

I think everyone unanimously agreed that the PlayStation 5 Pro console was far too expensive with its steep $699 / £699 price tag when it first launched back in November. Thankfully, there's a £40 discount on the console right now over at Argos in the UK, which softens the blow just a little bit. With this deal, you can get the latest PlayStation 5 Pro for only £659.99 for a limited time.

This might not seem like a very big discount worth getting too excited about, but it's more than generous for such a recently released next-gen console, which is also by far the most powerful one on the market. There are a few points to mention, however, and I'm by no means trying to talk you out of this deal – but keep in mind that the Pro version of the PlayStation 5 is digital only, and there is no disc version for gamers with physical collections. The only solution is to purchase a separate disc drive from Sony, which will set you back an extra £99.99.

Additionally, the super-powered specs of the PS5 Pro are only really noticeable if you have the right hardware to view it on, such as an 8K resolution monitor, or at the very least a screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Take a look at our guide to the best monitors for graphic artists if you need pointing in the right direction.
