You Can Get a PlayStation 5 Pro for $100 Off Right Now.
The PlayStation 5 Pro has finally dropped slightly, dropping from $749.99 to $648.99, which, according to price tracking sites, is the lowest price on Amazon to date. For those who’ve been eyeing a console upgrade but didn’t want to spend full price, this discount makes the decision easier.
Externally, the Pro is virtually identical to the regular PS5, but the internal changes are far more significant than the exterior. Sony has increased the GPU’s power, boosted memory bandwidth, and doubled the storage with a 2TB SSD. Simply put, you’ll spend less time deleting old games to make room for new ones. Sony has also added Wi-Fi 7, which won’t be a concern for everyone, but if your router can handle it, downloads will be faster and more stable.
The console feels familiar in use. You still get the fast loading times that PS5 owners enjoy, and the DualSense controller remains one of the best reasons to stay in the PlayStation ecosystem. The real difference is when playing Pro-optimized games like Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West. These games run at higher frame rates and offer more consistent performance. Visual details become a bit more vibrant, especially on a high-quality TV. Other games will also run well, simply without the extra processing. You’re not losing anything by upgrading to the PS5 Pro; you’re simply getting a little more power when the software allows it. PCMag gave the PS5 Pro an “Excellent” rating, largely due to the performance improvements over the original model.
However, the PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive. If you still buy physical copies of games or have a stack of PS4 discs, you’ll need to purchase an additional external drive for $79. If you’ve already fully transitioned to digital gaming, this additional cost isn’t necessary. Overall, the PS5 Pro isn’t a must-have for casual gamers, but it’s a smart buy for those who want higher-quality graphics now and can’t wait for the PlayStation 6. And at this price, upgrading to the PS5 Pro is much easier to justify.
