Black Friday is just around the corner, and gamers are gearing up for some attractive deals. With the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro recently hitting the shelves, many are wondering if the console is worth buying. Is the PS5 Pro a good deal right? Or should you go for other PlayStation consoles? Read on to find out.
The PS5 Pro is Sony’s latest addition to its console lineup and is also the most powerful gaming console ever. It is designed for gamers who want the best performance. While it appears quite similar to the base PlayStation 5, the PS5 Pro features an enhanced GPU for improved visual fidelity along with AI upscaling and superior ray tracing. The new AI Upscaling also enables gaming in 8K resolution.
Sony will exclusively release enhanced versions of various games like Alan Wake 2, Demon’s Soul 2, and The Last of US Part II Remastered to take advantage of higher horsepower. The company unveiled the PS5 Pro for 699.99 US Dollars, making it around 200 US Dollars more expensive than the regular PS5 model.
2. What’s the Black Friday Deal?
Considering how the PS5 Pro was just recently launched for the global market (except India), it was already unlikely that Sony would bring notable discounts for the new console. However, the EE online platform in the UK is offering a 40 pounds discount on the PS5 Pro. To recall, the console costs 699.99 Pounds Sterling in the UK, which already makes it more expensive than its US counterpart. But EE is also offering up to £260 trade-in value for old gaming consoles as well.
3. But is it worth buying? What’s the alternative?
The short answer is no. Sony’s PS5 Pro already seems pretty expensive on launch and none of these deals make it worth buying. However, there are plenty of alternatives to PlayStation 5 Pro. This includes the PS5 Slim, PS5 Disc Version, and PS5 Digital Edition. All three PS5 series models are already listed for under 500 US Dollars in the US market.
The Sony PS5 Slim is on sale for around 420 US Dollars along with other discounts, while the PS5 Digital Edition is officially listed on PlayStation Direct for just 374.99 US Dollars. This makes it a very attractive deal. You’re getting capable performance and access to Sony’s vast library of exclusive games. You’re really not missing out on much by skipping the PS5 Pro, so check out these older models first.
