Sony dropped a bombshell earlier this week, announcing plans to increase the price of the regular PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and PlayStation Portal in the UK, US, Japan and Europe. The new prices will be introduced on April 2. The price of the regular PS5 will increase to £569.99, the Digital Edition will cost £519.99, and the PS5 Pro will be priced at £789.99. The PlayStation Portal, meanwhile, will increase from £199.99 to £219.99. Fortunately, however, Argos customers can take advantage of a limited time discounted deal on the PS5 Pro before the price increase.

There’s no word on how long the deal will remain in place, so you’d better hurry if you want to make the saving.

According to the Argos website, the discounted PS5 Pro is currently the bestseller in the PlayStation category, so don’t be surprised if stock sells out.

It’s worth noting that the PS5 Pro is a digital only console, which means it doesn’t come with a disc drive.

On the plus side, it does come with a 2TB solid-state drive, which is twice the storage of the original PS5 at launch. With some games requiring well over 100GB of storage, this is arguably worth the price alone.

However, it’s the improved specs that really makes the PS5 Pro worth purchasing, especially if you’re torn between graphics and performance.

The console aims to improve on the original PS5 in three main ways. Specifically with a bigger GPU, Advanced Ray-Tracing and AI-driven upscaling.

The GPU will provide rendering that’s up to 45% faster thanks to 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory. This should lead to a better balance between visuals and performance.

Advanced Ray Tracing will provide “more dynamic reflection and refraction of light”, which allows rays to be cast at double and sometimes even triple the speeds of the current PS5.

Then there’s the AI Driven Upscaling, which is said to use “machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail”.
