If you’ve been on the hunt for a new PS5 console but are balking at the hefty prices of the PS5 Pro, Amazon has a fresh deal that might just pique your interest. The PS5 Pro was unveiled just over a month ago and it’s safe to say its reception has been mixed due to its eye-watering £799 price tag.

However, if you’ve been holding out for a decent PS5 deal before Christmas, Amazon has cut the price of the PS5 digital console to a record low of £334. This is an absolute steal and we haven’t seen deals like this on these slimmer consoles before.

The PS5 Slim is renowned for its performance and since it operates the same as the older console, you can enjoy all your favourite PS5 games in a more compact package. But be warned: you’ll need a disc drive with this version of the PS5 if you want to play discs and stock of the disc drive attachment is quite limited so bear this in mind when making your purchase.

This is a similar situation PS5 Pro shoppers will find themselves in too. You’ll have 1TB of SSD storage built in, allowing you to keep your favourite games ready for instant play, and enjoy smooth, fluid gameplay at up to 120fps for compatible games, with support for 120Hz output on 4K displays.

Each retailer has different charging times based on their policies, and some even offer payment plans to ease the sting of a £700 cost, reports Birmingham Live.

If a PS5 slim with a disc drive is more your style, GAME has some fantastic bundle deals featuring major PlayStation exclusives. For those who already own a console and are looking for this month’s big game releases, Metaphor ReFantazio is available from Amazon.

As the highly Black Friday sale countdown begins – where a lot of shoppers prep for Christmas gifting – gaming is expected to be a hugely sought after area. On top of this, rival consoles include the Nintendo Switch.
