Sony's expectations despite the hype. However, a rare sale might be the perfect opportunity for gamers to get their hands on the console. Sony has kicked off its Days of Play sale,

offering discounts on consoles, controllers, and games, including the PS5 Pro. For a limited time, the price has been slashed to £659.99. But that's not the only bargain available for

gamers. The original PS5 slim console is also on offer at £389.99, down from £479.99, if the PS5 Pro seems a bit too pricey, reports the Express. READ MORE: 'BRILLIANT' 4K HD TV

THAT'S 'EFFECTIVELY A FIRESTICK' SLASHED FROM £280 TO £170 READ MORE: WIN THE ULTIMATE HOME SETUP WITH THE AWARD-WINNING HISENSE 55" U7N TV AND PUREFLAT RQ760N4IFE SMART

FRIDGE FREEZER There are other deals to be had as well, such as the Dualsense Edge Wireless controller and the PS VR2 with _Horizon: Call of the Mountain_ for £354.99 , reduced from £399.

Gamers can find a host of fantastic discounts here. Sony is even allowing customers to trade in their old consoles, so shoppers have an old PS4 or PS5, they could get the new console for

even less. Sony also operates a refurbished console shop here, where gamers can snag a great deal. There are plenty of alternatives to consider. The Nintendo Switch 2 is on the horizon for

shoppers wanting a new console, and Nintendo is selling it right here. Amazon is also selling the Nintendo Switch OLED for £240 if the newest console isn't in the budget. When the PS5

Pro was first released, I had the opportunity to review it, and despite its hefty price tag, we were quite impressed. One of the games we tested was _Final Fantasy VII Rebirth_, which, to be

frank, looked absolutely dreadful when I first played it. It had a peculiar blur that made me feel as if my spectacles weren't strong enough. However, the PS5 Pro has completely

transformed how this game appears. Instead of a slick blur in the distance, there's now an option that allows you to output an upscaled 4K resolution with 60fps, whereas the standard

console only allowed 4K 30 or a lower resolution at 60fps. The PS5 eliminates that, and the game looks fantastic. Background textures and imagery look stunning, but Final Fantasy isn't

the only game that looks great. _Horizon Forbidden Wes_t also received some impressive upgrades. Compared to the inconsistent FPS drops I experienced with the original PS5, FPS drops are now

non-existent, and the image quality 'pops' far more than it did on the old console. Article continues below It feels much closer to games on my high-end PC rather than playing

older console – one of my biggest gripes with the original PS5. But the big question is: Should shoppers fork out close to £659 for the PS5 Pro? Well, I believe 80 per cent of people still

probably don't need the console, and unless gamers require the best possible frame rates and resolution, most people don't need it.
