Argos' Spring Sale Has a Brilliant Discount on the PS5 Pro Before the Price Hikes Next Week

Argos is running some of the strongest gaming discounts of the year so far as part of its 'Big Red Event' sale. One standout deal is on the PlayStation 5 Pro. It has dropped to £639.99, which is £60 off its £699.99 RRP. Yet, the PS5 Pro is also getting a price hike on April 2, which suddenly makes this deal even better. The price of the console is officially rising to £789.99, so you're effectively now saving £150 if you pick it up ASAP. Another way I like to look at the PS5 Pro is through the PC comparison. Building a machine capable of delivering similar performance today would likely push well past £1,500, especially with component costs rising and memory prices climbing sharply. Against that backdrop, the £639.99 price tag starts to look far more reasonable for what is currently the most powerful console on the market. With popular new titles like Crimson Desert and Resident Evil Requiem showing just how well new releases can run on the upgraded hardware, the Pro is increasingly starting to feel like a worthwhile step up from the base system. I know what you’re thinking, though, what about the PlayStation 6? That must be coming soon – why waste my money now? Well, young padawan
