Unlike the PS5 Pro, getting your hands on an original PS5 was like a game in itself. I had to join not one, but multiple Discord servers and sign up for restock notifications. Luckily, through the help of my sister-in-law graciously getting up at 3 am every day to check up on the situation, I eventually got my hands on the launch modelSonyconsole and coveted it like it was my own child. Those days are mostly over, and anyone looking to grab the newly released PS5 Pro shouldn’t face any issues besides the eye-watering price tag. However, UK PlayStation fans appear to have an easier time with that.The PS5 Pro isn’t just easy to get a hold of but it’s now£659 at EE, a whole £40 off its MSRP of £700. A difference of just £40 may not seem a lot in the grand scheme of things but this brand-new price cut comes just a week after the console was released. Usually, huge brands like Sony like to wait before slashing the prices of their sparkly new tech. To put things into perspective, the PS5 Slim didn’t see its first discount until four months after its release when both the disc and digital editions saw a massive £70 price cut.
Now anyone in the UK wanting to make the upgrade can save 7% off without waiting months on end. Argos had originally gotten in on the action and also dropped the price of the console down to £659 but it has since bounced back up to £689.99. Fortunately, as part of its earlyBlack Friday PS5 deals,the PS5 Pro is still £40 off at the EE Store but only for a limited time. As we’re well into November, there’s no telling how long this new PS5 Pro UK price be active. But it’s definitely one of the best early Black Friday PS5 deals I’ve seen so far.

I still love my launch model PS5 as much as I did on day one, but I’ve been eyeing up a replacement for a while now. To be totally honest, it’s the PS5 Slim Disc Edition that has caught my attention, but I’ll admit it’s hard to ignore the PS5 Pro with this new price drop.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I’ve been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I’m still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
