This discount is especially great if you planned to go big with Sony’s PS5 Pro, the company’s priciest, most powerful console yet. Normally $749.99, you can currently grab one at Amazon, Walmart, and Target for around $689.99. Sony’s PlayStation Direct storefront indicates that the PS5 Pro sale ends on December 25th at 3AM ET, although discounts may remain on cheaper models.</p> <div><h3>PlayStation 5 Pro</h3> <figure><img width="300" height="226" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25630895/ps5_pro_sean_hollister_verge_020.jpg/query-dz0zMDA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25630895/ps5_pro_sean_hollister_verge_020.jpg/query-dz0zMDA"/></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li> <strike>$749</strike> $648.99 at <strong>Amazon</strong></li><li> <strike>$749</strike> $649 at <strong>Walmart</strong></li><li> <strike>$749</strike> $649.99 at <strong>Best Buy</strong></li></ul></div> <p>The PS5 Pro plays many games at their best resolution, while making far fewer concessions than the standard PS5 when it comes to visual effects (particularly ray tracing and shadow quality). Some games simply look better or run faster on the Pro than the base-model PS5, while others look better <em>and</em> run faster.

Another notable feature exclusive to the Pro is PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), which uses AI to upscale graphics in supported games to produce a better-looking image. The difference in performance between the Pro and the base PS5 is easy to notice in several games, although it’s safe to say that there hasn’t yet been a title that makes upgrading to one a no-brainer. But if a lower price is all the encouragement you needed to upgrade, now is a good time to get one.</p>  <h5>Read our full PS5 Pro review.</h5></div>
