**Gamers looking to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 Pro can find a significant discount on Amazon ahead of the official Prime Day sales.**
Originally retailing for $699.99 and subsequently increased to $749.99, the PS5 Pro has faced criticism for its high price point. However, Amazon is offering a “renewed premium” version of the console for a starting price of $699.99, further discounted to $619.99. This marks a considerable saving for customers willing to purchase a refurbished console.
The PS5 Pro boasts improvements over the original PS5 in four key areas: advanced ray-tracing, a more powerful GPU, AI-based upscaling, and a doubled storage capacity of 2TB. These upgrades promise enhanced visual fidelity and performance for compatible games.
According to Amazon, these “renewed premium” consoles have been thoroughly inspected, tested, cleaned, and refurbished by Amazon-qualified suppliers.
IGN’s review of the PS5 Pro praised the console’s performance and graphical enhancements but cautioned potential buyers about the initial $700 price tag. This discounted offer addresses those concerns, making the upgrade more appealing.
However, savvy shoppers might consider waiting for Prime Day, as similar deals in July saw used consoles dip to around $500. The current offer presents a gamble: securing a discounted console now or risking a potentially lower price during Prime Day with limited availability.
