PS5 Pro fans can pick up disc drive bundle on Very for a limited time
Very is selling a PS5 Pro bundle that lets gamers upgrade with ease
For gamers wanting to grab a PS5 Pro but have been waiting for a great deal - now might be the chance thanks to a limited time deal by Very.
The tech experts are selling a great bundle for PS5 Pro for £758 on Very. The good news is that it now includes a disc drive attachment, so gamers can enjoy all the games they bought on physical media. Separately, these would cost around £800, but Very has knocked a healthy £40 off the price for payday.
The PS5 Pro is Sony's newest and greatest console that it has released with some big upgrades so games run games like Ratchet and Clank, God of War and more at the best possible FPS and resolution as well as more consistent frame rates for silky smooth gameplay with support for 60Hz and 120Hz displays.
That's thanks to the upgraded GPU with 67% more compute units and 28% faster memory, resulting in 45% faster rendering.
For shoppers wanting some alternatives, the Nintendo Switch 2 is here right now for shoppers wanting the 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 your budget.
When it first released, I queued to pre-order the console, and in the months since my partner and I have been impressed. One game I tried was Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which honestly looked awful when I first played it.
It had a blur that made me feel like my glasses weren't strong enough, however, the PS5 Pro has completely changed how this game looks.
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 allowed only 4K 30 or a lower resolution at 60fps. PS5 Pro eliminates that, and the game looks fantastic.
Background textures and imagery look gorgeous, but Final Fantasy isn't the only game that looks great. Horizon Forbidden West got some great upgrades.
Compared to the inconsistent FPS drops I got with the original PS5, FPS drops are now non-existent and the image quality 'pops' far more compared to the old console.
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.
Should shoppers spend close to £699 on the PS5 Pro? Personally, I believe the majority of people still probably don't need the console, unless gamers need the best possible frame rates and resolution to justify the high price.
