But Argos has quietly discounted the PS5 Pro without even marking it as on offer.

It's thought that the store may be the first UK retailer to cut the price.

Sony claims the PS5 Pro has the "most impressive visuals ever possible on a PlayStation console".

Things like advanced ray tracing improve reflection and shadow visuals.

The PS5 Pro is said to have super sharp image clarity using AI-enhanced resolution for 4K TV too.

Frame rate has been upped too, so gamers can enjoy even smoother gameplay when using advanced 60Hz and 120Hz displays.

The Pro is digital-only and packs 2TB of storage space for your games.

Argos' deal comes hot on the heels of Black Friday where shoppers are hoping more discounts could be on the way soon.
