I went through what can only be described as an emotional and financial PS5 Pro.My brain was vacillating between absolutely refusing to buy it and insisting that I had to buy it every waking second of my life.
This has been a tough time for me personally as I struggled with these very important issues. The good news is, I found a solution and now I’m sharing it with you. I’ve figured out how to get a PS5 Pro without spending a penny! All you need to do is go through the same mental labor I’m about to explain.
Throw away your existing PS5. Because we’re talking about the hardest of the hardcore here — extreme power gamers — I’m assuming you’re an early adopter and have an original PS5 with a disc drive. Unless your PS5 is in really bad shape, you should get a new one. GBP 275 For it.

Add on GBP 25 You’ll be sitting next to your DualSense controller in case your friends come over to play, but they never do. Which brings us to GBP 300 We are just getting started.
Let’s face it, you probably have a ton of games sitting around in your library. You don’t need to buy any more games right now, so save your money and buy a PS5 Pro. I’ve picked out some upcoming games that you don’t need to buy. You’ll be fine without them.
Let’s use the digital store price, since we’re not going to spend money on a PS5 Pro and a disc drive. Those are the rules. I don’t make these rules. I just enforce the ones that make sense.
EA FC25 is coming soon, and well, you don’t need it. It’s simple. If you must have that football hit, just play last year’s game. GBP 70 Saved. Add GBP 20 Save yourself the hassle of splurging on Ultimate Team. It’ll also make you hate yourself less, since you’ll only be packing something for your hard work anyway.
Sonic X Shadow Generations can do that. If you’ve been paying attention to it because people say it’s good, grow up! Be reasonable, Sonic is mostly terrible, and you played this version a long time ago. If you must play Sonic, you probably own five or six previous 6/10 games featuring the hedgehog. GBP 45 In the kitten.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the big one. Yeah, okay, you might say you don’t buy Call of Duty because it hasn’t been good in 10 years and you don’t deserve to play it with the plebs who buy it every year. To that I say, that line of reasoning doesn’t apply to my article, so you buy it, get it?!
No need to buy, just play it on Game Pass. So you may not like Game Pass, but because I desperately want this post to work, I will say that you have a Game Pass subscription and a PC or Xbox to use. GBP 70
This is GBP 225 You didn’t spend it in the next few months. You’ll thank me later, but the important thing is that this brings our total savings to GBP 525.
It’s time to start saving up. There are about seven weeks until the PS5 Pro launches on November 7. Let’s take a look at the things you’ll buy each week.
Starbucks caramel macchiato costs around £5, and before the PS5 Pro came out, you’d buy two a week. Don’t buy it, save money GBP 70.
I drink about five bottles of oat milk a week. Oatly Barista currently costs £2.20 per bottle, while Lidl’s Barista oat milk is only £1.39 per bottle. Assuming a saving of 80p per bottle, that’s about GBP 33.60 Savings over seven weeks.
Who doesn’t love a takeaway once a week? I do. I spend a fortune on takeaways because of the kids, but I’m not going to think you live my perfect life. Give me a curry one week, Chinese food the next, pizza the next week… you get the idea. It’s £25 a week, but let’s skip three of the seven weeks before Pro launch, and we’ll save another ton of money £75
I can feel your excitement rising as you look back and do some very simple maths in your head. You are right. We have reached our target of £700. In fact, we now have GBP 703.60.
Can you believe it? I should have written this as an e-book and charged people £5 a copy of “How to Get a PS5 Pro for Free”. Instead, I’ve told you the secret and all you get in return is a few ads (if you don’t have an ad blocker installed). You’re welcome.
