I went through what I can only describe as emotional and financial turmoil PS5 Pro. My brain oscillates between absolutely refusing to buy and insisting that I have to buy every second I’m awake.
It was a difficult time for me personally as I grappled with these very important issues. The good news is that I found a solution and am sharing it with you now. I’ve figured out how to get a PS5 Pro without spending a penny! All you have to do is go through the same mental gymnastics that I’m about to explain.
Throw away your existing PS5. While we’re talking about the hardcore of the hardcore – the extreme gamers – here, I’m assuming you’re an early adopter and own the original disc model PS5. Unless the PS5 is in really bad shape, you should steer clear £275 for it.

Add on £25 With the DualSense controller, you sit around in case your partner comes over to play, but they never do. this will take us to £300 And we’re just getting started.
Let’s face it, you probably have a huge backlog of games in your library. You don’t need to buy any more games now, so save your money and spend it on the PS5 Pro. I’ve picked out some upcoming games that you don’t need to buy. You’d be just fine without them in your collection.
Let’s use digital store prices since we won’t be paying for a PS5 Pro and a disc drive. They are the rules. I don’t do them. I just do what makes sense.
EA FC25 is coming soon, but you don’t need it. Simple. If you must play that football, play last year’s game. £70 Saved. Add on £20 Save the money you would have spent on Ultimate Team. It will also make you hate yourself less because you will only be putting in some effort anyway.
Sonic X Shadow Generation can do just that. If you follow it because people say it’s good, grow up! Be sensible, Sonic is terrible, and you’ve played this version a long time ago. If you had to get a Sonic fix, you’d most likely own 5 or 6 previous 6/10 games that featured the hedgehog. £45 in kittens.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a masterpiece. Yeah, well, you might say you don’t buy Call of Duty because it’s about 10 years old and it’s not that good, and you’re playing a game like this with the same people who buy it every year. Losing one’s identity. What I’m saying to this is that this reasoning doesn’t apply to my article, so you’re going to buy it, okay?
No need to buy it, just play it through Game Pass. So you might not care about Game Pass, but since I really want to make this article work, I’m going to say that you have a Game Pass subsystem and a PC or Xbox to use. that is £70 Saved. I don’t know how much skins or anything in CoD cost, but you could probably blow up another one £20 On some kind of cosmetics.
that is £225 You haven’t spent the next few months. Thank me later, but importantly, this brings our total savings to £525.
It’s time to start saving. There are still about seven weeks until the PS5 Pro launches on November 7th.
A Starbucks Caramel Macchiato costs around £5, and until the PS5 Pro launches you’ll be buying two of them every week. Don’t buy and save £70.
I drink about five bottles of oat milk a week. Oatly Barista currently costs £2.20 a bottle, while Lidl’s Barista oat milk is just £1.39. Assuming a saving of 80p per bottle, this is approx. £33.60 Kept for seven weeks.
Who doesn’t love a cheeky takeaway once a week? I do. I spent a fortune on my kids, but I’m not going to assume you’re living my perfect life. One curry for one person, Chinese food the next week, pizza the next week…you get the idea. £25 a week, but we skipped three of the seven weeks before Pro launch and we’ve saved another £75. By making these small sacrifices over the next few months, we have accumulated another £178.60.
I can feel your excitement rising as you look back and do some very simple math in your head. you are right. We have reached our target of £700. In fact, we already have a kitten now £703.60.
Can you believe it? I should write it as an e-book and charge people £5 a copy. “How to get PS5 Pro for free”. Yet I’ve given you the secret, and all you get in return are some ad impressions (if you don’t have an ad blocker installed). You’re welcome.
