Argos customers can grab discounts on a wide selection of video games, consoles and accessories as part of the retailer's New Year sale.

This includes a fantastic deal for the PS5 Pro, which has been given a pretty sizeable discount despite only launching in November.

Sony's ultra-powerful new PlayStation console is down from £699.99 to £659.99 as part of the current sale.

According to the Argos website, the PS5 Pro is "in-demand" and "selling fast", so you might need to hurry if you want to take advantage of the deal.

If you do decide to make the purchase, Argos offers various payment schemes, including the ability to spread payments via Klarna and PayPal.

A big upgrade over the original PS5, the PS5 Pro makes a variety of improvements to visuals and performance.

The PS5 Pro console comes with Sony's excellent DualSense controller, as well as a copy of Astro's Playroom built-in to the device.

While the improvements to visuals and performance are the headline features, it's worth remembering that the PS5 Pro also comes with a 2TB solid-state drive, which is twice the storage of the original PS5 at launch. 

With games like Call of Duty potentially taking up a few hundred gigabytes of storage space, the bigger SSD is arguably worth the price alone. 

Of course, it's the improved specs that really makes the PS5 Pro worth purchasing, especially if you're sick of choosing between graphics and performance.

Compared to the original PlayStation 5, the PS5 Pro contains a bigger GPU, features Advanced Ray-Tracing and utilises AI-driven upscaling.

The GPU will provide rendering that's up to 45% faster thanks to 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory. This should lead to a better balance between visuals and performance.

Advanced Ray Tracing will provide "more dynamic reflection and refraction of light", which allows rays to be cast at double and sometimes even triple the speeds of the current PS5.

Then there's the AI Driven Upscaling, which is said to use "machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail".

Elsewhere, PS5 Pro Game Boost will give older PS4 and PS5 games an upgrade in the visual and performance department.
