PlayStation 5 (disc)
The mainstream PlayStation: lower graphics throughput than Xbox Series X but a considerably faster SSD.
Best for
Watch out
UK street (Argos class, Aug 2026): Slim digital ~£519.99, Slim disc ~£569.99, Pro ~£789.99. This catalog row is the disc model; digital is cheaper. The 1TB drive still fills quickly — plan for an expansion drive.
PlayStation 5 Pro
The most powerful console on raw graphics throughput, with Sony's spectral upscaling doing much of the work.
Best for
Watch out
US MSRP $899.99 (from April 2026); UK RRP £789.99 with street often ~£640–£700 (Argos sometimes shows bundle promos). No disc drive included — budget for the add-on if you buy physical games.
Common questions
Answered from the verified figures on this page rather than general guidance.
PlayStation 5 (disc) is cheaper at $649.99, against $899.99 for PlayStation 5 Pro — a gap of $250.00. Prices in this category moved several times during 2026, so confirm with a retailer.
PlayStation 5 Pro, at 16.7 TFLOPS against 10.28 — roughly 62% more graphics throughput. In practice that shows up in resolution and frame-rate modes on cross-platform games rather than in whether a game runs at all.
