The PS5 Pro is sure to be on everyone’s slightly optimistic Christmas list this year, young and old alike. The inevitably high price that Sony has charged for the most powerful console ever means that having someone else buy it for you would actually make life a lot easier.

Of course, that price also means that only the most generous (and financially liquid) gifters might consider giving one as a gift, so most people will instead try to figure out whether they can justify the purchase themselves. As someone who is selling their PS5 and has already spent a few hundred pounds to buy one, I have thoughts that may be insightful to you.
