The PlayStation 5 Pro allows for better framerates and graphical fidelity, but you need the right game to make the strongest impression.

If you wanted to combine strategies, you could start by applying for the Prime Visa. If you're approved, you could use the $200 Amazon gift card to bring down the price of the PS5 Pro to $500. Then use Affirm's plan to make four payments of $125 every two weeks.

That said, it may worth buying a PS5 Pro instead of a new gaming PC because Sony delivers such a powerful console for $699, which an equivalent gaming PC simply can’t compete with. You either have to spend more money on a complete PC or make compromises on the components you choose to build yourself.
