If you wanted to combine strategies, you could start by applying for the Prime Visa. If you're approved, you could use the Amazon gift card to bring down the price of the PS5 Pro to $550. Then use Affirm's plan to make four payments of $137.50 every two weeks.

However, these advancements come at a cost. The PS5 Pro is priced approximately 60% higher than the original PS5 at launch, making it a significant financial commitment. While the hardware upgrades are impressive, the steep price may deter some gamers, especially those who already own a standard PS5.

All eyes have been on Sony to see if it follows in Microsoft’s footsteps and, in response to increased U.S. tariffs, dramatically raises the price of the PlayStation 5 . The company confirmed to investors on Wednesday that it might end up doing exactly that as it faces a potential $680 million hole in its bottom line from the new import taxes on China and other countries.
