By now, you’ve probably heard about the PS5 Pro, Sony’s newest update to its current generation console. Despite what upgrades it may or may not bring, it’s $700 and there are a lot of people that just don’t have that kind of cash lying around — me included. You can always trade in your old console somewhere for some credits toward the new one. But that only works if you already have a PS5 to trade in. You’ll be happy to know that Target is offering a deal right now on a PS5 Pro Slim 1TB model that’s been manufacturer-refurbished. Normally $450, you can grab it for $425 saving $25. If you have a Target Red Card you can save even more on top of that. Either way, it’s a great deal and a lot cheaper than a brand new PS5 Pro.

For starters, $700 is a lot of money to drop on an incremental console upgrade. Some believe it’s worth that price, and that may be true, but again, the biggest concern is whether or not you have that money to spend. If you don’t you can always go with an original model PS5, trade in your old console for credits, or, go with this deal from Target. It offers a manufacturer-refurbished PS5 Slim 1TB for $425, which is much, much cheaper than the Pro.

Sure, it’s manufacturer refurbished. But you should know that every refurbished console goes through a 65-point rigorous inspection and is restored to a like-new condition. It’s restored to “like-new” in both functional and cosmetic standards, meaning you’re not going to get one that’s scratched or nearly destroyed. It will be in full working condition with the power cord, supply cord, and a like-new controller. That’s just like if you bought one brand new.

The PS5 Slim offers up to 120 frames-per-second with 120Hz output at 4K resolutions in select games and with a compatible TV. The controller features PlayStation’s Haptic Feedback with adaptive triggers, Tempest 3D AudioTech, and some incredible game exclusives available only for PlayStation consoles. Even with many PlayStation games released for PC, there are still a few only available on console.

Nevertheless, this Target deal drops the price to $425, saving you $25. It’s only available for a limited time though and we’re not sure how long.

In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
