Remote Play Features for PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary Pre-Orders
Revolutionizing Remote Play for PS5
The PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary pre-orders were a bit of a mess last week, especially outside Japan. Sony seems to be taking a smart tack with fans in Japan, implementing new eligibility criteria aimed directly at combating scalpers. To purchase items from the commemorative collection, users must have logged over 30 hours of play on their PS4 or PS5 within the last ten years.
Details on Pre-Order Process
- Eligible players must demonstrate significant engagement with either console.
- Pre-orders deadline set for October 14, with a lottery system in case demand exceeds supply.
- This will help combat the resale market flooding with overpriced items on eBay.
A New Approach to Protect Fans
Compared to last year’s U.S. pre-order chaos, which felt rushed and unfair, Japan’s system appears much more organized. It prioritizes dedication over mere luck when securing PS5 hardware.
Looking Ahead
As demand remains high, it’s uncertain how much of the 30th Anniversary stock will be replenished post-launch in third-party stores. Player frustration from last year still lingers, hinting that Sony needs to rethink its strategies.
