Celebrating PlayStation's 30th Anniversary with Exclusive Retro-Styled PS5 Consoles

PlayStation's 30th Anniversary Collection

Sony is celebrating PlayStation's 30th anniversary with a special collection that features retro-styled PS5 consoles and accessories, specifically designed to evoke nostalgia. The collection will be available for pre-order starting September 26, exclusively on PlayStation Direct. The official launch is set for November 21, just two weeks after the PS5 Pro begins its pre-orders.

Exclusive Offerings

The highlight of this anniversary collection is the limited-edition PS5 Pro bundle, with only 12,300 units available worldwide. This package includes a gray PS5 Pro console, DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, a charging station, console cover, and a vertical stand. Each unit will boast a unique number etched, emphasizing its exclusiveness.

Pricing and Additional Items

While pricing has yet to be officially announced, expectations are set higher than the PS5 Pro's base price of $699. In addition to the PS5 Pro bundle, the collection includes a PS5 Slim Digital Edition bundle, standalone versions of the DualSense controllers, and the PlayStation Portal remote player, all featuring the classic gray color and the multicolored PlayStation logo reminiscent of the original console.

Message from PlayStation Leadership

Hideaki Nishino, CEO of PlayStation's platform business group, expressed that this collection represents the beginning of PlayStation's journey and its evolution over three decades. These anniversary products are a part of Sony's holiday lineup, which also introduces the much-anticipated PS5 Pro. With enhanced specifications and a nostalgic limited edition, Sony aims to boost sales and create excitement for the PS5 series, now entering its fourth year on the market.

Collector's Items

Fans can also look forward to special collector's items, including PlayStation-themed cable ties, stickers, and a limited-edition poster, enhancing the overall celebratory experience.
