Sony is celebrating 30 years of PlayStation with a limited-edition collection of consoles, controllers and accessories.

The new limited edition designs pay homage to 30 wonderful years of gaming, a journey made possible by the passion and support of our fans and talented game developers. Reminiscent of the very first PlayStation console to launch on December 3, 1994, this limited edition offering utilizes the original PlayStation color design and integrates it into the latest line of PS5 hardware products.

The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be sold in highly limited supply in the following options:

  • PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
  • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
  • PlayStation Portal Remote Player – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition
  • DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition
  • DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection Pricing

The price for the PlayStation 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim bundle as well as the PlayStation 30th Anniversary DualSense controller have reportedly been revealed.

In an article on Dealabs, reliable PlayStation leaker billbil-kun said the limited edition PS5 Slim console bundle will cost $499.99. Billbil-kun estimated that the bundle will cost around €519.99 and £449.99 in Europe.

The DualSense 30th Anniversary controller, meanwhile, costs $79.99, which is the same price as the recently released DualSense Astro Bot controller. Billbil-kun estimates the price of this controller in Europe is €79.99 and £69.99.

Billbil-kun does not have pricing information for the PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition BundIe, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition, or the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition. They said to expect a final price on September 26, when pre-orders open on PlayStation Direct. Sony has yet to officially announce any pricing.

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection: What's Included?

Here's a closer look at everything that Sony is rolling out to remind the world of how gaming history was made on December 3, 1994.

  • PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle: Includes a PS5 Pro console with a 2TB SSD, one DualSense wireless controller, one DualSense Edge wireless controller and a DualSense Charging Station. It also comes with a Console Cover for use with the PS5's Disc Drive, but you'll need to buy the actual Disc Drive separately.
  • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle: Includes a PS5 Digital Edition console with 1TB storage, a DualSense controller and a vertical stand. Again, it comes with a Console Cover for the PS5 Disc Drive but the Disc Drive itself is sold separately.
  • DualSense Edge Controller (30th Anniversary Edition): The DualSense Edge is the ultimate PS5 controller. Designed with customization in mind, it offers high-end performance and personalized features including back buttons. This 30th Anniversary Edition mimics the look of the very first PlayStation controller.
  • PlayStation Portal Remote Player (30th Anniversary Edition): The PlayStation Portal Remote Player is getting a fresh coat of paint for PlayStation's 30th Anniversary. This device allows you to stream games from your PS5 console to this handheld device, allowing you to enjoy your games away from your actual console (as long as you have a strong internet connection.)
  • DualSense Controller (30th Anniversary Edition): The regular DualSense Controller has also been given a special 30th Anniversary makeover. This limited-edition PS5 pad celebrates the look of the original PlayStation controller.

The Design

The PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Bundle and the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Bundle feature a classic gray color scheme, just like the original PlayStation console. The design is simple but elegant, and it's sure to be a popular choice among nostalgic gamers.

How to Pre-Order the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection

The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be available for pre-order starting September 26, 2024. Here's where you can pre-order the collection:

  • PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition Bundle: check stock @ PlayStation Direct
  • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Edition Bundle: check stock @ PlayStation Direct
  • DualSense Edge Controller (30th Anniversary Edition): check stock @ PlayStation Direct
  • PlayStation Portal Remote Player (30th Anniversary Edition): check stock @ PlayStation Direct
  • DualSense Controller (30th Anniversary Edition): check stock @ PlayStation Direct

Is the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Bundle Worth It?

The PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Bundle is a great option for gamers who want a limited-edition console with a nostalgic design. However, it is important to consider the price tag. The bundle is expected to cost $499.99, which is the same price as the standard PS5 Slim. If you are looking for the best value, the standard PS5 Slim may be a better option. However, if you are a fan of the classic PlayStation design and are willing to pay a premium for it, the 30th Anniversary Bundle is definitely worth considering.

A Word of Caution: Scalpers

The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection is sure to be a popular item, and there is a high chance that scalpers will try to buy up as much inventory as possible to resell it at inflated prices. It is important to be aware of this and to only buy from reputable retailers.

The Future of PlayStation

As we look ahead to the future, we will continue to innovate as technology evolves, so you can enjoy each memorable moment in your continued journey with PlayStation.
