Sony announces limited edition 30th anniversary PS5 consoles

Earlier this month, Sony officially started PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebrations, teasing a couple of their plans at the time. The PlayStation maker has now ramped up the celebrations in a major way – unveiling a suite of limited edition PS5 consoles and accessories.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, Hideaki Nishino – the 

CEO of Platform Business Group at SIE said: “As we continue our celebrations leading up to the 30th anniversary of the first PlayStation console launch, we have a special treat to reveal today that brings the past together with the present.”

With that, Sony officially revealed a full set of PlayStation One themed hardware. As expected, the consoles in particular will be in limited supply, and so you’ll have to be quick to nab them when pre-orders go live on the 21st of November; but here’s what you can expect:

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

Both the PS5 and its Pro counterpart also include a couple bonus additions:

• Original PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing
• Four PlayStation Shapes cable ties
• PlayStation sticker
• Limited Edition PlayStation Poster (1 of 30 possible designs)
• PlayStation Paperclip

PlayStation has always celebrated its major anniversaries in a big way, and its 30th seems to be no different. It’s therefore a shame to see that production is so limited, as in many ways it looks better than the base console.
