PlayStation to Launch Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Consoles and Controllers​

PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary celebrations are kicking up a notch as it has revealed a special, limited edition range of consoles and controllers leaning into the original console’s aesthetics...

Beautiful & very tempting.

I’m all in to the PS Portal 🤑🤑🤑

I think PlayStation 5 sales would improve if this was a permanent colour option.

 

[Veinz]

Those are actually pretty cool.

Starting to spend the marketing reserves after the disastrous PS5 Pro announcement... In this limited edition sounds sooo much more appealing. As long as they don't charge even more for it.

I actually like the Pro bundle. I know it probably cost at least 1000 just because. TBH I think if they included the edge in the regular package they might could justify the 700 price tag

They did the same with PS4, so I doubt this initiative stems from a “disaster”.

They almost make you want to buy another 😆

Best looking PS5 to date.

The original form and function was timeless, elegant and focused, no motorized disc loading to break, etc.

Sad but true.

Yeah they did it for the 20th anniversary. I had the grey controller, was a very attractive pad.

The nostalgia is strong with this one.
And it is a most appealing look.

That wouldn't be hard.

Perhaps this is a stroke of genius. I wouldn't upgrade to a PS5 Pro because I have a PS5, but there's no point in buying a cool retro-looking PS5 because it's just a skin for what I already have, ergo I should buy the cool retro-looking PS5 Pro and kill two birds with one stone.

Hmm yes, my brain is thinking exactly along those lines too. Plus I'd get an Edge controller as well (again not something I'd normally upgrade to). Could indeed be a stroke of marketing genius. 🙂

Will need a mortgage to pay for the PS5 version no doubt!

What, what? WHAAAT?! Why "Limited Edition"? This is so freaking awesome!!! 🤩 It should be permanently available option, that white sucks...

 

[Fezzik]

Need the whole set - once you go grey there's no other way.
Nostalgia is a terrible thing for my bank balance.

 

[TheCracker]

That retro grey works really well with the Pro as the central cooling fins mimic those on the sides of the original PS(1).

I want one to, and with 12000 sets that shouldn't be a problem for a million selling console with a world wide audience...

Slight angry sarcasm could be included in the above... Sony, the S is for Scalper Support

 

[CommanderBond]

I suddenly need a new set of controllers
