On 19th September, Sony revealed a wave of glorious new hardware inspired by PlayStation's past – a PS5 Pro, PS5 Digital Edition, DualSense Edge controller, DualSense controller, and PS Portal all sporting the classic grey found on the original PlayStation.

How To Pre-Order PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection

The DualSense controller will also be available to pre-order from participating retailers from 26th September, while the PS5 Digital Edition will be available to pre-order from participating retailers from 10th October. If you’re not from any of the aforementioned countries, pre-orders will be available from participating retailers from 26th September.

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection: All Consoles & Accessories

Here's a list of every item in the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection and more details on each:

PS5 Pro Bundle: Limited to 12,300 units to commemorate the 3rd December, 1994 release date of PS1. Comes with a 30th anniversary DualSense Edge controller, a 30th anniversary DualSense controller, a 30th anniversary charging station, and a 30th anniversary stand. While the disc drive will be sold separately, a cover will be provided to match the colour of the console if you add one later.
PS5 Digital Edition Bundle: Comes with a 30th anniversary DualSense controller and a 30th anniversary stand. Like the PS5 Pro, while the disc drive will be sold separately, a cover will be provided to match the colour of the console if you add one later.
DualSense Edge: Comes in 30th anniversary livery with matching carry case and embossed triggers.
DualSense: Comes in 30th anniversary livery.
PS Portal: Comes in 30th anniversary livery.

How Much Does The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection Cost?

Official prices for the items in the collection haven't been confirmed by Sony just yet, with prices set to be revealed when orders go live on 26th September.

Having said that, prices for the PS5 Slim and the DualSense appear to have leaked ahead of time – $499.99 for the former and $79.99 for the latter, if you're interested.

How Limited Is The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection?

All items released as part of the 30th Anniversary Collection are "limited", meaning that we can expect every item to sell out rather quickly.

The only figure we know for definite is the 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro console – Sony has confirmed that only 12,300 will be available globally. That's really not that many.

Why are they not doing side panels for existing owners? Why bother designing the console where they can be swapped out but only sell these as a limited edition console?

@carlos82 But you can't get the gray middle section that way. Is that not worth $200 to you?

Do we know the TIMES those products go live to pre-order? Nobody, not even Sony, is being clear about it.
Thank you!

@carlos82 Greed.

Do Sony really not provide times?
Should I stay up past midnight for the change of the date? Wake up early? Wait until some arbitrary time of the day?

I honestly don't like these designs. I get it — I like PSone-esque designs as much as the next guy. But the PS5 looks modern and sleek as is; the grey doesn't work with it. Same goes for the Dualsense, although the novelty works a lot better for an input device rather than a stationary console.

What the hell, I'm going to try for a ps pro.

This is pretty much standard for pushsquare these days, clickbait. The headline suggests a way to pre order, the actual article gives no such advice. Good job.

12394 would have been a better number for the PS5 Pro consoles bundles.

@Sequel One of us. One of us. Gooble gobble, gooble gobble. One of us. One of us.

Any idea of what time they going live on Thursday.
I’m sure in the past I remember something like 8am or 9am around there.

Good luck to everyone trying to get one! I hope you are able to succeed!

@GamingFan4Lyf And if they can't succeed, I have my acrylic paints and disc drive at the ready!

I'll try for the regular Pro. Kind of scared at how much the 30th Anniversary bundle costs considering it comes with two controllers.

If it’s only PS Direct on Thursday how do the scalper bots get around that as you have to sign in and have an account etc?
Perhaps I’m being daft.
Do they create lots of accounts and addresses etc.

Why go through all that effort when you can pay scalpers to buy it for you, and for the bargain price of 10k

Jokes aside, im not getting one day 1, am gonna wait a bit for a sale or something. Maybe next year.

Good luck to those who plan to buy day one, hope Sony got it figured out so you wont have any problems obtaining one.

My bots and scripts are ready to go. VPN access and fake PSN accounts have been created. I can afford only half of the mentioned 12 300 units so wish me luck
