PlayStation 4 PSone 20th Anniversary Console

All of those cheap and cheerful 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4 consoles sold out at the PlayStation ’94 pop-up shop in minutes last week, and were subsequently posted on eBay for astronomical fees. Fortunately, there’s still time for you to get in on the scalping, as Sony has more of the limited edition systems to sell in the UK – but you’re going to need to know your stuff if you want to get in on the action.

To be fair to the manufacturer, it is at the very least attempting to make this all about the fans, and so you’ll need to jump through a series of hoops if you want to buy one of these online. So, what do you need to do? Well, from 11:00AM GMT on Monday, 15th December, the platform holder will launch a page through here. This will include 300 different PlayStation heroes. You’ll need to study them.

It’ll then send out a clue from the PlayStation UK Twitter account once a day with the hashtag #20YearsOfCharacters, and you’ll need to click on the corresponding personality on the aforementioned website. If you’ve got it right, you’ll be taken to a special GAME webpage, which will allow you to fill in your details. If you’re among the first 100 people to do this each day, you’ll be contacted by the retailer at a later date to pay for your machine.

If you’re not in the first 100, there’s still hope, as you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win the very last device. Did you follow all of that? Pretty complicated, huh – but well worth it if you want one of the commemorative consoles. We’ve included all of the times that the clues will be sent out down below, so you may want to set up some alarms on your phone or something. Oh, and should you need it, there’s more information through here.
