Published:Thu, 26 Sep 2024 / Source:https://www.ign.com/articles/where-to-buy-playstation-30th-anniversary-collection

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the original PlayStation console. To celebrate the milestone, Sony is releasing the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, a group of modern PlayStation items decked out in the light gray of the 1994 PlayStation and sporting the original console’s colorful logo. The collection includes a PS5 Pro bundle, PS5 Digital Edition bundle, PS Portal, DualSense Edge Controller, and a standard DualSense controller.

All of the 30th Anniversary Edition items will be available in limited quantities, and will be released on November 21, with preorders going live on PS Direct starting today, September 26, at 7am PT / 10am ET. At the time of this writing, Sony still hasn’t announced pricing for the items. And if you're interested in the non-30th anniversary edition, check out our PS5 Pro preorder guide.

Preorder the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection at PS Direct (Today)

The entire collection of PlayStation 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition items will be available for preorder at PS Direct on September 26. Note that the 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro, PS Portal, and DualSense Edge Controller will be exclusively available at PS Direct and will not be available at other retailers.

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection at Other Retailers

While the PS5 Pro, PS Portal, and DualSense Edge Controller will be exclusively available at PS Direct, the other two items will be available to preorder at select retailers as well. The 30th Anniversary DualSense controller will go up for preorder at those retailers today, while the 30th Anniversary PS5 Digital Edition listing will go live at other retailers on October 10.

PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition Bundle Contents

  • PlayStation 5 Pro Console - 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
    • DualSense wireless controller
    • DualSense Edge wireless controller
    • DualSense Charging Station
    • Console Cover for a Disc Drive (Disc Drive sold separately)
    • Vertical Stand
  • 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

The retro-style PS5 Pro console bundle comes with quite a few accessories and collector’s items. The bundle itself has a PS1-style PS5 Pro console, standard DualShock Controller, DualSense Edge Controller, a controller charging station, vertical stand, and a cover for the PS5 disc drive (the drive is sold separately, but you can get it here).

The PlayStation Anniversary bundle also comes with a number of neat call-backs and other PlayStation items. The controller cable is a standard USB-C cable, but it one side has a PS1-style housing, which is pretty delightful. Some other PlayStation trinkets are also included, like a paperclip and cable ties that are decked out with PS iconography.

Sony notes there will only be 12,300 units of this bundle made, so you’ll definitely want to be in the preorder line when it goes live if you want a chance to score one.

PS5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition Bundle Contents

  • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition - 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition Bundle
    • DualSense wireless controller
    • Console Cover for a Disc Drive (Disc Drive sold separately)
  • 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

The PS5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary bundle comes with all the same stuff as the Pro bundle, but with a Digital Edition standard PS5 instead of the new PS5 Pro.

PlayStation Portal Remote Player – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

This portable PS5 game streaming device doesn’t come with any accessories, but it’s decked out in the original console’s color scheme, with the colorful PS logo of the ‘90s era.

DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

This is the same DualSense Edge pro-style controller that’s been around for a while, but done up in the PS1 style so it looks extra fresh. This is a great controller, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's high up on our list of the best PS5 controllers.

DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

It's a regular DualSense PS5 controller, but in original PlayStation colors. I like it.
