To celebrate the three-decade milestone, Sony is going retro.
Scalpers are already offering them on eBay for ridiculous asking prices.
Of course, this was not necessarily because the pricey console was in high demand.
Like the standard PS5 launch on November 12, 2020, scalper bots likely grabbed most of these boxes.
Unfortunately, it rarely sold them there, preferring to give allotments to retailers due to supply shortages.
That’s the only logical explanation for them selling that fast.
Those anxiously waiting to place a pre-order for aPlayStation 5 Promight want to hold on a second.
Sony just announced that it isreleasinga 30th-anniversary edition that harkens back to the days of PlayStation yore.
The deck comes in classic PlayStation gray and sports the old multicolor PS logo.
Each unit also has its limited edition number etched into it.
Of course, a matching two-tone gray DuelSense Edge controller compliments the package.
Sony will only make 12,300 retro PS5 Pros, which will undoubtedly go very fast.
Again, these items have no prices yet, but they should be reasonable.
Fans can pre-order the PlayStation 5 Pro, Portal, and DualSense Edge limited editions throughPlayStation Directbeginning September 26.
Sony has 26 retail partners that will stock those items in regions where PS Direct is unavailable.
If you must order from a retailer, reservations won’t start until October 10 for the PS5 Digital.
However, controller pre-orders through retailers are still on September 26.
Regardless of venue or SKU, all orders will ship on November 21.
