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.

Check back with us on 26th September to secure your pre-order!

The only link we'll need is eBay. 🤑

Buy a bot purchasing service.

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.

How to pre-order: ... don't

I really want a dual sense controller. Hope I can get one.

Yep same day as the PS5 Pro.
Sony nob heads.
Make even harder or worse.

@NEStalgia 🤔🤔🤔, no it isn't 😆

@spcspc not yet. probably will be announced during the state of play tomorrow

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

Sony is delusional. No one is buying this. Lol.

@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

What TIME though? I'm eastern standard and have yet to hear when the links go live?

@Czar_Khastik good luck I hope you get at least 6000 of them. I’m down for 1 myself.

@Romans12 you're joking right? It'll be sold out within 2 minutes. If even that long
