PS5 maker Sony has just announced a new limited edition console and accessory collection with a nostalgic look to celebrate 30 years of PlayStation.
The limited edition designs “pay homage to 30 wonderful years of gaming” says Hideaki Nishino, CEO of PlayStation’s Platform Business Group. The 30th Anniversary Collection features designs and colour schemes reminiscent of the first PlayStation console that launched in 1994 (1995 in the UK.)
The 30th Anniversary collection will be manufactured in a very limited supply and will come in the following options.

The 30th-anniversary collection will also have available for purchase a limited edition PlayStation Portal. As well as a limited edition DualSense Edge and DualSense controllers.
Pre-orders will start at the same time as the PS5 Pro. September 26th from PlayStation Direct and October 10th from other retailers. It seems that the limited edition PS5 Pro will only be available from PlayStation DIrect.
In the PlayStation Blog post announcing the 30th Anniversary Collection, Sony has not mentioned any prices. Perhaps they learned from the PS5 Pro reveal, or these limited edition items are going to be super expensive.
