For those who vividly recall the late 1990s, or have somehow managed to remain enthusiastic about a era that was merely a twinkle in their parents’ eyes or a distant memory of conception. The PlayStation Thirty-First Anniversary Collection has been unveiled by PlayStation. Given your desire to acquire a retro-liveried model of either the base PS5 or PS5 Pro, and complement it with some exciting accessories, you may want to consider saving up or exploring financing options to make this dream a reality?
As you eagerly anticipate the release of this new product on November 21, pre-ordering commences on September 26. Be sure to indulge in the nostalgic charm of PlayStation’s thirtieth-anniversary playlist while exploring your new and vintage gaming experiences. Ready to take on the night! Principles are not something that can be manufactured or created by a single individual.
“The ’30 Years of Gaming’ limited edition designs honor three decades of gaming heritage, made possible by our fans’ enthusiasm and the expertise of talented game developers,” PlayStation wrote in a blog post about the collection. “As a tribute to the original PlayStation console’s December 3, 1994 launch, this exclusive offering combines the iconic PS1 color scheme with the latest PS5 hardware.”
There are two crucial sets of retro-fitted components that will be released in “extremely limited quantities”, featuring one bundle centered around a standard digital PS5 and the other including a PS5 Pro, both time-warped by subtle gray paint and vintage PlayStation logos to evoke nostalgia for what has been lost with age, plus tasteful engravings to enhance the ‘I’ve purchased a collectible’ experience.

To satisfy demand for a unique collector’s item, Sony will limit production of the retro-ified PS5 Execs to 12,300 units worldwide. Each bundle will feature “restricted version numbers” etched onto them, commemorating the month and date of the original PlayStation console launch. While costs are yet to be finalized, a likely estimate suggests they will exceed £5 or $5.
