To mark the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation, Sony has announced a special limited edition that should delight nostalgic fans and collectors alike. In the past few days, the first details about the prices of this exclusive collection have been leaked. The edition not only includes a specially designed console, but also a range of accessories with a classic PlayStation look. But how deep will buyers have to dig into their pockets for this anniversary set?
Important details at a glance:
- PlayStation 30th Anniversary Edition: Limited edition of the console in a retro design.
- Controller and headset: Matching the console in a design reminiscent of the original PlayStation.
- Leaked prices: Unofficial prices indicate a higher price range.
- Availability: Limited quantities worldwide.
The prices of the anniversary collection
According to the latest leaks, the price of the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Limited Edition is significantly higher than the regular price of a PlayStation 5. The leaked information indicates a price of around 520 euros for the PS5 Slim Digital Edition. Compared to the conventional versions of the PlayStation 5, which are currently available for around 450 euros, this represents a significant price increase. This is mainly justified by the limited character and the special design of the console and accessories.
In addition to the console itself, a specially adapted DualSense controller (79.99 US dollars) and a Pulse 3D headset, both of which have an anniversary look, will also be available. Prices for the limited edition PS5 Pro, the PlayStation Portal and the DualSense Edge controller are not mentioned in the leak.
Exclusivity and collector’s value
The high price of the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Limited Edition can mainly be explained by the limited edition. Sony has not yet announced exactly how many units of this special edition will be produced, but it can be assumed that they will sell out quickly. For collectors looking for a piece of PlayStation history, this should be a particularly interesting opportunity.
The design of the anniversary edition pays homage to the original PlayStation from 1994, with the striking gray and iconic logo reminiscent of the console’s roots and evoking nostalgic memories of the early days of modern gaming for many fans.
Conclusion
The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Limited Edition not only promises a special design, but also a high collector’s value. Pre-orders can be placed on PlayStation Direct from September 26, with delivery starting on November 21.
