Sony recently announced the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection – a retro-styled tribute that pays homage to the original PlayStation. But how much will the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition cost?
The PS5 Pro isn’t cheap. We already know it will cost $699.99 when it releases on November 7, and this PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle comes with some extras that will only inflate the console’s already eye-watering price tag.
How to get the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition before it sells out
Get our instant alerts: Your best chance to find the PS5 Pro Anniversary edition in stock is to follow Matt Swider on X – and turn on notifications. It’ll look like:
The PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle includes the limited edition PS5 Pro console, a DualSense wireless controller, a DualSense Edge controller, the DualSense Charging Station, and a console cover for a disc drive (sold separately).
It also comes with a vertical stand, a special original PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing, and special collector’s items.
Adding up the extras, we know the DualSense Edge costs $199.99, the DualSense Charging Stand is $29.99, the vertical stand is $29.99 and the console is $699.99. It’s unclear how much the cover is for the disc drive as Sony hasn’t sold a cover separately before.
Add that all together, then, and we’re looking at a total price of $959.96, which suggests Sony will charge a minimum of $959.99 for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle.
However, we now know the special PS5 Pro will cost $999.99. The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition price is £959.99, AU$1,649.95, and €1099,99, which means it should have cost between $1,100 to $1,200 in the US, but Sony has been surprisingly reserved in its pricing.
Why the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition will still sell out
With only 12,300 units up for grabs, Sony will be hoping that the power of nostalgia and exclusivity will ensure the bundle sells out fast, despite the price tag. It’ll certainly make the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Collection bundle one of the most expensive console SKUs ever.
It’s also a guarantee that scalpers will want to pick up the console, which is already extremely limited in supply, with the hopes of selling it for a massive markup to those who missed out.
Pre-orders for the limited edition PlayStation 5 Pro begin on September 26, the same day as the standard PS5 Pro, though you’ll have to wait a little longer for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date on November 21.
Good luck, and happy gaming!
