PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition The console will be restocked this week via Sony's PlayStation Direct online store. Initial batches of PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition consoles sold out quickly after pre-orders began on September 26.

Last September, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, which included a PS5 console bundle, DualSense controller, PlayStation Portal device, and other accessories themed after the original 1994 PlayStation. The PS5 Pro reveal in the same month was met with skepticism from gamers, but the specially themed PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition won the hearts of longtime fans when pre-orders began on the PlayStation Direct store. Stock of the new PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro consoles is quickly running out, with several pre-ordered units listed with extreme price increases by scalpers. However, due to limited demand, scalping efforts seemed to backfire and the price began to fall towards full price. As more PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition stock arrives soon, these prices may continue to normalize.

Sony plans to restock PS5 Slim 30th anniversary limited edition console on November 21st


  • PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle Still $499.99
  • The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition is also being restocked for $219.99.

The controller costs $219.99, which is $20 more than the original white DualSense Edge controller. It includes the same accessories as the regular DualSense Edge. However, the included carrying case is gray to match the color scheme of the 30th Anniversary Collection. As with the PS5 Slim console, customers can only purchase one 30th Anniversary Limited Edition DualSense Edge Wireless Controller per order.

However, it looks like the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle will not be restocked on the PlayStation Direct store. Unlike the PS5 Slim variant, no restock announcement has been provided for the launch of the new PS5 Pro console on November 21, so it's likely that it won't continue to be available.
