The brand is celebrating 30 years in style, with a by the original 1994 console. The trouble is, it's been tough to get hold of. Pre-orders flew off the digital shelves, meaning it's been tough to snag the slim console in this unique colour option.
The PS5 Pro was also offered in the same colour, but it's still be scalped. Thankfully, the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition is getting a restock for avid Sony fans. The tech giant's is showing the following message (as spotted by ): "Not in stock? Please check back on Thursday 21st November from 9am PST" As you've probably already guessed by the time zone (that's 5pm GMT, for those wondering), this restock is US-focused.
That means that while you might be able to get the console overseas, you'd need to find some way of importing it to the UK. The console is $50 more expensive than the standard PS5 Pro, and doesn't include a disc drive - you'll need to buy this separately and attach the included cover so it matches the grey console. It does have a neat, PS1-inspired cable connector housing and some Square, Triangle, Circle and X (or as some call it, Cross) cable ties, as well as a limited edition poster and, uh.
.. a PlayStation paperclip.
Still, if you're nostalgic for that grey plastic it certainly looks the part - and importing one from the US might be the best way to beat the scalpers..
