PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition The consoles will be restocked this week via Sony's PlayStation Direct online store. The initial batch of PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition consoles sold out immediately after pre-orders went live on September 26.
This past September, Sony unveiled its PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, which includes PS5 console bundles, DualSense controllers, PlayStation Portal units, and other accessories themed after the original PlayStation from 1994. Although the PS5 Pro drew some skepticism from gamers that month, the specially themed PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition won over some longtime fans when pre-orders opened on the PlayStation Direct Store. The new PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro consoles quickly ran out of stock, and many pre-order units were listed by scalpers with inflated prices. However, scalping efforts seem to have backfired due to limited demand, and prices began to fall below list price. Those prices may continue to normalize as more PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition stock arrives soon.
