Sony Restocking PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Consoles

Key Takeaways

  • PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary consoles are restocking for $499.99 on November 21.
  • The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller is also getting restocked.
  • The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary edition does not appear to be restocking on November 21.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the anticipation and excitement surrounding the restocking of the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition console is palpable. Having grown up with the original PlayStation, this limited edition PS5 feels like a nostalgic dream come true.

This week, you can expect more PlayStation 5 Slim Limited Edition for the 30th Anniversary units to be available via Sony’s online store, PlayStation Direct. The initial stock of these PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary consoles were swiftly bought up following their pre-order launch on September 26.

In September of this year, Sony introduced the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, which consists of PS5 bundles, DualSense controllers, PlayStation Portal units, and other accessories inspired by the original PlayStation from 1994. Despite some gamers expressing doubt following the reveal of the PS5 Pro that same month, the specially themed PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition managed to win over some long-time fans when pre-orders became available on the PlayStation Direct store. The new PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro consoles sold out rapidly, with several pre-ordered units being resold by scalpers at inflated prices. However, it appears that these reselling efforts were ultimately unsuccessful due to low demand, and prices have since started falling back towards the original list price. It’s expected that these prices will continue to stabilize as more PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition consoles become available.

On Thursday, November 21, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Sony will replenish PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition consoles, as indicated on the PlayStation Direct store page. Given the high demand, each customer can only order one console. These consoles are expected to sell out swiftly that morning. The price remains at $499.99. The bundle comes with a DualSense 30th Anniversary Limited Edition controller, a limited-edition disc drive cover, a USB cable housed in an original PlayStation style, and various PlayStation-themed items such as stickers and posters. However, it’s important to note that you’ll need to purchase the disc drive separately, even though the disc drive cover is part of the console package.

Sony to Restock PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Consoles on November 21

  • PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundles will still be $499.99
  • DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition will also be restocked for $219.99.

To add on, the limited edition DualSense Edge Wireless Controller, celebrating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, will be restocked simultaneously on its release date and time at the PlayStation Direct store. Priced at $219.99, this special edition controller is $20 higher than the standard white DualSense Edge model. The package comes with the same accessories, but the carrying case has been changed to a gray tone to align with the 30th Anniversary Collection’s color scheme. Similar to the PS5 Slim console, customers can only purchase one DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition per order.

It seems the PlayStation Direct store won’t be getting more of the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle, unlike the regular PS5 Slim model. No restock announcement was made for the new PS5 Pro console launch on November 21, suggesting it may remain out of stock.
