Sony Restocking PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Consoles

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

Last September, Sony unveiled its PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, which includes PS5 console bundles, DualSense controllers, PlayStation Portal devices, and other accessories themed after the original PlayStation from 1994. Although the PS5 Pro reveal drew some skepticism from gamers the same 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 several pre-order units were listed with extreme price increases by scalpers. However, scalping efforts appeared to backfire due to limited demand, and prices began to fall towards the list price. These prices may continue to normalize with more PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition stock arriving soon.

PS5 Pro launch sales figures compare to PS4 Pro

A new report shows how sales of Sony's recently released PlayStation 5 Pro compare to the PlayStation 4 Pro, which launched in 2016.

Sony will be restocking PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition consoles on Thursday, November 21 at 9:00 a.m. PT, according to the console's PlayStation Direct store page. Due to high demand, customers will be limited to one console per order, and consoles are expected to sell out very quickly that morning. Still priced at $499.99, the console comes with a DualSense 30th Anniversary Limited Edition controller, a limited edition console cover for the disc drive, a USB cable with an original PlayStation-style cover, and several PlayStation-themed accessories such as stickers and a poster. It's worth noting that the disc drive must be purchased separately, even though the disc drive enclosure is included with the console package.

Sony will be stocking up on PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition consoles on November 21st

• The PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle will still cost $499.99
• The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition will also be stocked for $219.99.

Additionally, the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition will restock at the same date and time on the PlayStation Direct store. 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, except the included case is gray to match the 30th Anniversary Collection's color scheme. Like the PS5 Slim console, customers can only purchase one DualSense Edge Wireless Controller 30th Anniversary Limited Edition per order.

However, the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle doesn't appear to be getting a stock on the PlayStation Direct store. Unlike the PS5 Slim variant, no stock announcement was made for the new PS5 Pro console's November 21 launch, meaning it will likely continue to be unavailable.
