It features a throwback skin reminiscent of limited edition consoles and accessories OG PlayStationIt was launched in Japan in 1994. It features a sleek gray color scheme that allows the old-school Playstation logo to really pop.
The message (“Check back from October 29th, 9:00 AM”) appears only on 30th Anniversary product pages. $500 PS5 Slim Bundle and $80 DualSense controller. Unfortunately, no such message appears in the retreat PS5 Pro bundle or PlayStation Portal product pages.
