PlayStation brings back the 90s with their 30th Anniversary Collection

The 90s are calling, they want their console back! PlayStation has revealed their 30th Anniversary Collection, featuring the classic PlayStation 1 grey. 

As PlayStation moves into its 30th year (I know, try not to feel too old) they’re bringing tech nostalgia to another level.

This limited edition release contains so many goodies; your bank account is already shaking at the thought! To kick things off, there’s a couple of new bundles on offer.

PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Edition (PlayStation)

The PlayStation Portal, DualSense Edge wireless controller and the DualSense wireless controller will all don the 30th-anniversary grey and be a statement piece in your gaming collection. 

Set your timers, alarms and alerts because this limited edition set is coming on the 21st of November 2024.

PlayStation has said there will only be 12,300 PS5 Pro console bundles available — so get in quick! Each one features the date of the first PlayStation console launched etched into the unit. A sweet touch for those with PlayStation fondly in their hearts. 

But how much are they!?

If you’re wondering about the price point, sadly there isn’t any official word on how much these items will set you back. The upcoming PS5 Pro is already sitting at $1,199.95, so expect an increased price point with the limited edition model and accessories.

I’d be taking a guestimate that the DualSense controller will be $130 or more. Only last week, the limited edition AstroBot controller was selling for around $120.

The USB-C charging cable has been designed to replicate the original DualShock 1 controller cable. (PlayStation)

And with the PlayStation Portal still sitting pretty at $329 at all retailers, it’s safe to assume there will be a ‘grey tax’ on that too. 

Preorders are opening on September 26th! If you’re looking to get your hands on these nostalgic gems, check your local retailer for more information.

Doesn’t matter if you’re an older gamer, younger gamer or a brand new gamer; this 30th-anniversary collection is so nostalgic and is a fantastic nod to where a lot of our gaming journeys started.
