PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle costs £960 and sells out in seconds

The PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle launched just after 10am this morning, priced at £960, and sold out within seconds.

It's unclear how much stock was available to purchase here in the UK, but in total only 12,300 PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Editions will be available worldwide.

This anniversary bundle includes the limited edition console, as well as a limited edition DualSense Edge wireless controller, a limited edition DualSense wireless controller, a limited edition DualSense charging station, a limited edition console disc drive cover, the limited edition vertical stand, an original PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing, four PlayStation-shaped cable ties, a PlayStation sticker, a limited edition PlayStation poster (one of 30 possible designs), and a PlayStation paper clip.

“This special edition PS5 Pro console and accessories feature nostalgic design elements and a traditional color scheme that pays homage to the iconic original PlayStation console,” says the package’s short description on PlayStation’s website.

“Each limited edition PS5 Pro console is individually numbered as a collector's item, and only 12,300 of these numbered consoles will be available for purchase to customers worldwide.”

The first PlayStation console was released in Japan on December 3, 1994, so in just over two months there were 30. Where are the years? I just wonder if the joints are also cracking more and the back pain in the mornings is getting worse.

However, as Tom wrote last week, we had to wait a little longer here in the UK to get our hands on the console. In fact, we had to wait until September 1995 for the PlayStation 1 to arrive here.
