Sony Launched a PS5 Bundle with PS1-Inspired Designs

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation brand, Sony has introduced a special collection of PlayStation 5 products. This collection includes limited edition versions of the PS5 Pro and PS5 Digital Edition consoles, as well as various accessories. The design of these products pays homage to the original PlayStation console, featuring the classic color scheme and incorporating nostalgic elements. The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle includes a 2TB SSD, Wi-Fi 7 support, and matching accessories such as the DualSense Edge wireless controller, a charging station, and a console cover for the disc drive. Additionally, it comes with exclusive collector’s items like a PlayStation sticker, a limited edition poster, and a PlayStation paperclip.

The PS5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle offers similar nostalgic design elements and includes a 1TB SSD, a DualSense wireless controller, and a console cover for the disc drive. Both bundles also feature a vertical stand and special cable ties styled after the original PlayStation controller. In addition to the consoles, Sony has released standalone 30th Anniversary Limited Edition versions of the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller and the PlayStation Portal Remote Player. These products will be available in limited quantities, with the PS5 Pro bundle being produced in a run of 12,300 units, symbolizing the launch date of the first PlayStation console.
