PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition: A Collector's Dream with Hidden Design Details

The excitement surrounding the PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition continues to build as fresh images emerge, showcasing intriguing hidden elements. This special edition not only celebrates three decades of gaming heritage but also captures the attention of dedicated fans with its unique design features.

Recently, The Verge had the opportunity to glimpse the limited edition PS5 Pro. Although they were unable to physically interact with the console, they managed to capture fascinating images. Among these is a detailed view of the accompanying 30th Anniversary Edition DualSense Wireless Controller, revealing a distinctive pattern on its handles.

For those unfamiliar, the grips of each DualSense feature tiny PlayStation symbols interspersed throughout. These symbols are so minuscule that a magnifying glass is almost necessary to appreciate them fully, making them a delightful discovery for many during the PS5's initial release. The new 30th Anniversary Edition DualSense incorporates the number 30 into this design, emphasizing the celebration of the anniversary.

Additionally, there are notable secrets embedded in the console itself. One fin showcases a subtle "30th Anniversary" inscription along with a model number. Furthermore, on the top left of the console's gray face plates, a vibrant, retro-style PlayStation emblem stands out, complemented by a special anniversary logo at the bottom.

The aesthetics of this console are captivating and promise to be a coveted item for avid PlayStation enthusiasts and collectors alike. The PS5 Pro was unveiled earlier this month, with a retail price set at $699.99 / £699.99 / AU$1,200, and pre-orders for the console are anticipated to open soon.

The designs for both the 30th anniversary PS5 and PS5 Pro were revealed at the end of the previous week. This extraordinary edition will be offered only as an element of a package deal that includes a limited edition DualSense Edge, a DualSense Charging Station, along with some collectible items.

Production is limited to just 12,300 units, and there remains no formal price announcement. However, it’s reasonable to expect it could reach up to $1000 / £1000. For those aiming to secure one for themselves, it’s wise to act fast, as these units are likely to sell out swiftly.
