Legacy Of PlayStation’s Anniversary Edition Consoles
Specially curated anniversary editions have been a staple in Sony’s approach to marking significant milestones, making it a common sight to see themed consoles around the corner every time something major happens.
The theme inspired by the first PlayStation ever was also earlier used for the 20th Anniversary celebrations, at the time of which a limited edition PlayStation 4 was announced to celebrate.
In a unique twist, back in 2018, Sony released PlayStation 4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition in a dawning blue translucent body, which proved to be a huge hit amongst the fans.
The blog also revealed that only 12,300 units of PS5 Pro’s 30th Anniversary Edition will be put out, meaning you will probably have to get in line early when Pre-Orders finally begins on 26th September.
