And what about used? Will they at least keep the initial price?

If it's in good working order, no damage or discoloration and complete, you'll probably be able to sell it still. PS4 used was OK used I recall.

 

[ManaByte]

If the bundle was $1,230 or so I was seriously considering it. But it's not coming until November 21st, and I could get a Pro+4TB SSD+disc drive for about the same price. So probably just pre-ordering a Pro on Thursday.

 

[Kerotan]

Haven't checked, but i would say it's a very safe bet. You'll probably get at least your money back with a limitation of just 12.300.

I won't get my hopes up but if I'm lucky I'll get the Pro bundle and use it.

I'd resell the Pro controller in the box and keep the regular controller. I'd probably buy a spare regular controller too.

And when the PS6 launches I'd resell it then.

So pre orders go live for the 30th edition and regular Pro the same day but the 30th launches 2 weeks later? I'd probably just wait the extra 2 weeks. Honestly though I just hope it get a Pro at launch. Even the regular isn't guaranteed.

 

[Putonahappyface]

A sign of things to come for the standard PS5 PRO. I dread to think what the scalper sludge is going to want for the PS5 PRO 30th anniversary bundle.

 

[saintjules]

Guessing the price of the bundle - 2:33

Yeah I was thinking the same, honestly don't know what I'd do if I can choose between the two at that moment, which one I'd get. Part of me thinks if you get a chance to buy a 30th then you have to take it, even though all I really want is the console and standard controller. I'd also constantly be worried that if my house ever gets robbed it is something I can never replace, so I'd be constantly living with that anxiety. The compromise might just be getting the standard Pro and a 30th controller.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Just secured a regular Pro from a local retailer. Collect on delivery, guaranteed Nov 8th.

Can now fully focus on this Limited Pro bundle the 26th.

Here a side by side of the two models btw:

And how potential 30th plates would look on a regular model:

I know the classic is pure nostalgia but I actually like the black/white combo.

Thanks

I looked everywhere and the playstation direct site seems to be US only.

So far i had no luck anywhere.

If you get a LE pro bundle and I dont I will buy your DS Edge and charging dock from you.

There's no confirmation on which Canadian retailers will be getting the bundle to sell. So far based on an Instagram post, Gamespot may have but don't know how many they will get, and Wal-Mart is not getting the bundle at all. No info on other retailers.

 

[bundylove]

canada is screwed again.

I have no clue what they mean by paeticipating retailers

 

[orosballs]

Just want the regular ps5 pro..curious how much F5'ing I'm going to have to do

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Can you import via Amazon?
I'm hoping the prices are not to bad.

Seems like pre orders on canada for the 30th bundle start in october so i would hope amazon canada will have some

 

[Dr.D00p]

Out of those 12,300 I'd love to know just how many will make it outside to Joe Public for sale.

..how many will disappear to 'insiders' at Sony and friends of friends to those who work, or know people who work for Sony.

I'd suggest it won't be much more than 10,000.

 

[Big Baller]

Nintendo better drop Switch 2 at TGS so I can forget this thing exists.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Why is a country as rich as Canada not on the list of countries with PS Direct?

Ontario Would Be Fifth-Poorest, Quebec Second-Poorest, U.S. State | National Review

America’s much-discussed growth slowdown is very real, but the picture north of the border is even worse.

[DenchDeckard]

Sorry if anyone's commented. Do we know when pre orders go live? As in what time. Just trying to work out if I should be up till midnight on the day.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I'm almost completely out on the 30th edition with my luck I'll end up missing out on both trying to get that unicorn purchase but it's so damn awesome. Sony is annoying it shouldn't be up on the same day

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

Sorry if anyone's commented. Do we know when pre orders go live? As in what time. Just trying to work out if I should be up till midnight on the day.

UPDATE: On September 26, 2024, pre-orders will be available directly from PlayStation at direct.playstation.com and at participating retailers in territories where direct.playstation.com isn’t available. On October 10, 2024, pre-orders will be available at all other participating retailers.

If it’s up for pre order the same time as the Pro than probably in 3 days and 9 hours. At least that’s the countdown on Era.

I’m getting PS Direct in Spain. Don’t talk me about being poor. You’d probably pass out if you know how much a German earns yearly and they are our rich guys.

 

[//DEVIL//]

what ? this is not available in Canada ? we are part of NA for fucks sake.

fuck you sony in the ass u fucking retards.

fuck man i am annoyed. this will force all canadians to pay scalpers if we ever want one. ffs.

and fuck this article too. I am in Ontario and we are not poor. and even if it ever was, Canada is not Ontario only -_-

 

[Führer-President Banjo]

Scalpers:

 

[alstrike]

Is it gonna be one per customer or we can buy as many as we can? I have a few friends that want one

 

[Kings Field]

Unless Sony has some new system in place to prevent scalping, the odds of an actual person who wants this is slim to none.

 

[saintjules]

I have no idea.

Yeah that's for the regular base PS5 digital limited edition. I don't want that, I want the Pro Bundle. Sadly I think it will cost over $1KUSD for it.

Unless Sony has some new system in place to prevent scalping, the odds of an actual person who wants this is slim to none.

The queue system that they did back in 2020 for the base PS5 pre-order may be what they do again.

 

[CitizenKratos]

So... Canadians, our best bets are Best Buy, Gamestop, and Amazon on the 26th?
I was lucky to get the PS4 20th anniversary a decade ago when they stocked it suddenly on the Sony Store website, not sure if they even sell consoles anymore.
I must have this... must.

I'm thinking there may be no chance for us without Playstation Direct as an option. The demand seems obscenly above supply too.

 

[Fess]

this will be a 3000$ on ebay within seconds.

sucks because I want one. but I don't have bots and I know I will not be able to get one.

Yeah this is what I want, and only this, and that gets me depressed because there is just no way I could get one. Took me half a year and using some website with a search script updating store supply every 30 second to find a regular PS5, only managed because one store sold it bundled with an extra controller and the scalper bots weren’t tuned in for that yet.

Why can’t they make more of these? They must see the talk and realize that this is what enthusiasts want. Make another 5 million, they’ll sell out too.

You don't think they have an allocated number outside the 12k they made separately for those people? Probably without a number on those. Maybe.

 

[saintjules]

FYI the Pro limited Bundles will have a disc drive cover that matches the color in case you bought a white drive already.

 

[Saturn Dragon]

It sucks that is so limited.
But it looks great. Original grey 1994 Playstation color is fantastic.

 

[thebigmanjosh]

I would like to make an attempt to get the Anniversary Bundle, but I find it strange that we may not know about the price until 2 days before pre-orders go live.

I’m just hoping there’s some priority invites. They did it for PS5 launch and I thought that worked out pretty well on Direct

 

[saintjules]

Yea I remember that. Invite via PSN account. I'm sure we'll more tomorrow if the 24th is true about SOP. This episode has to be extended.

 

[analog_future]

I just want the DualSense Edge. I'm hoping that's actually something attainable unlike the console.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

i like how it’s gonna be hard to even get a pro it seems.

 

[Self High Five]

FYI the Pro limited Bundles will have a disc drive cover that matches the color in case you bought a white drive already.

Oh nice the plastic shell cover instead of the actual disc drive. God I hope I'm lucky enough to get one. $1k well spent!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I gotta admit, this looks really good but I'm not sold on the Pro.

 

[Celcius]

They should keep this as a permanent color alternative, even if they have to charge more.
Tons of folks love this color scheme over plain white one.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

They only release the console in the shit white color because they know people prefer other colors and they earn money for other faceplates.

 

[nial]

>nintendo
>tgs
lol
BTW, the scarcity sucks but it is what it is. Just get a special digital PS5 Slim ($500, according to billbil-kun), which looks like it will be easily available.

 

[nial]

This whole event is better and more ambitious than the 20th anniversary one ten years ago, including a much, MUCH better celebration game (Astro Bot vs. LittleBigPlanet 3)
But man, one big thing is missing here; THE FRICKIN' THEMES.

Just like God of War Ragnarok, see the PS4 getting ANOTHER cool full-blown special theme, while the PS5 gets nothing or has to settle for a Welcome Hub theme.

 

[DryvBy]

That's just due to inflation. It's hurting everyone.

Germans are the rich guys?

This is the past my friend.

Highest Energy prices, taxes and ost stupid government in the in the world.
Dying industry. We germans are f**ked

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I want this so much.
So aestheticaly pleasing.

 

[yogaflame]

I still hope that it will be also be a standard colorway by next year for pro.
