It comes with the grey cover.

 

[Shane89]

yup just saw it's included, good then.

 

[Neofire]

I need that portal 30th edition

 

[Von Hugh]

12300 consoles is like... 630 consoles per country. Scalpers must be rejoicing.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, like extremely powerful. Sadly you can never understand it if you’re not a nostalgic person. To give an example, I was smiling so my face hurt seconds after starting Astro Bot just because I saw the save file icons being PS1 memory cards. The whole game is such an emotional journey. And I was already an adult when PS1 arrived, imagine those who were kids, teenagers.
For me, bring Commodore into the picture and I’m literally back in my childhood and everything is just pure happiness, I’ve spent a ton of money on Commodore gear without even thinking for a second about the cost. How much money is happiness worth?

 

[Bigfroth]

The bundle comes with a grey disc cover. Disc drive not included

Are they doing a 30th anniversary disc drive? Otherwise a white drive attached to that will loo

 

[Bigfroth]

it comes with a grey drive cover.

Matching disk drive color or cover?

 

[FingerBang]

Wow. I want one.

 

[TGO]

For the Scalpers

 

[Jigsaah]

Did they say only 12000 or so are gonna be sold? Bro this shit is gonna be $2000. I want it, but I already know I shouldn't buy it.

Probably will have to settle for the controller.

 

[sainraja]

Are they doing a 30th anniversary disc drive? Otherwise a white drive attached to that will look stupid.

Only 12K units will be sold of the pro so good luck getting one.

If they had a disc drive they would have shown it.

There is a plate for the disc drive that matches the color.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Surprised how much a colour change can make a console look so damn good.

If it’s white, it ain’t right.

 

[Roufianos]

Dudes, you can just buy some custom grey plates and make the PS logo look like that with a custom sticker for £2 off eBay.

 

[Humdinger]

12500 units means it'll be very hard to get, and expensive. I like how it looks, but I'll probably just end up with a normal PS5 Pro.

 

[R6Rider]

Why would they announce preorders next week but not the price?

That's the fun part. You place your order and get a surprise amount charged to your credit card.

 

[[Sigma]]

$1200+Scalpers heaven.

PS5 Pro Theme Song

 

[Kerotan]

That's the fun part. You place your order and get a surprise amount taken off your credit card.

30,000. A grand for every year of nostalgia.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Normal PS5 Pro = scalpers nightmare, this edition scalpers = wet dream.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yeah....I legit fucking want this.

 

[kiphalfton]

That looks awesome.

Comes at an even higher premium.

 

[FingerBang]

Well, I'll try to get a pro, but it sounds pretty much impossible lol

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Bernoulli]

we need faceplates too

 

[Shake Your Rump]

damn I want that Pro but I don’t love that it won’t release until two weeks after the plain one

Yeah waiting two weeks to play games from three years ago is just too much.

I kid.

 

[AJUMP23]

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

*LIMITED*

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

I called it but its hardly a surprise. The sad thing is this will be so expensive, scalped to death, and basically treated like a hyper car investment. Sony should make the OG PlayStation grey a standard option.

 

[Neofire]

Only 12300 units again? Good luck to everyone trying to pick that up.

Yeah I saw this scalpers are doing the birdman hand rub right now. I'm not spending 1500 for a 30th anniversary ps5 pro.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That is hard to deny

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Am I the only one thinking this looks even worse than the atrocious original design in white? It looks like it caught a lot of dust right after someone smeared dirt all over it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

The plain system is already $1300+ with drive and stand in Canada.

Yes, you are the only one.

GAF is sending a team to take care of you.

Ass of Can Whooping

 

[Moses85]

Sorry if already asked… only available at PlayStation Direct?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I really hate that these are so limited. They're cool. I'd like to have at least some reasonable chance to buy one.

 

[DryvBy]

you’re forgetting that it includes the DualSense Edge which is $200 by itself

I did miss that so yeah, easily $1000 lol

 

[Hohenheim]

It actually looks really nice like that. Amazing what colours (and nostalgia) can do!

 

[possumarmada]

Somehow they would have to sell the piece of shit that is the Playstation portal.

I don’t get the hate for the portal. I love mine and use it 4-5 times a week.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

This is the most depressing image of electronics I’ve seen in a long time. It gives me the same feels as an obituary.
This is actively making me like the white PS5, and that’s no easy feat, I tell you.

You just had to be there, this Grey is iconic, that PS5 Pro looks amazing to me, such a huge improvement over the original colours, that's the power of nostalgia!

 

[dcx4610]

Looks beautiful but I’ll be the odd person out here and say I wouldn’t want it. There’s something I don’t like about having a modern console look like an old console. That kind of defeats the point of a new console.

I’m not a fan of the white PS5 but that’s the color they chose and that’s officially what it’s supposed to look like if that makes sense.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Putonahappyface]

How much is this, for the love of God?

 

[Evolved1]

Can you get that pro bundle through PlayStation direct?

 

[FrankWza]

Nice little detail on all the shells. I wonder if this one will have the startup sound like the 20th does
