New PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles are dull, but that's a good thing.

As we approach the end of the year, Sony has some exciting news for PlayStation fans. They are commemorating the 30th anniversary of PlayStation by releasing limited edition consoles and controllers with a nostalgic paint job reminiscent of the original PS1 era.

For those of us who have been around since the early days of PlayStation, this may make us feel a little old. But it's hard to believe that it's already been three decades since the brand first made its debut on December 3rd. While the original PlayStation was only released in Japan in 1994 and Europe in 1995, it's still a significant milestone for Sony.

To mark this special occasion, Sony has already released some anniversary items, such as the popular Astro Bot game. But now, they're pulling out all the stops with their latest announcement – a range of consoles and controllers painted in a sleek grey color to honor the original PlayStation.

This limited edition collection includes the PS5 Pro, the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, the PlayStation Portal, and the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers. Each item boasts the iconic two-tone grey color scheme and the colorful PlayStation logo that we all remember from the early days.

However, these items will only be available in limited quantities, with the PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle having the smallest production run of just 12,300 units worldwide.

If you're looking to get your hands on one of these special edition items, pre-orders will start on September 26th on direct.playstation.com. As for the pricing, it's still a mystery, but with the PS5 Pro alone costing £700, it's safe to say that these limited edition items won't come cheap.

The design of these consoles and controllers may look familiar to some of you. That's because they bear a striking resemblance to the farewell gift given to former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan earlier this year. Although, his gift was an original PlayStation 5, and he also received some personalized biscuits.

Aside from the consoles and controllers, the bundle also includes some unique collector's items, such as PlayStation cable ties, a sticker, a limited edition poster, and even a PlayStation paperclip. The PS5 Pro Limited Edition Bundle also includes these special items, but it seems that the controllers and Portal do not have any extras.

If you're excited about these limited edition items, there are a few ways to stay updated. You can sign up for email updates, leave a comment, follow Sony on Twitter, or subscribe to their newsletter. For those who want to submit letters or features, there's also a convenient "Submit Stuff" page available.

So, mark your calendars for September 26th and get ready to pre-order these special edition consoles and controllers. Who knows, they may become valuable collector's items in the future.
