Sony PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders start this week
Sony is set to launch its highly anticipated PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, with pre-orders starting on Thursday, September 26. The collection also includes the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition, which is expected to be priced over $1,000. Sony will release only 12,300 limited-edition bundles of this collection worldwide. Despite mixed reactions to Sony's $699 PS5 Pro console upgrade earlier this month, the announcement of these limited-edition bundles has led to a surge in demand.
Each unit will have unique numbers etched on it
The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Collection is not just a gaming console but also a collector's item for PlayStation fans. Each unit will have unique numbers etched on it, adding to its exclusivity. The collection will be available for purchase globally, making it a sought-after item among gamers worldwide. Retailers have reported a dramatic increase in clicks following the reveal of these special edition consoles and accessories.
Pre-order process for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Collection
In regions where a PlayStation Direct online store is available, all PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection products will be sold exclusively through Sony's own store on September 26. To purchase from the PlayStation Direct Store, buyers will need a PlayStation Network account. Once pre-orders go live, Sony will open up a queue for potential buyers to wait in line virtually.
Additional pre-order opportunities for the PS5 Pro
Sony has not yet disclosed the exact time when the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Collection bundle will go live. However, data suggests that Sony Direct typically starts its queues between 10:00am and 11:00am ET (7-8pm IST). After PlayStation Direct's exclusive pre-order window ends on October 10, pre-orders at Walmart, GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy and Target will begin.
