Pre-orders will open for Sony’s awesome 30th Anniversary PS5 hardware collection on 26th September, but we still don’t know how much the Japanese giant will be charging for any of the items on offer. Reliable leaker billbil-kun, writing for French website Dealabs, has the all-important scoop – although only on a couple of items.
So, what are the details? Well, the 30th Anniversary PS5 Digital Edition will retail for $499.99 in the US, which is $50 more than the standard PS5 Digital Edition – a reasonable mark-up, we suppose. It’s hypothesised the UK price will be £449.99, but it’s important to note that this is guesswork on the part of billbil-kun.

Meanwhile, the 30th Anniversary DualSense controller will retail for $79.99, which is consistent with other fancy coloured editions of the pad. Sony recently increased the price of this accessory, with the standard white DualSense now costing $74.99 and the more premium options costing $79.99. At least the 30th Anniversary branding isn’t adding a premium on top.
We’re still waiting for information on the DualSense Edge and PS Portal, as well as the PS5 Pro bundle, which is expected to top $1,000. For those who didn’t see the news last week, the aforementioned package comes with a PS5 Pro, DualSense Edge, DualSense, Charging Station, and Vertical Stand – all in 30th Anniversary colours. It’ll be limited to just 12,300 units.
So a little additional information to help with your pre-order planning. The prices generally look fine to us – obviously all PS5 hardware is pretty expensive, but given the demand is likely to be high for these collector’s items, we’re glad Sony appears to have resisted the temptation to push the MSRPs even higher.
