ThePS5 30th Anniversary Editionmay have had its price revealed ahead of an official announcement, thanks to a recent leak.
The report comes from notable leaker billbil-kun, viaDealabs, who states that the PS5 30th Anniversary Edition model (specifically thePS5 Slimversion of the special edition) will cost $499.99 / £449.99. That’s a clean $50 hike over the standard PS5 Slim model.
That said, the PS5 30th Anniversary Edition will not come bundled with a disc drive. It will, however, come bundled with a vertical stand, special edition faceplate, aDualSensewireless controller, a bespoke PS1-style USB-C cable, and a set of collectible stickers.
Dealabs' billbil-kun also suggests that the 30th Anniversary EditionDualSensecontroller will retail at $79.99 (around £69.99). That’s a $5 jump over the standard DualSensewhich recently saw a price increaseof its own.
With all that in mind, the price of thePS5 Pro30th Anniversary Edition remains unknown, with no word fromSonynor speculation from billbil-kun. The standard PS5 Pro will cost $699.99 / £699.99. If billbil-kun’s report is correct, then the 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 Pro will likely cost even more, potentially anywhere between $749.99 / £749.99 to $799.99 / £799.99.
The PS5 Pro’s price has been a point of contention for many, with plenty of gamers balking at the idea of spending that much on a mid-gen refresh that may not provide a wholly transformative experience and especially one that doesn’t ship with a disc drive or a vertical stand. On the other hand, many have welcomed additions like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) for better overall image quality and a 2TB SSD for significantly more storage.
