US DualSense and PS5 Slim potential restock on October 29
PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orders made a brief comeback on October 10 with non-PlayStation Direct retailers getting involved, but the situation has, since that day, become rather familiar - we have only seen flashes of stock ofsomeof the products.
However,we do know that today (October 29) brings a PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary restock and 30th Anniversary DualSense restock at PS Direct! Both listing pages have been updated to state that fans should come back “Please check back on October 29th from 9 AM PDT.”
Elsewhere and more generally, when the second round of regularPS5 Pro pre-ordersgot underway with non-Sonyretailers offeringPS5 Slim 30th Anniversary pre-orders, we largely witnessed the limited edition models sell out as quickly as they came. The same was true ofPS5 30th Anniversary Dualsense controller pre-orderswith both the US and UK cleaning house across all major outlets in a matter of minutes.
We still think all the below pages are well worth keeping an eye on around launch day and beyond. It’ll also pay to be aware ofwhere to buy a PS5 disc drivegiven the popularity of that accessory in recent weeks. As a reminder, the 30th Anniversary Collection products officially launch onNovember 21, and they feature a brilliant retro gray color scheme - channeling PS1-style aesthetics.

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders: FAQs
How much do the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection items cost?
The 30th Anniversary Edition products all came in slightly more expensive than their standard version counterparts. While most have now sold out completely, we’ve included their prices below if you still need a frame of reference.
When did PlayStation 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders go live?
PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orders started on September 26. This was live at PlayStation Direct and for included the PS5 Pro bundle, PS5 Slim, DualSense, DualSense Edge, and PlayStation Portal items.
On October 10, the PS5 Slim bundle should be available to pre-order directly from PS Direct as well as participating retailers. A start time of 7am PT in the US has been mooted by Walmart’s listing page, but we are yet to hear any confirmation of that.
How many products are available?
In terms of different products available in the collection, there are five in total: the PS5 Pro (bundle), the PS5 Slim (bundle), a PlayStation Portal, a DualSense wireless controller, and a DualSense Edge wireless controller. These are all sold out right now, but October 10 brings another chance to get the PS5 Slim bundle, and hopefully more…
In terms of the actual numbers of each product, we only know so much. In short, Sony had said that there would only be 12,300 PS5 Pro bundles available which is the only definitive number we received.
PlayStation 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders: what if I missed out?
Don’t worry if you weren’t able to get an item from the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection; across all products stock was extremely limited. The bad news here is that stock is highly unlikely to come back for the DualSense Edge, PlayStation Portal and PS5 Pro bundle given they were exclusive to PlayStation Direct.
There is some good news, though; Sony did have stock for the PS5 Slim and standard DualSense products at other retailers. As a result, there’s every chance we could see flash restocks or even more stock appearing on launch day: November 21. We’d recommend keeping this page bookmarked as we’ll be updating if and when stock comes and goes.
Finally, if you’re not overly fussed about the 30th anniversary aesthetic,PlayStation Direct US,Amazon US,PlayStation Direct UK,Amazon UKandEEall have PS5 Slim models discounted until October 15.
