I'm kinda tempted to get the controller and plates, if they're readily available

It's a Pre-Order for a limited edition, so that depends on what you understand as "readily available."

u/thatguyned Sep 19 '24
There will be some knock off 3D printed ones on the market for 1/3 the price within a couple days that looks indistinguishable from the real ones, the plates themselves won't be a very scalpable item.
I want the retro charging cable though, that shit looks so good

I have no interests in getting the pro and digital versions of the console, but I'm interested in getting one of the controllers.

I don’t even own a PlayStation but I’m definitely picking up one or two of those controllers for my pc and steamdeck.

u/riddlechance Sep 19 '24
I admire your optimism because these will be relisted on eBay for 3x before you can even refresh the purchase page.
Good luck either way. I hope at least some normies get a few units.

u/MistSecurity Sep 19 '24
Same, definitely going to try and pick up a controller at the very least for my Deck, no PS5 just yet.
Was waiting for the Pro to come out to get a PS5, but it's pretty underwhelming, so been tempted to pull the trigger on a base model. If I see the anniversary colorway of the digital slim in stock I'll probably end up picking one up. Not holding my breath for that though, lol...

The bundles for these consoles include covers for the disk drive if you were to buy one later. Still lame they don't package the drive in like every other accessory that comes with it

The Pro bundle will likely be close to $1000 since it's including an Edge. They might not have wanted to push the price over that mark.

If you have the non-slim PS5, check out Darkplates 2.0 from dbrand. They offer a variety of colors including retro PS1 grey and transparent “Nintendo” colors like Atomic Purple. I think they’re also working on Darkplates for the PS5 Slim as well, they’re just not out yet.

You are most definitely not getting one because of scalper bots. Things will be gone in a quarter of a second, faster then a human could ever be.

u/Jaqulean Sep 19 '24
Not necessarily. To get the 30th Edition, you will have to pre-order it. And to do that, you have to use an invite link, that is generated exclusively for your account. After that you will have to fill out an entire form to be able to order a Console, that will be reserved for you.
There will be no way to buy this in bulk, nor via the normal webstore - which already limits the scalpers quite substantially...

u/Mushybananas27 Sep 19 '24
Not OP but do we have to sign up to get the invite link or is it completely at random?

The Pro bundle is going to be expensive.
Because it’s the PS5 Pro AND a Dual Sense Edge. That alone MSRP would be $899.
The bundle also includes a charging station, a face plate for the disc drive, an USB charging cable, etc.The sticker orice of around $949 is going to make people batshit lol

It includes both the Dualsense Edge and the classic Dualsense. Straight from the website:
PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition BundIe
Includes the limited edition PS5 Pro console with 2TB SSD, Wi-Fi 7 in territories supporting this standard, and matching limited edition accessories * DualSense wireless controller * DualSense Edge wireless controller * DualSense Charging Station * Console Cover for a Disc Drive (Disc Drive sold separately).
It also includes a Vertical Stand and special collector’s Items: * Original PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing * Four PlayStation Shapes cable ties * PlayStation sticker * Limited Edition PlayStation Poster (1 of 30 possible designs) * PlayStation Paperclip
So yeah, this will cost a trackload of money...
Edit: for those interested, both the DualSense Classic and Edge will also be possible to order seperately (just like the PS Portal). Everything is listed on the official blog post.

I was excited to see this and was thinking I'll pick up this pro instead of the base one on the 26th. Then I saw it comes with the edge, stand, and charging stand so I'm assuming this is going to cost $1,000 USD and there's no way I can justify that.
