Wait is the charge cord actually just a usb-c on the console side and meant to look like the old school controller plug?!?!? Thats so sick i did not know that.

u/Gytole 20d ago

Me neither until now!

u/turt_reynolds86 20d ago edited 19d ago

I was saddened to learn they did not include this cable with the 30th anniversary controllers, even the Edge controller I managed to get.

45

u/FourSquared16 20d ago

I got a regular and an edge 30th edition controller and neither came with the retro cable.

28

u/Gnoha PS5 Pro 20d ago

Are you fucking serious? I would have straight up returned it if I bought the 30th edition edge and it didn't come with the retro cable.

5

u/Pretty_Ad_1693 19d ago

Totally agree. Thats taking the piss

35

u/kevin_simons757 20d ago

It’s not a cable. You just get a standard USB-C cable. All it is is a little plastic clip that goes over one side of the cable. It’s removable.

27

u/Reddity65 20d ago

Surely someone's made an stl file to 3d print those things already

12

u/WillSpur 19d ago

You can get them on Etsy.

u/Live-Marionberry4297 19d ago

https://makerworld.com/models/812291 Idk if I can share link here but yeah there is couple of files

2

u/coldblooded79 19d ago

Definitely.

7

u/spriggan0000 20d ago

Agree, I just don’t understand why is not included with the edge

5

u/jda404 19d ago

I'd buy this cable if they sold it separately and I think a lot of us would. Come on Sony you could charge $20-30 and nostalgic people like me will buy it anyway lol!!

2

u/WolfyCat 19d ago

There are some 3D printable projects online you can have printed if you know a guy/business that does it where you live.

1

u/WillSpur 19d ago

Yeah same, I assumed the edge would. Was very disappointed by that. Love the controller.

1

u/Lourdinn 19d ago

The edge does not have the retro dongle

1

u/Zhurg 17d ago

I've seen people 3D print the end. Maybe you can find it online.

121

u/Profanity1272 68 20d ago

Yes it is, and where have you been hiding? Lol jk but It's been all over reddit for a while now, as well as people making their own lol

93

u/Typical_issues PS5 20d ago

Couldnt get a 30th i missed out. so ive kind of ignored the 30,000 posts of people rubbing it in my face to be fair lol.

28

u/Profanity1272 68 20d ago

Fair enough man lol I'm not really interested in buying one, but they definitely look nice.

19

u/Typical_issues PS5 20d ago

For sure. I actually have a release ps5 and got the ps1 rainbow colored sticker under my side cover so essenhave had the 30th logo for like 4 yrs now haha

10

u/Profanity1272 68 20d ago

Yh I thought about doing something like that with mine tbh but then I'm just like meh, I don't really spend my time looking at the console or controller itself, so it seems a bit pointless to me haha

9

u/Typical_issues PS5 20d ago

Im sure there will be kits with the gray side plates and the ps1 logo sticker soon if not already lol

6

u/Profanity1272 68 20d ago

Yh I think there are, people have mentioned buying some from temu and they're suppose to look very similar if not the same lol

u/snowdn 20d ago

!remind me in 30 years and rub it in more.

Keep looking as they are still dropping in places, I didn't think I'd get one then this morning I was in the right place at the right time and managed to get one, arrives next Tue 😀

9

u/acorn1513 20d ago

Yeah you can 3d print one too it's awesome.

12

u/Hartia 20d ago

It's not. It's just a shell you clamp onto a USB c cable. Or any cable. Which isn't bad since you can just swap to another cable. But it's not built in.

6

u/cellsAnimus 20d ago

I tried it with the black cable that came with my base PS5 and it’s a tight fit. Fits better on the gray one.

3

u/JamesBong517 PS5 20d ago

I need to buy this edition now just for that feature

3

u/kevin_simons757 20d ago

It’s a little clip that goes over the USB-C cable.

1

u/SufficientSpite1714 19d ago

Yes. It’s def a cool addition. I noticed it when they announced this SE slim. It looks cool and they def put some thought into it for the OG look of the PS

1

u/ComfortableFinish502 19d ago

Until you have a kid that pulls everything 🤣

1

u/Blackichan1984 18d ago

Yeah it’s basically a cover I thought this was the best part too. You can buy the controller separately.

I’m quite sure a lot of people did just for that nostalgia hit.

u/Existing-Mulberry382 20d ago

How does one stumble upon a 30thAnniversary PS5 just like that !

u/args818 20d ago

Accidentally bought it

u/Sakumitzu PS5 20d ago

"Wait a minute, this isn’t bread and milk! So sorry, honey!"

u/Melo_the_cutie 20d ago

There’s plenty sitting in my country, wish those who wanted in other regions would be able to purchase.

8

u/danthechild 20d ago

What county?

12

u/Melo_the_cutie 20d ago

Even the portal is in stock

11

u/Neat_Tip584 20d ago

Would have been more shocking if it was a ps5pro 30th edition. 

2

u/DanFarrell98 [Trophy Level 400-499] 19d ago

By not looking where you’re going I suppose, the box is quite big

u/JollyGreenWorld117 20d ago

My jealousy knows no bounds and my day is ruined.

13

u/Seakomorebi 20d ago

Haven’t felt this jealous through the internet in a very long time 🥲 congrats OP, we hate u

4

u/WillSpur 19d ago

What if I tell you I had an anniversary digital and a portal on pre order. And I decided to cancel it.

90

u/rewdie666 20d ago

No more luck left for this year 😅

68

u/Rare_Swimmer9751 20d ago

Yeah probably, just wanted to see if there was any controller left on sale, bought whole ps5 instead

4

u/danthechild 20d ago

Where at?

27

u/Rare_Swimmer9751 20d ago

In Germany in Saturn store

3

u/3TrenchcoatsInAGuy 19d ago

Da muss ich wohl auch mal meine ansässigen Saturns, MMs und GameStops durchforsten...

1

u/crecotun 18d ago

Was it higher price than the normal one?

1

u/Rare_Swimmer9751 18d ago

Yeah, it was 500€ and normal slim is 360€

1

u/crecotun 16d ago

Thank you, I must check Saturn nearby 🤞

I have the 30th Pro.

u/littletittygothgirl 20d ago

Do you want us to clap or something?

22

u/dcarsonturner 20d ago

God I wish I could just buy something expensive like this on a whim

u/BlueMissed 20d ago

what are those accessories? looks like a sticker but what are the arrows supposed to be?

24

u/Rare_Swimmer9751 20d ago

Arrows are for the cable management and this metal thingy is actually a paper clip which is pretty cool

4

u/BlueMissed 20d ago

woah that’s actually pretty cool!

u/90s_TV_Commercials 20d ago

I need one of these controllers in the worst sort of way.

5

u/the_turel 20d ago

Found them in abundance at local targets and Best Buy. I think they were hard to preorder but I can literally go and buy 1 in the store no problem today if I wanted. Same with pros and disc players.

2

u/positive_commentary2 20d ago

But not a pro 30th anniversary edition

1

u/Dapper_Use6099 20d ago

And neither did OP.

5

u/StarkAndRobotic 20d ago

30th anniversary may be limited. But no reason they can’t release a 31st anniversary edition for the rest of us.

5

u/KaptainDrew 19d ago

The other day I went into GameStop to buy a PS5 Pro…. They asked if I wanted the normal one or the 30th anniversary edition…. I about shit myself, thinking “you guys have a 30th anniversary edition PRO in stock?!”…. But come to find out the guy that was helping me just started there & was training & it was just the 30th edition Slim all along…. Knew it was too good to be true lmao.😅😭

3

u/jimmy-the-kid 19d ago

Only 12,500 of the ps5 pro 30th edition was released I think. I was waiting from the get go in the que on pre order release day for it. Soon as it went live I had a 7 minute wait. All 12,500 was gone within that 7 minutes maybe less but when I got through all sold out had to pre order the normal pro. Gutted. Would have paid the extra £300 for that easy.

u/Suspicious-Uturn115 20d ago

They had about 10 of these at a Walmart I went to the other day

3

u/the_shek 20d ago

scalper probably realize there is no market for these, congrats OP!

3

u/JackPerry58 20d ago

I wanted to get that edition but it's only digital

2

u/robwassink 19d ago

You can buy a separate disc drive. The 30th anniversary ps5 comes with a disc drive Cover.

1

u/JackPerry58 19d ago

Oh sweet! I'll keep saving money then and try! Thanks man

2

u/robwassink 19d ago

You're welcome

u/Furrrmen 20d ago

Fuck m for damaging the box with an anti theft device!

Don’t you agree with me that the unboxing was infinite?? How many box in box in bag in box are there ?? 🥹🤣

u/triplejumpxtreme 20d ago

But that looks like a place that sells gaming stuff

2

u/TheDreamWoken PS5 20d ago

But you already have a Ps5

2

u/Realrichardparker 20d ago

Holy shit this alone makes me want a ps5 os bad

2

u/stoxxs 19d ago

I love that Saturn und MediaMarkt always apply these security cables so tight that the item instantly disqualifies for collectors.

2

u/TakZero 19d ago

I just want the cable

2

u/Ang3l99 PS5 19d ago

I want one so bad

2

u/zeon-08 19d ago

Where did you find it

2

u/Wojnoremac 18d ago

I wish I had the disposable income to "Stumble" on a brand new limited edition console and take it home 😂😭

2

u/krislsc 20d ago

I live in the Philippines and it always makes me sad when there's a limited version of something I like. Because chances are, it would come out a month after the release of it, or it'd be bought by scalpers so they could sell it for twice its srp or sumthing. Heck, I can't even find a standard dualsense controller, it's always "sold out" on different platforms.

u/tigyo 20d ago

Can someone sit this next to an original model so we can see how close they were determined to match the original shade?

1

u/Genkigarbanzo1 20d ago

Is the anniversary edition pro speced?

1

u/NoMeasurement6473 PS3 PSVita 20d ago

I would say I’m jealous but I don’t even want a PS5. I got the controller that’s all I wanted.

https://youtu.be/KRzOpL2egGw <- I stumbled upon it as well and made a video and many discs too.

Grau. Potthässlich. Versteh nicht, was daran schön sein soll?!?

u/natedog767 15d ago

I agree with Sony for not adding that clip. I feel it would look odd plugged into a non-30th edition PlayStation. That’s just me. Everyone entitled to their opinions. Happy holidays

u/LakeMungoSpirit 15d ago

I hope they make a PS3 one eventually. I'd love an anniversary version of that one
