Sony Announces 30th Anniversary Collection with Limited Edition PlayStation 5 Consoles and More
As we continue our celebrations leading up to the 30th anniversary of the first PlayStation console launch, we have a special treat to reveal today that brings the past together with the present. Introducing our PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection to celebrate this wonderful milestone.
The new limited edition designs pay homage to 30 wonderful years of gaming, a journey made possible by the passion and support of our fans and talented game developers. Reminiscent of the very first PlayStation console to launch on December 3, 1994, this limited edition offering utilizes the original PlayStation color design and integrates it into the latest line of PS5 hardware products.
The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be sold in highly limited supply in the following options:
The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be released on November 21. There will be 12,300 units of the PlayStation 5 Pro Console - 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle available for customers to purchase, with limited edition numbers etched onto the unit. The number represents the month and date of the first PlayStation console launch.
We've had five fantastic console generations since the launch of our very first PlayStation console. We're proud of the innovations and experiences we've brought to the PlayStation community over the years as we kept up with the latest technology as it advanced. In the early days, the number of pixels was around 300-thousand, and now it is more than 8 million pixels for 4K on screen. Additionally, stereo sound evolved into surround sound - and now we are using 3D audio. The game controller has also evolved, starting with buttons, then came the analog stick and later vibration - and now we have haptics and even adaptive triggers. Everything we've done is to ensure PlayStation is the best place to play. We believe the beginning of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, which is why we are honoring this moment by bringing the original PlayStation design theme into the latest products for PS5 to commemorate the last 30 years. As we look ahead to the future, we will continue to innovate as technology evolves, so you can enjoy each memorable moment in your continued journey with PlayStation.
Please be sure to check in with us regularly on our 30th anniversary webpage as we'll have more fun celebration activities as we head towards our 30th anniversary.
We'd like to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone for being a PlayStation fan over the last 30 years. There are plenty of great experiences to come and we look forward to the next 30 and beyond!

Should I go on? Feel free to drop a random trollish comment on how this is not innovative or not real innovation but things are definitely still happening if anyone cares to look.
As long as a game is fun, it's fine if the improvements are iterative IMHO. If you look at the Zelda games, they are re-using the basic gameplay, refining it across the years. Still, each games introduce a new core mechanic (OOT time travel, WW sea, TP wolf form etc...) along with new items that weren't present in the past but provided new ways to interact with the world.
Animal crossing new horizons( I love me some Animal Crossing)
Super Mario 6..I mean Sun..I mean Gala..DAMMIT I mean Super Mario Odyssey
bayonetta 3(the only good one out of this to be honest)
f-zero 99(that's not an acutal game more of a BG kind of game so that doesn't count LMAO)
fire emblem three houses(Mid)
fire emblem warriors(Nintendo 3DS game, doesn't count)
hyrule warriors(Nintendo Wii U Title that was RE-RELEASE)
zelda TOTK( Meh would look better on a Steam Deck or the ROG ALLY)
zelda BOTW((Nintendo Wii U Title that was RE-RELEASE)
mario + rabbids kingdom 1+2(This was CO-DEVELOPED by Ubisoft not NINTENDO so wouldn't even count that since Nintendo doesn't own Ubisoft AND Ubisoft Published the game)
Animal crossing new horizons
Super Mario Odyssey
bayonetta 3
fire emblem three houses
zelda TOTK
5 NEW GAMES within 7 YEARS within the Nintendo Switch? Yeah please bring more games to see your point because I don't see it at all LMAO
PlayStation Exclusives:
GT7
Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart
God of War Ragnarok
Spider-Man 2
Astro Bot
Astro Play Room
Destructive All-Stars
..Concord(BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
FF7 Rebirth and at the time Remake
Forspoken
Returnal
Stellar Blade
Stray
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Horizon Forbidden West
Ghostwire: Tokyo(YES)
Final Fantasy XIV Online
So many more I can name and these are not re-released games(LIKE NINTENDO) from previous consoles(FF7 could be but so much has changed it's not the same as the OG game rather A CONTINUATION OF THE GAME) if we include them then it would well over a 100 games (and way more than the Nintendo Switch)
Nintendo fanboys and console players in general are delusional, it's hilarious :roll::roll::roll:For the first 6 years of the Nintendo Switch's life were nothing but re-released from the Wii and Wii U Saga and no one bat a damn eye and was sooo impress that the Nintendo Switch can play PS3 AND XBOX 360 ERA GAMES but now Sony is somewhat re-releasing PS4 games and they have no games ALL OF A SUDDEN? WHERE was this energy at when the Nintendo Switch became a thing. The hypocrisy is strong in the console community
PS5 just give me the future-corpo-dystopian vibes.
I Installed an SSD to a PS5 some days ago and holy moly: those where crappy plastics.
I was Team SNES, but there's a twist! I was actually a double agent, owning both an SNES and a Genesis (as well as the Sega CD and 32X) AHA! :pimp: I liked the Genesis mostly for Sonic as well as more obscure titles like Dynamite Heddy and Vectorman and Comix Zone, and SNES for Mario, Zelda, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Earthworm Jim, the Super Star Wars games and many others.
The PS4 sold 117 million consoles. That a lot more people to notice and be pissed off about remasters of PS4 games coming to PS5. Especially when those PS4 games already run natively on the PS5. If anything they should be remastering PS3 games that cannot be played natively on PS5. People forked over $500, more if they were dumb enough buy from scalpers, and have little to show for it.
