The highly anticipated 30th Anniversary Edition of PS5 might not cost you as much as you feared. While many expected these limited-edition items to break the bank, it seems Sony has taken a more accessible approach to pricing. This makes these exclusive items a potential addition to your collection without breaking your wallet.

PlayStation has deftly come up with a way to get more people on board with the PS5 Pro. The company has announced a special 30th anniversary collection for the suite of PS5 consoles and accessories that is unfortunately sick as hell.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the original PlayStation, Sony is releasing a retro-skinned edition of the PS5 in November.

Well, the 30th Anniversary PS5 Digital Edition will retail for $499.99 in the US, which is $50 more than the standard PS5 Digital Edition – a reasonable mark-up, we suppose. It’s hypothesised the UK price will be £449.

This isn't the first Sony has used the intoxicating power of nostalgia to tempt its customers to part with their hard-earned cash; a decade ago it released a 20th-anniversary variant of the PS4, again resplendent in PS1 clothing.
