The PS5 30th Anniversary Edition console is making waves during this Black Friday 2024 season. Sony’s limited edition console has proven itself to be both popular and elusive. Fans are often found scrambling to secure their units before they sell out. However, PS5 is reportedly set to get restocked across multiple retailers this holiday season.
The 30th Anniversary PS5 features a retro-inspired design, paying homage to earlier editions of PlayStation consoles accompanied by matching accessories. Only 12,300 units of it were produced and the demand has far outstripped the supply.
Restock of PS5 30th Edition
PlayStation 5 was launched in November 2020. Since then, it has been a trendsetter in the gaming industry. PlayStation 5 features ultra-fast SSD storage, ray tracing, and immersive 3D audio. The 30th Anniversary edition celebrates three decades of its journey.
Below is what the brand had to say about its PlayStation®5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle:
"Feel incredible gaming possibilities that go beyond the extraordinary and celebrate PlayStation’s legacy with this special version of PS5® Digital Edition console that includes a limited edition DualSense wireless controller."
The bundle includes the below-listed items:
- Limited edition PS5® Digital Edition console
- Limited edition DualSense wireless controller
- Limited edition console cover for disc drive
- Limited edition vertical stand
- Original PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing
- 4 PlayStation shapes cable ties
- PlayStation sticker
- Limited edition PlayStation poster (one of 30 possible designs)
- PlayStation paperclip
Black Friday 2024 is an unmissable opportunity to snag this beloved console. The official Sony PlayStation Direct store and Walmart are likely to launch the restocks. Other than these stores, Best Buy has confirmed that its Best Buy Drops app will feature the PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary Edition on December 2, 2024.
Sony’s PlayStation Direct store's restock timings are expected to align with the timings of previous drops' at 3 p.m. or 9 p.m. ET. Walmart might opt for a late evening release of the restocks, and shoppers are advised to set up PlayStation Network accounts in advance. However, a PS Plus membership is not necessary to purchase the restock edition.
Tips for Securing Your PS5!
It is anticipated that the restock unit counts will not be very high, just like its initial release. With this, the demand will stay super high. If you want to secure a PlayStation 5, you will need to act fast. Closely monitor the drop timing on multiple retailer outlets using multiple devices.
Retailers like Best Buy and Sam’s Club often release stock at specific times, such as 11 a.m. ET for Best Buy and as early as 1 a.m. ET for Sam’s Club. Also, ensure you have accounts set up with these retailers and payment details saved for faster checkout.
May you get to get your hands on PlayStation 5!
