The first PlayStation console launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, making it 30 years old in just over two months. The UK had to wait until September 1995 for the PlayStation 1 to arrive. Pre-orders for the standard PS5 Pro and 30th Anniversary DualSense controllers are also available at various retailers.
In the UK, Amazon initially had stock but sold out within 45 minutes, while other retailers like Very, Currys, Argos, and Game are preparing their inventory. In the US, pre-orders are expected to follow soon at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to release on November 7, 2024, just in time for the holidays.
The instant sellout of the 30th Anniversary Edition demonstrates the ongoing popularity and demand for Sony’s iconic gaming consoles, especially when tied to significant milestones and limited-run collectibles.
