Sonyunveiled its stunningPlayStation 30th Anniversary collectionlast week, and has not yet revealed any of the limited-edition items' prices - but fans might know what sorts of prices to expect if one reliable leaker’s reports on the range ring true.
According to historically dependable leaker “billbil-kun” and his recent article onDealabs, the 30th Anniversary collection’s consoles and controllers will indeed likely cost more than their mainline counterparts - but not by all that much. For instance, the PlayStation 5 Slim is reportedly set to cost $499.99, which puts it just $50 above the classic model. On the other hand, the limited edition DualSense wireless controller will apparently be $79.99.
That price lines up with that of theAstro Bot Limited Edition DualSense controller- and it’s only $10 more than the standard DualSense wireless controller. Unfortunately, billbil-kun writes that he was unable to obtain any pricing information for the 30th anniversary-themedPlayStation 5 Probundle, but if the Slim provides anything to go off of then the newer console will likely cost at least $50 more than the original model does at $699.99.
There’s also no word yet on how much the collection’s DualSense Edge wireless controller or PlayStation Portal Remote Player will cost, but there isn’t long to wait until preorders open up now on September 26 anyway. Each product from the 30th Anniversary range, consoles and controllers included, will officially release on November 21. Interested fans will have to act quickly, though - there’s a"highly limited supply"of the items.

She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
