PlayStation Users Can Pay $10,000 For Someone to "Attempt to Buy" PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition

As a hardcore gaming enthusiast who has been following Sony’s footsteps since the days of the original PlayStation, I must say that this 30th Anniversary Collection is nothing short of nostalgic bliss. The limited-edition PS5 Pro Console is a piece of art that harks back to the good old days, and I can’t help but feel a pang of excitement at the prospect of adding it to my collection.


Hey there! Last week, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, a special edition line-up comprising exclusive, limited-run PS5 consoles and accessories that draw inspiration from the design of our beloved original PlayStation, or the PS1. The pièce de résistance in this collection is none other than the PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle, sporting a sleek PS1-inspired look. Mark your calendars for November 21st, as only a lucky 12,300 gamers will get their hands on this beauty!

It appears that Sony hasn’t publicly disclosed the price for the exclusive PS5 Pro or any other items in the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection yet. Over the weekend, some prices for certain products from this collection were leaked, but the PS5 Pro bundle was not among them. Given its limited production of only 12,300 units and the likelihood that some will be given away to media and influencers, it’s going to be quite challenging to purchase this special edition PS5 Pro due to its scarcity.

Given the high anticipation for the standard PS5 Pro, enthusiasts reminiscing about PlayStation’s past, and scalpers, it’s likely that the limited-edition PS5 Pro will be snapped up in a flash, perhaps even within a minute. This speedy sale could lead to server breakdowns, website malfunctions, and a multitude of frustrated PlayStation enthusiasts. Interestingly, one eBay user has seized this opportunity by listing an offer to “attempt to purchase” one of these consoles. However, it’s important to note that this service comes without any guarantees, and for the privilege, you would need to pay a substantial $10,000.

The listing got removed swiftly, possibly because of eBay’s stringent rules against early sales. This rapid disappearance might be a hint of tough times to come, where resellers snap up supplies and inflate prices in the secondary market. It’s uncertain if the markup will reach $10,000, but we wouldn’t be shocked if it’s at least five times the original price. Initially, even the standard PS5 was selling for twice its original price in the secondary market and was extremely scarce.
