You’ll get one other likelihood to pre-order the retro-themed PS5 on Tuesday

You’re about to get one other shot if you happen to missed Sony’s transient pre-order window for its 30th anniversary PS5 console. The retro-themed {hardware} bought out in a flash on its preliminary September 26 pre-order interval, leaving followers fuming at Sony’s predictably frustrating order course of. An alert on Sony’s product web page (via Kotaku) says the second go-round will occur on Tuesday, October 29, at midday ET.

The limited-edition consoles and equipment have a throwback pores and skin paying homage to the OG PlayStation, which launched in Japan in 1994. That features a glossy grey coloration scheme that provides the old-school Ps brand room to actually pop.

The message (“Please examine again on October twenty ninth from 9 AM PDT”) solely seems on the thirtieth Anniversary product pages for the $500 PS5 Slim Bundle and $80 DualSense controller. Sadly, no such message seems on the throwback PS5 Pro bundle or PlayStation Portal product pages.

Assuming solely the Slim bundle is accessible, this can be your second (and maybe final) likelihood to get the cheaper of the 2 consoles. It contains the digital (no disc drive!) PS5 Slim, a typical DualSense controller (additionally themed for the event), a retro cable connector housing, PlayStation-shaped cable ties and a vertical stand. Oh, and there are some additional goodies like a sticker, poster and PlayStation paperclip, which we are able to solely think about can be bought for 3 figures on eBay after the bundle arrives on November 21.
