PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle Contents

• PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
  • DualSense wireless controller
  • DualSense Edge wireless controller
  • DualSense Charging Station
  • Console cover for a disc drive (disc drive sold separately)
  • Vertical stand

The retro-styled PS5 Pro console bundle comes with a fair few accessories and collector’s items. The bundle itself includes a PS1-styled PS5 Pro console, standard DualShock Controller, DualSense Edge Controller, controller charging station, vertical stand, and a cover for the PS5 disc drive (the drive is sold separately, but you can get it here).

The PlayStation Anniversary bundle also includes some nice throwbacks and other PlayStation items. The controller cable is a standard USB-C cable, but it has a PS1-style housing on one end, which is a nice touch. There’s also some other PlayStation trinkets included, like a paperclip and cable ties adorned with PS iconography.

Sony states that only 12,300 units of this bundle will be made, so if you want to get your hands on one, you’ll definitely want to get in line to pre-order it when it’s released.

PS5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition bundle content

• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle
  • DualSense wireless controller
  • Console cover for a disc drive (disc drive sold separately)
• Original PlayStation Controller Style Cable Connector Housing
• Four PlayStation Shapes cable ties
• PlayStation sticker
• Limited Edition PlayStation Poster (1 of 30 possible designs)
• PlayStation paperclip

The PS5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary bundle includes the same elements as the Pro bundle, but with a Digital Edition standard PS5 instead of the new PS5 Pro.

PlayStation Portal Remote Player – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

This portable PS5 game streaming device doesn’t come with any accessories, but it does come in the original console’s color scheme, featuring the colorful ’90s PS logo.

DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

This is the same DualSense Edge pro-style controller that’s been around for a while, but with a PS1 style twist to give it an extra fresh look. This is a great controller, so it should come as no surprise that it ranks high on our list of the best PS5 controllers.

DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

It’s a regular DualSense PS5 controller, but in the original PlayStation colors. I like it.
