Sony will launch the PlayStation 30th anniversary consoles and controller on November 21, 2024, with just 12,300 PS5 Pro bundles up for grabs, each with a limited-edition number engraved on the plastic that represent the day and month the first PlayStation console launched. Sony didn’t say how many base PS5 bundles, DualSense controllers, or PlayStation Portal units will be available.

Here’s what you get in each bundle. Bear in mind that the standard PS5 is the digital-only console, since Sony stopped selling PS5 units with disc drives.
