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

You’re about to get one other shot when you missed Sony’s temporary pre-order window for its 30th anniversary PS5 console. The retro-themed {hardware} offered 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 harking back to the OG PlayStation, which launched in Japan in 1994. That features a modern grey shade scheme that offers the old-school Ps brand room to essentially pop.

The message (“Please test 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 out there, this might be your second (and maybe final) probability to get the cheaper of the 2 consoles. It consists of 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 will solely think about might be offered for 3 figures on eBay after the bundle arrives on November 21.
