PlayStation announced that it’d be celebrating its 30th anniversary with a retro PS1 inspired version of almost its entire currently product line-up including the upcoming PS5 Pro.
At the end of the video introducing all the products, the company teased the boxes which would contain a nice surprise, and quickly after the video wrapped up, the boxes appeared online confirming that they do take each console to the next level.

For each of the PS5 Digital console, PlayStation Portal and DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, PlayStation has created a special black/grey box that is almost an identical replica of the original PlayStation box.
For the PS5 Pro bundle which is super limited with its 12,300 units, it’s a special whited out box that we’d assume either contains some of the other boxes inside, or at least the products laid out in a way that pays tribute to the OG console.
If I’m honest, as nice as the bundle is, the box does look a little strange next to the others and doesn’t scream PlayStation 1 but I’m happy to be proven wrong.
Pre-orders for the PlayStation 30th anniversary collection will go live on September 26th with collection releasing on November 21st.
