30th-anniversary limited-run PS5 and PS5 Pro bring back mid-'90s gray plastic

Sony launched a similar gray PlayStation 4 in 2014 for the 20th anniversary.

The PS5 Pro version of the 30th anniversary bundle comes with both varieties of DualSense controller, a plate for an (optional) optical drive, and other accessories. The retro-inspired modern consoles will be released on November 21 and will be available for preorder starting September 26 from Sony's direct.playstation.com site. Sony says that the limited-edition PS5 Pro will be limited to 12,300 units—a reference to the December 3 launch date—but didn't mention any specific manufacturing numbers for the regular PS5, either DualSense controller design, or the PlayStation Portal.
