PS5 Pro preorders started on September 26, 2024, including standard and 30th Anniversary Limited editions. Despite the price criticism, the consoles are selling out fast.

30th Anniversary Limited Edition: Price and Availability

Today, Sony's website revealed the price for the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition PS5 Pro. It costs $999 in the US and £959.99 in the UK, with only 12,300 units available. The special edition sold out within minutes in the UK.

The Scalper Issue

Many buyers of the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition intend to resell the consoles at higher prices. These buyers are known as scalpers, who were quick to secure the customized consoles. The new PS5 Pro has already appeared on eBay with prices reaching $10,000. This scenario is still beneficial for Sony as the consoles are being sold. An X user @RinoTheBouncer commented: "If scalpers didn’t know it’s highly demanded, they wouldn’t have wasted their money."

Gamer Interest

Not all buyers of the PS5 Pro are looking to resell it. Many gamers genuinely want to experience the new upgraded console. Although many players are frustrated with the long waiting lists, others are satisfied with their purchase. In a recent interview with GameSpot, Sony’s product manager Toshi Aoki said, "PS5 Pro is for the enthusiasts, the most engaged players." This quick sell-out seems to be a mix of scalpers and genuine gaming enthusiasts.
