Sony has announced the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection that dresses up the PS5 console, PS5 Pro, DualSense, DualSense Edge and even the PlayStation Portal in the classic grey color scheme of the original PlayStation that was released way back in 1994.

These are gorgeous items that will be sold in “highly limited supplies” which means, yep, these things will be snatched up by scalpers that will then try and sell these bad boys for 2-4x the selling price.
