PS5 Pro pre-orders are going live today, alongside pre-orders for the PS5 30th Anniversary Collection. Ahead of this, the waiting room at PlayStation Direct has opened for those hopeful to snag any of the new hardware to get in line. And Scalpers, as always, ruined everything for everyone else.
Until October 10, the only place to buy any of these products is PlayStation Direct. Come October 10, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and other retailers will begin to take pre-orders, but until then PlayStation Direct will be the only option for those in the United States.
This special version of the PS5 Pro console and accompanying accessories feature throwback design elements and a legacy color scheme that pays homage to the original PlayStation console.
Each Limited Edition PS5 Pro console is individually numbered as a collector’s item, and only 12,300 of these numbered consoles will be available for customers to buy globally.
