You’ll get another chance to pre-order the retro-themed PS5 today

You’re about to get another shot if you missed Sony’s brief pre-order window 30th anniversary PS5 console. The retro-themed hardware quickly sold out during the first pre-order period on September 26, leaving fans reeling from Sony’s predictably frustrating ordering process. A warning on Sony’s product page (via Kotaku) says the second round will take place on Tuesday, October 29 at noon ET.

The limited consoles and accessories have a throwback skin reminiscent of the OG PlayStation, which launched in Japan in 1994. It includes a sleek gray color scheme that gives the old Playstation logo room to really pop.

The notice (“Please come back on October 29th starting at 9am PDT”) only appears on the 30th Anniversary product pages for $500 PS5 Slim Bundle and $80 DualSense controller. Unfortunately, no such message is displayed on throwback PS5 Pro Bundle or PlayStation Portal product pages.

Assuming only the Slim bundle is available, this will be your second (and perhaps last) chance to get the cheaper of the two consoles. It includes the digital (no disc drive!) PS5 Slim, a standard DualSense controller (also themed for the occasion), a retro cable connector housing, PlayStation-shaped cable ties and a vertical stand. Oh, and there are some extra goodies like a sticker, poster and PlayStation paper clip that we can only imagine will sell for three figures on eBay after the package arrives on November 21st.
