Sat Nov 23 09:20:00 UTC 2024: **PS5 30th Anniversary Collection: Limited-Edition Consoles and Accessories Sell Out Quickly on Launch Day**

**London/New York, November 21, 2024** – The highly anticipated PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary Collection launched today, with limited-edition consoles and accessories selling out almost instantly at major retailers. While PlayStation Direct had initially stocked the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition, DualSense 30th Anniversary Edition, and DualSense Edge 30th Anniversary Edition, these items quickly became unavailable. Similar rapid sell-outs were reported at other retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop throughout the day.

A live blog tracking the restock situation reported initial success at PS Direct in both the US and UK, but noted that stock disappeared within minutes of becoming available. While some intermittent availability was reported at retailers like Sam’s Club and Target in the US, and Currys in the UK, these instances were fleeting. The extremely limited PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition bundle (only 12,300 units produced) proved especially difficult to obtain, with no reported restocks outside of PS Direct.

Many fans who missed the initial pre-orders expressed frustration at the limited availability on launch day. Scalpers were also active, inflating prices on secondary markets. The live blog concluded that while there might be a few stray units remaining, the bulk of the launch day restock was likely complete by early afternoon. Retailers are urged to check back regularly with links provided by various tech news websites for any surprise restocks in the coming days.
