Pre-orders will open for Sony’s awesome 30th Anniversary PS5 hardware collection on 26th September, but we still don’t know how much the Japanese giant will be charging for any of the items on offer. Reliable leaker billbil-kun, writing for French website Dealabs, has the all-important scoop – although only on a couple of items.

Back in 2020 when Sony first revealed the PS5 to the world, many people believed that, on the performance front, it was inferior to the Xbox Series X – the current-gen flagship from its arch-rival Microsoft.

Want a PS5, but don’t want to spend $700 on a PS5 Pro? Thanks to Sony’s new refurbished website for PS5s, you’ll soon be able to buy an older version of the console for a lot less money than the PS5 Pro’s eye-watering cost.

After Sony announced in a stream the new PS5 Pro and its $700 price point, the company is also gearing up to give the rest of us a much cheaper alternative in the form of refurbished PS5s.

This isn't the first Sony has used the intoxicating power of nostalgia to tempt its customers to part with their hard-earned cash; a decade ago it released a 20th-anniversary variant of the PS4, again resplendent in PS1 clothing.

Sony is celebrating 30 years of PlayStation and the celebrations are quite elaborate. The company has recently announced the limited edition PSOne themed PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro as part of these celebrations.
