For any keen fans who missed out on the 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 are in luck, because the special 30th Anniversary PS5 Digital Edition Console, 30th Anniversary DualSense Wireless Controller, and 30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal have been announced for a limited restock, at PS Direct, launching on September 29.
Revealed in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, preorders for all three items will be made available first to PlayStation Plus members on July 21 at 10AM BST. For non-PS Plus members, preorders for this 30th Anniversary console and accessory trio will be open to the general public on July 23 at 10AM BST.

Although the 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Console, the most valuable item of the whole range, since only 12300 units were made globally, is sadly not included in this restock. The same goes for the 30th Anniversary DualSense Edge Wireless Controller.
Shared by Wario64, the main PlayStation social accounts previously shared posts about a US 30th anniversary restock as well, but these only seem to be for the range’s DualSense Wireless Controller.
Whether this difference is down to logistics or resources available in each territory remains to be seen, but this makes the UK’s new batch of 30th Anniversary PS5s quite valuable.
For those in the UK wanting to get one, the digital 30th Anniversary PS5 also comes with a swappable disc drive cover if you’d still like to play physical games on it, but you will need to purchase the disc drive itself separately.

The PS5 disc drive isn’t always in stock, currently sold out at Amazon UK, but is available to buy right now at PS Direct and other retailers like Argos and Currys.
PlayStation UK has made sure to iterate that the quantities of the 30th Anniversary PS5, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal will be “highly limited”.
This likely means that, unless PlayStation have allocated a certain number of units to the ‘PS Plus member’ and ‘all players’ preorder windows, stock will run out before it can get to the latter.
