Today Sony Computer Entertainment announced the PS4 Anniversary Edition, a lovely PlayStation 4 unit coming in the glorious colors of the original PlayStation.

The house of PlayStation just sent in a press release including 43 full resolution pictures of the console seen from every possible angle. You also get to see the dedicated DualShock 4 controller, the stand, the camera, the headset and the sleek special package.

[DEEBO]

Simply amazing!

Long live the PlayStation brand.

[darthv72]

It is cool. I am a proud owner of an SCPH-1001 and this would look stunning next to it.

[freshslicepizza]

i still have mine and it works too. this ps4 model will be selling on e-bay for likely upwards of $1000 since they are only making about 13,000 of them.

[AliTheSnake1]

It looks likes a PS1. Pretty nice.
Still way better than a White playstation. I still don't understand the appeal for white console, they are ugly.

[AndrewLB]

Only an idiot would pay $1k for a gray PS4.

[Snookies12]

@AliTheSnake1 - Man, the white PS4 makes me NOT want to buy a black one. Seeing my friend's up close and personal. That thing is beautiful.

[Cream]

So are you guys saying that people who like PS will buy and support product regardless of any meaningful improvements?

[Svinya]

So... Basically... A grey ps4?

Am I missing the "simply amazing" part?

[crashbash]

Yeah I'm not sure what exactly is glorious about it, it's a PS4 in a grey colour. I wouldn't describe it as 'glorious', but then I'm not trying to make a living out of people clicking on my lame articles.

EDIT:@cannon8800

I'm 38, and a grey ps4 is still a grey ps4. I had a ps1, it was great, but the colour of the console didn't make a difference to the experience. It was a great console, the colour was irrelevant.

Grey is not really that glorious, it's grey.

A console needs to earn the right to be glorious and at the moment the ps4 isn't, in sales sure, but not game wise. And certainly not as glorious as its grey ancestor.

So until that magical mystical time it's just a grey ps4.

[cannon8800]

@ Svinya

May I ask how old you are? Because if you're a youngster, I can understand why this might have no sentimental value to you.

[DarthJay]

I think it's really cool. A collectible thing. I understand why Playstation fans would be excited about it. I barely use my PS4 as it is but I'll definitely be trying to get one.

But yeah, at the end of the day... it's a grey PS4. I still want it though lol.

[tlougotg]

I see your a big hater lol from the other post. Go stay on the green side and since i couldnt respond to your dumb post because your salty i said Sony owners have had limbo for quite some time and thats what Microsoft gives its devoted clientele heres a response.....Sony has given us a gd amount of free things as owners, what microsoft gives is a joke

Weve got tons of better games off of Plus as it is including limbo lol As ps owners we also received 20 free dollars twice during our ownership of Ps4 lol do your homework man you sound real dumb. First 20 dollars i got was an email code to spend on psn witout even having to buy anything. Yeah man its better on the Sony side, meanwhile games for gold is utter trash and as devoted owners you get limbo and free avatars once in awhile lol hahahhaa

[uth11]

yeah, it would be more special if it was in a custom case that resembled the PS1

[Edito]

How old are you? Have u ever heard of PSOne?

[GamerGT]

Noobs....

[killacal13]

I think you are missin an amazing part of the brain.

[shadyiswin]

It's n4g.....everything playstation is glorious and amazing get with it.

[GrandpaSnake]

its not just grey, it has a emblem, the controller is also a custom paintjob with playstation symbols on the touch and the camera is also custom grey.This is the official AE playstation, its amazing all the other ps4 are cool but not AE.

[Juangie3]

Simple! Nostalgia.

[Svinya]

Cannon - 30. I never had a ps1, though. Always an N64 guy.

I'm looking to buy a PS4 as soon as DriveClub is 100%.

[xHeavYx]

@crashbash
"but then I'm not trying to make a living out of people clicking on my lame articles"
Lol

[Bathyj]

Why do 80 year olds get a tear in the eye when they see a stick and a hoop? Its just a hoop?

I guess you had to be there.

[its_JEFF]

@Svinya Well... it is just a "grey ps4," what matters is the "nostalgia" attached to it. As someone who had a N64, I'm guessing you were a Nintendo guy? If you were and still are, then you should already know why people want this. Same reason why people went crazy for the re-release of the GameCube controller, same reason why people are going crazy for the 3DS with the NES graphics on the outside... Nostalgia.

It's understandable why you're not excited for this, cause you never had a PS1... it's like someone coming into a article about the NES/SNES/N64 or GameCube themed WiiU console or Controller and asking "what's the big deals, just looks like an old console"

[ShinMaster]

If you were never a fan of the PS1 we don't expect you to care much about "just a grey PS4" with the multicolored PS logo.

[ChrisGTR1]

lol guys , i used to own an original ps1 and i always thought the black dev kit was way more badass. id say the color doesnt matter much its just the fact that its "rare". if the only color for ps4 was gray and then a limited edition black one came out everyone would be drooling over it.

[spacedelete]

i know right. what about PS1 and PS2 emulation ? even if it was just for these limited edition PS4s i would buy one now.

[Azzanation]

I agree, I still own my original PS1 and I keep it nicely packed in its box now, but a Grey PS4 is suppose to be glorious? lol ok so grey is the new Black now.. *sigh*

[mmcglasson]

@crashbash

Dude the system has been out slightly over a year and already has tons of games to play. Exclusives of AAA quality take time to create... You are speaking far to early.

[Muzikguy]

This is so cool, I wish I had the money to get one! Or even a chance to get it. It's too bad people will be buying them up like crazy just to sell at a higher price on eBay. That's the sad part of the world we live in. At least I can download that theme for free!! Just have to get home to check it out

[solid_snake3656]

It would have been amazing if it were fully backwards compatible. Now that would have been one hell an anniversary edition.

[FullmetalAlchemist]

Is this seriously only going to be available at the playstation event? I obviously can't make it to that but would definitely buy this in a heart beat, I have yet to get a ps4. C'mon Sony mass produce these!

[ThatOneGuyThere]

you can buy it on sony.com starting at midnight

[lunatic0001]

This is stupid question to ask but is it at midnight pacific or eastern???

[DarthJay]

Not a dumb question... I'd like to know the same. I'll be waiting with credit card in hand.

Edit: Actually, it's not midniht at all:

"How to pre-order in the US & Canada: PS4 20th Anniversary Edition will be available in very limited supply for pre-order starting Saturday, December 6th. Please watch the PlayStation Experience keynote starting Saturday morning at 10:00am Pacific Time to learn more."

http://blog.us.playstation....

[ThatOneGuyThere]

sorry, i read somewhere it was midnight. :-/ but sony's website would be the best place to get it.

[Christopher]

Only 12,300 being made and only from Sony.com.

Edit: They should make the controller something for the whole year. I would at least buy the controller. Don't really want to buy the console just for the color.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

apparently they're introducing a PS1 theme for PS4 as well. It includes that sexy start up sound..

[TWB]

@ThatOneGuyThere

Ohmigooood ;_;
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Playstation startup sounds have been gradually getting worse, hearing that sound from my PS4 would be amazing.

@cgoodno
oh yeah, would love to have that controller, the home button with that coloured PS icon real makes it so much more awesome.

[Muzikguy]

I think Sony should make a hell of a lot more than just 12,300 of these!

@TWB
I agree the startup sounds have been getting worse. It's weird too because it's such a simple and easy thing to do. Didn't help they completely took the PS3 one away for those dam warnings

[PizzaSteve]

Man Sony should make at least 1m. They will all sell. They probably sold out now. Watch they hit ebay for like 3k.

[ziggurcat]

@cgoodno:

i'm with you there - i don't need another PS4, but i would like one of those controllers.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

so nice, now where do I buy?

[Fro_xoxo]

this is the best looking PS4.

[Galletto3]

That is a good looking console!

[bigboss20]

I love this one :D but I love my white one too :D

[chrissx]

Sexy Beast

[Relientk77]

I want this so bad

[MaxwellBuddha]

This would be perfect if it were backwards compatible with all previous PlayStation games. I'd gladly pay extra for it.

[SonyWarrior]

Id rather play the games on there respected system. I still have all playstation systems i'd never sell them or understand people that do and complain that new systems dont play the games

[dboyman]

Keep in mind older systems do die eventually. For me if they came out with a PS4 "Phat" with Cell/RSX for ps3 bc, as well as full (esp disk) ps1 and ps2 bc, even if it was $599, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

[sin7279]

Simply beautiful!

[Ickythump31]

I must have this

[Deathdeliverer]

I can't believe they are going to make me buy another PS4 ahead of schedule lol. I gotta get this though.

[Yaay4me]

So nice. Love the box too, simple, beautiful. That blue LED light against the silver, i would love that in my room

[BattleTorn]

I SOOO want! I don't usually go for special edition bundles, but I have been waiting for a good time to buy a second PS4.

Oddly, my favorite part (aside from the △2○×□ all over it, ofc) is the back side of the controller!!

[Dizzydrifter1]

Oh man I hope it has that feature the. Launch console had "the wobble". And no ability to play cd's

[SmokingMonkey]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

$500 for a second PS4.......where will I get the money?

[Perjoss]

dat startup sound tho

[lunatic0001]

I'm going to try to buy one at the event...hopefully I get one

[chaosx]

comes with a camera like it should have from the start....

[luis_spartano]

Xbox One for ya buddy

[SmokingMonkey]

and the vertical stand.

But hey.....

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Majin-vegeta]

I rather have a choice instead of having something shoved down my throat that I don't need.

[chaosx]

choice goes both ways ! Would have liked the option of a bundle right from the start....

[user7402931]

looks sweet

[DarthJay]

For people asking when it goes on pre-order, it says in the initial post from Sony:

"How to pre-order in the US & Canada: PS4 20th Anniversary Edition will be available in very limited supply for pre-order starting Saturday, December 6th. Please watch the PlayStation Experience keynote starting Saturday morning at 10:00am Pacific Time to learn more."

http://blog.us.playstation....

[Oldman100]

I just wish these weren't so limited in quantity. I'm sure there are more than 12,300 loyal playstation fans who are willing to pay the premium for one of these. Instead of being produced in a set limited quantity they should have produced as many as they could for a certain period of time. Not only would this be beneficial from a business stand point, it would make a lot more playstation fans happy.

[Skankinruby]

Not sure how I feel about this. The limited quantity makes me want one but I wasn't a huge ps one fan. I was more for n64 back then, didn't get into playstation until ps2

[SaveFerris]

I like it.

[SuperbVillain]

uuuf

[MeliMel]

I like it man...just not enough to drop another $500 on it. I'll try and score one on Craigslist at some point.

[qwerty676]

i think this one looks ugly, why do microsoft and sony decide to go use grey for their limited edition consoles

not a fan.

[SuperbVillain]

Its the 20th ann edition and the original PS was Grey....it's nostalgic for folks like us

[chikane]

@Quicktim3

here you go catch up on your video game history. And you'll know what makes this grey PS4 so special

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Cool that this is being made, but god damn the colour is ugly!

I don't get why they don't just release all consoles in a range of colours. I'm guessing the cost of manufacture.

[LightDiego]

Beautiful and really cool if you already had a PS1.

[SilentSolid]

Dunno if this is ''glorious''. I guess it's kinda cool they painted the ps4 after the ps1 colors.

But I would want something more special.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

Pretty much my thoughts. Its nice and nostalgic, but really, the grey is just, you know, grey. To each his own I guess.

[Juangie3]

Omg i would love to have that

[Jaqen_Hghar]

buy one then! With such an extremely limited console even if you choose to get rid of it later you could get some tremendous cashola if you keep everything in good condition.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I will be getting this PS4. It will look great next to my CoD XB1 :)

[StormLegend]

I want it now!!

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

I'm not usually too into those special editions, but this one is just...wow!

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Absolutely freaking GLORIOUS!

DO WANT!!

[ReturnToSanity]

I've been playing my Xbox One a lot this holiday, but 2015 is looking rather dry until next holidays. I'm getting a PS4 this Christmas to fulfill my gaming needs all throughout the year.
A true gamer doesn't care about which console is better, just plays for the games.

[MALVAD0]

the first ps n psONE i have 2 ps4 but i will get this ONE if i m lucky
looks nice

[FreakyFox]

Its looks nice.

[Segata]

It's just grey. Eh kinda ugly to me. I'd rather have the Dragon Quest PS4

[SuperbVillain]

would be cool if they brought back that original diskdrive that popped up :)

[rataranian]

Why isnt the light green?

[BattleAxe]

Looks pretty cool.

[iliimaster]

damn i just bought the gta bundle lol o well i guess but man it woulda been sweet........

[pop-voxuli]

,mjn

[bujasem_89]

hOW CAN i BUY THIS ALREADY!?

[smellslikeralph]

Its nice but not for me. I was looking for a limited edition custom console. Not just a single color

[armogangsta]

HOW DO I BUY ONE?

[keki]

be nice if they spent a bit more time and money on this one and built it All in One System ...PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4

[cruzngta]

Looks amazing...gonna get one myself to add to my black and white systems - three PS4's in da house!!!!!!!

[Tzuno]

I am not a hater but i simply not like the design of Ps4. I like this a lot http://www.kotaku.com.au/20...

[Jaqen_Hghar]

A man is totally getting this and may sell it years on down the line for some quick cash. Gotta put up a man's black PS4 with a controller and camera on ebay after picking this up though because $500 is gonna make the wallet get tight real quick. Nice that they threw in the vertical stand too so it's only really $20 extra money for an extremely limited edition with some cool personal touches.

[NerdStar7]

I WANT!!!

[Bigkurz85]

I could do without the system, but DAMN do I want that DS4 in gray with the colored PS button.

[xenz]

This brings back so many memories. Thank you, Sony.
