PS4 Pro Ultimate Retro Edition looks fantastic

There’s a PS4 Pro Ultimate Retro Edition currently available from ColorWare and it really does look the part.

[SaveFerris]

Neat.

[lxeasy]

That's Epic! The controller is also classic as well.

[XanderZane]

Yeah.. it's really cool. Be prepared to pay $900 for it. Out of stock? Must have been very limited. Probably only had a couple 100 of those.

Says they only made 25 of them.

[XanderZane]

Lot less then I thought. They should make a lot more since the demand seems to be high, $900 is way to high though. I still have my original PS1, so that's enough nostalgia for me.

[starchild]

That does look slick. I want one. I have such fond memories of playing Tenchu, Wipeout and other games on the first Playstation. Plus, I just like the way it looks. Too bad they made so few. Hopefully they'll make more.

[mockzer0]

Oh man, ps1 holds so many memories for me as well. Final fantasy 7 and 9, fftactics, twisted metal, resident evil 1 and 2, tales of destiny, Tekken, metal gear solid, Street fighter alpha 3... So much more... Golden time. 😁

[robtion]

Tenchu, Tenchu 2, Xmen mutant academy 1 and 2, and Tekken 3 were my go to games on the original PS.

[bouzebbal]

What a beauty!
PS1 really didn't age! It has an amazing design.

[Shuckylad]

I think all retro consoles still look great. It's a shame modern consoles take the "I must look good in the living room" approach to design instead of the cool bedroom look of the olden days.

[DarXyde]

Well, we have to consider what they've become. We only recently came to the conclusion that gaming is a timeless hobby; in the past, most would consider it a child's means of passing the time.

Now, gaming does not discriminate by age or gender, but they also need to look like living room all inclusive entertainment devices (because, in reality, they are).

Just my two cents. I believe the designs of recent devices really illustrate this direction well. We don't really need standalone Blu ray players, VCRs, or whatever people put under their TVs now. Controllers being wireless also help to drive that point home.

Anyway, by design, my favorite console is the PS2 slim. To this day, we've never seen anything like it. It's as big as a "lengthy" children's book and in my opinion immune to overheating wherever you put it.

[The_Sage]

How far back are we calling retro? The original Xbox looked really good, but the 360.... Ugh.

[XanderZane]

Love the way the Dreamcast looks. Still one of my favorite game consoles. I like the OG PS3 Slim as well. Very well made and looks nice.

[PsylentKiller]

Just bought the ps4 pro yesterday and, man, is it gorgeous. From the pictures, I thought it looked too big, clunky, and all around ugly. But when up close and personal, it just looks classy like it is in a league of its on (aesthetically speaking). Same goes for the Xbox One S compared to the original. I can't believe the size of the pro at 11.5" X 12.75" X 2.25 when the Xbox One S is 11.5" X 9" X 2.5". Wonder if the Scorpio is going to compete, in dimensions, that is.

My ps gold classic edition headset would go perfectly with this theme. Maybe I'll pick up a skin from Dbrand.. Hopefully they have this throwback style.

[slavish0]

That does look good

[MAULxx]

Sold Out.

[ClayRules2012]

Very cool. Does the controller look Retro as well?

[Fishy Fingers]

If only there were a video.... Yes. It does.

[ClayRules2012]

Lol, I didn't look at the article. I won't lie. I just looked at the "Headline" picture. I was busy...

Anyways, thanks for letting me know it does, bud. Have a great day!

[nitus10]

It's a standard PS4 controller that is coloured the same as a Dual Shock 1 controller although IMHO it does look nice.

[joab777]

I want this! Damn

[jonnyvito]

They surely must make more if 25 got sold immediately.

[opinionated]

I hate that I can't wait for shit sometimes lol

[S2Killinit]

That logo! So nostalgic.

[Fist4achin]

Looks cool. I wish this were offered 5 months ago...

[rataranian]

Whats the point of making 25 units?

[Yohshida]

Making it even more "limited"
Maybe they just don't like money

[Asuka]

looks so good :Kreygasm:

[InMyOpinion]

I have Glacier White...stains on my pants after seeing this!

[PlayableGamez-]

Why do I have to be broke.
That shit looks sick!

[Dafreakzo]

"PS4 Pro Ultimate Retro Edition looks fantastic" I would think this should be considered an opinion piece.

[WickedLester]

Novel but ultimately I'd never chose this model over the standard black one.

[bluefox755]

I didn't really like the Pro design in the beginning, but it's really starting to grow on me.

[Einhander1971]

Totally agree shuckylad, megadrive, pcengine, snes, neo, dreamcast, ps1, Saturn, the list could go on. All look great with their distinctive design love em:)

[ccgr]

Still not as nice looking as the regular PS4 IMO

[Flipflopp]

It looks cool but for $899, they can keep it.

[blanka4545]

dang I would want that one! I am already pro'd
out now lol!

[Relientk77]

Love it

[Pamela-Ibis]

Ill wait for the retro ps2 version

[Kabaneri]

Why dont they sell these colors regularly? They would sell even more consoles.

[Sm3000]

Yeah, it's nostalgic, but colors don't do a damn thing for me like I've said before. And knowing that these will sell on ebay for ludicrous prices turns me off even more

[Yohshida]

I just don't get the limited run for PS1 Limited Editions. Just make a freaking official one like they did already, put even more effort into in and make it the new holiday bundle. Best thing? You can pop in all your PS1/2 Discs AND THEY JUST WORK.

It just makes sense. People love that design and if sony has anything like a brain, they would just go for it. Heck, just giving me the option to play the best possible version of my PS1 games makes me jump on getting into the pro instantly. I just don't want to turn on my PS3 and use that bs controller anymore.

[ForNgoods]

Looks fanastic but at a $500 mark up i can think of several other ways to spend that money.

[InTheZoneAC]

I've always been a fan of playstation but there's nothing appealing about that ugly gray color.

[Segata]

I have the grey PS1 DS4. I like it so much I refuse to use it fearing I would wear it out lol. So using my standard DS4 looking a bit worn.

[InTheZoneAC]

you have a ps1 dualshock or a ps4 20th anniversary dualshock?

[Segata]

20th

[Nintentional]

Too bad they only made 5 of them 😩 The PS1 is one of my all time favorite consoles. I still own my original and it still works, I would love to own a PS4 that looks like it, but nope 😑

[jackdaddy]

Yeah great... Apart from the fact they sold out before you posted this so cheers for fir call

[cyx]

Too bad they just dont sell the casing of this because as cool as it looks i have a pro already and im definitely not gonna buy a new console for the cosmetic improvements.
Couldve Made a body kit available

[mandingo]

looks stupid

[shayureppa]

Looks awesome that!

[Bathyj]

Playstation Grey

[ifrit_caress]

Scalpers got it already.

[MeteorPanda]

"Colorware only made 25 units."

[lunatic0001]

looks awesome but its too damn expensive for just nostalgia, but then again, nostalgia is a powerful thing...thus they sold out no matter the crazy price

[OpinionSmasher]

if only the games were just as good as the new model. ugh well atleast we have HZD

[discobastard]

Nice but lacks the impact Sony achieved when the first launched the limited 20th anniversary PS4 the other year. They even set up a retro 1994 style video game store and sold them.for just £20!? Insane

[tealive]

This is so cool.

[IceKoldKilla]

No, it's not available. It sold out ages ago. Only 25 made. Some YouTuber (not a huge one mind you) got # 1/25. Lucky guy.
