The PlayStation 5 Pro special edition console and bundle celebrating the brand’s 30th anniversary quickly sold out as soon as pre-orders went up.
This particular model combines the power of the upcoming PS5 Pro with a design inspired by the PS1, making it an incredible collector’s item for long-time fans of Sony’s consoles and games.
Unsurprisingly, this created a field day for scalpers, who are already reselling their PS5 Pro bundle preorders for as much as $5,000.
For anyone who is hoping to get the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Bundle without handing thousands of dollars over the scalpers, here’s what we know about if and when the special edition console will be back in stock.
Is the PS5 Pro bundle back in stock?
Yes, the PS5 pro digital is being stocked on select retailers, but you won’t have long to buy them.
Preorders for the system went up through PlayStation Direct and select retailers in regions where the online store is not available on September 26 at 7 am PT / 10 am ET / 3 pm BST. These sold out quickly, and getting the original bundle won’t be easy.

Sony has said it will only be making 12,300 of these bundles, with that amount being a nod to the PlayStation 1’s original Japanese release date of December 3, 1994.
Fortunately, for those who just want a piece of this notalgia-themed PS5 line, Sony has not announced a similar restriction on the rest of the Collection, which includes a 30th anniversary-themed PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, DualSense, DualSense Edge, and PlayStation Portal.
Amazon pre-orders are set to go live later today on the date of October 10, 2024. Gamestop is also restocking 600 units every hour on the hour for pro members, though units are going fast when that stock gets refreshed.
Other vendors like Best Buy are putting the bundle up for sale with less defined restock windows, and it’s not clear how many bundles they have up for sale. It isn’t clear how many PS5 pro digital bundles will be sold, either.
