This looks fantastic, limited to 12,300 though, Hopefully get my hands on one but not looking hopeful.

I miss the old one. I bet they go for peanuts now. Get it chipped and download Street Fighter

They've also released a PS1 theme for PS4, so it has the old logos and even the old startup sound. Retrogasm!

 

[Nick]

I was hoping that they had put the ps4 into a ps1 case.

 

[Marty]

PlayStation experience exclusive. Got no chance of actually owning one.

 

[Covstu]

so there is no difference in it??

 

[Marty]

I think it's the same base console with a different shell. Could be wrong.

 

[ajsccfc]

It's basically a fancy skin, yeah. I'd be all over one of those controllers if they come out though.

Just read an article that suggests this will be for sale in Europe for 499.99 euros (£400). Hoping to get my hands on one.

 

[Marty]

Well I missed out. Selling for over 15k on ebay.

Hoping to get one once it calms down.

 

[Covstu]

no chance!!!!!!

A lad on another forum I used managed to buy 3! Offered him a grand for one.

 

[Marty]

I'm sure that nobody cares but I have bagged myself a console. Paid $1500.

Say whhhhaaatttt

 

[Marty]

Well, I've agreed to buy one, if I go through with it is a different matter. Can't see them losing any value.

If you were down some pop-up shop on Bethnal Green Road this morning you could have been one of 94 people to get them for £19.94. If there isn't a pop-up punch-up reported I'll be massively surprised.

Can't join us? Stay tuned for more further 20th Anniversary activities where you can purchase online starting from Monday!

 

[Covstu]

$1500............wow!

 

[Marty]

Hoping to get some from Sony UK store. I will be buying 1 if I can.

 

[ajsccfc]

I reckon they'll at least be making the controller available as a regular item.

Best controller I ever had was an early dual shock on PS1, it was big and chunky when it first came out with all their controllers since being a lot smaller.

 

[Marty]

I hope you're right about the controller.

Anybody else interested in this console?

Sony UK boss Fergal Gara has told Eurogamer that the company will sell more PlayStation 4 20th Anniversary Edition consoles online to UK customers from Monday, 15th December - at the normal price of £399 of course.

80 per cent of the volume allocated to the UK will be sold online, he told Eurogamer at the opening of the PlayStation '94 retro shop in London this morning. Given the shop had just shy of 200 units to sell, around 800 units will be available online to buy next week.
