Default Playstation 4 pro 500 million limited edition

August 9, 2018 - Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) today announced that it will introduce a specially designed PlayStation®4 Pro (PS4™Pro) “PlayStation®4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition” (HDD 2TB) from August 24, 2018, and will be available at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 49,980 yen in Japan, $ 499 USD in North America and €499 in Europe*1. With PlayStation® (PS) hardware sell through surpassing 525.3 million units worldwide, the Limited Edition PS4™Pro is a thank you to all the fans who have supported and enjoyed entertainment on the platform. Only 50,000 limited edition PS4 Pro consoles will be available and for the first time comes in a dark blue translucent design on PlayStation®4 (PS4™).



Since the launch of the original PlayStation (SCPH-1000) in Japan on December 3, 1994, PS platforms have evolved, embracing new technologies and thriving in a fast paced and competitive market. Succeeded by PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), PlayStation®3, PlayStation®Vita, and PS4, the platforms have consistently provided a variety of innovative entertainment to the world. Moreover, PS4 surpassed 81.2 Million units as of July 22, 2018, and continues to further expand.

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the continued support from our fans and business partners, who have all contributed to PlayStation’s rich history. Without our passionate community, we would not have been able to surpass this remarkable milestone of 500 million units.” said John Kodera, SIE President and CEO. “PlayStation®4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition has been created to represent our appreciation to our loyal fans. We will continue to make PlayStation the best place to play for all, as does our continued commitment to expanding our library of great games and variety of network services.”

Furthermore, the bundled “Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK®4) 500 Million Limited Edition” will be sold separately along with the “Gold Wireless Headset 500 Million Limited Edition” starting from August 24, 2018*3 in a limited quantity respectively.

SIE will continue to further expand the PlayStation platform to deliver entertainment experiences that are only possible on PlayStation.

Not surprised you can't find one. Sony have sold about 2million more PS4s than they have actually shipped this year!

Is the actual PS4 Pro transparent or is it just a design on the case?

It is, and it glows blue when the LED strip lights up.

F yeah!

Question now is: do I want to add a third PS4 to my household? I love translucent consoles (the last one I bought was a Crystal Xbox) and accessories, but this LE offering is da bomb diggity. Would take this over the Spider-Man PS4 Pro, no question. I do have a couple of weeks to decide before the pre-order window opens.

I'd much rather have a reissue of the grey anniversary one but this is leagues better than the last limited one they did that was blue with the controller button symbols on it. Celebration of Play model or something?

So will this come to retailers or will it be a cluster**** like the grey one when the SONY website died?

Limited to 50,000 worldwide I'd question if it was even worth having multiple retails having an allocation. I can just see it ending in tears because they will over sell it, how many will they get, like 10 each?
