Yea dude I'm a Xbox 360 owner and I still think the PS4 is really cool. I don't know why people make fun of other consoles.can't we all just get along.back in the day we just played a game we got and thats it :/
Feel sorry for anyone who thinks they will get one. After Sony hands out most of them to companies and major people involved with Sony, there will only be a few left for the rest of the world to buy. IMO they missed a real good opportunity to make it about the people who brought a Sony product these last 20 years. You know release a bundle or limited edition with enough quantity that people could actually obtain one. Good luck if you want one though. :)
People will probably not get them like you said but they haven't even released how people will get them so we can only speculate on how it would be available. They could still easily make this into something great for their customers, we will have to wait and see. I am totally fine with the number as it is a true limited edition, which would mean it would be worth a lot more for the person that actual gets one.
I see what you mean. The original Playstation is something I tie as closely to my video game experiences as the NES or SNES and I'm pretty bummed out that so many major companies and major players are getting them over the ordinary people that have been supporting Sony's Playstation franchise for the past 20 years. Oh, well. I'd like to get a PS4 and was originally going to wait, but I really would have scrounged up enough to buy one of these if they weren't so limited in number. There's absolutely no way a normal person would be able to get one of the ones that are left. Hopefully, they at least release the 20th anniversary Dualshock 4, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that either.
THANK YOU for that! I have been wondering about the number of consoles and (just like Greg) why it wasn't 20k consoles for being the 20th anniversary or something. I can finally sleep easy :)
I feel like a readily available 20th anniversary controller would have been better than a limited edition console. That way everyone can enjoy & celebrate the occasion instead of a select few.
Garzanberg Well then release a new set without the numbers. The originals have greater value and then they sell a second edition of it. I really want one of these but I doubt I will get one in time.
Piss off IGN. Us 'commoners' sat online for a long time trying to get our hands on one of these the other day, but were unsuccessful because the site kept giving us errors when completing checkout. Granted, this is Sony's problem, not yours, but it really irritates me when big companies like you are basically given these things and it makes it that much harder for the rest of us to get one. And you got it way ahead of time, no less, so now anyone who was actually successful in getting one of these PS4s won't even have a fair chance at making a 'first' unboxing video. And that, folks, is what really grinds my gears.
I love the nostalgia factor here, I can see though many people finding this ugly due to its colour scheme but that is what also makes it so pretty, i'm in awe of this edition!
I am the biggest biggest xbox fan boy, but this playstation looks amazing and ill do everything in my power to get one, it brings back so many fun memories!!! This is by far the best/ coolest looking console this generation!
It's so awesome to be for 20 year the better company it feels so good to be for 1 more time the better console and continue to be the better company to thrive
It would sell for more than that. My original Nintendo (the one that took the huge game cartridges) sold on eBay for $350 and I could have got more than that if I had found the top cover and the cords to it.
Glad all these media outlets are getting the super limited console. Hope they decide to give it away to a lucky fan. They're the ones that deserve this.
Da Boy Yeah Sony made a couple to give to news outlets so they could do unboxings and what not, but no these aren't for sale yet. Not until tomorrow at least.
Guys, the PS4 20th anniversary console may be out of reach, but Sony is releasing the 20th anniversary controller to the public (which to be honest I wanted more than the console).
To be honest, both Xbox and Playstation are enjoyable. I grew up playing Xbox, so i have the 360 and the one. But this 20th Anniversary edition is pretty nice, and i am planning to get a PS4 sometime this year.
This edition is good for people who wants the PS1 nostalgia on their PS4. :) I can see why it's limited though. It's an unpopular colour so they need it to be limited to sell them. I don't think many would go for that old colour anymore.
I'm glad that Sony decided to make the controller a separate product for people that never got a chance to get the 20th anniversary system there's also websites that sell 20th Anniversary skins for regular PlayStation 4s
Well maybe in 3 years when I actually have a decent job, I've save up and buy one. I'm currently a Xbox One owner but this is definitely a cool collectors item to have.
i got one for free today on a ps4 hunt in belgium pretty amazing but very hard to get i woke up on 9am quik breakfast (and you also had to cosplay to enter)and on 11 am it begun.I got one after searching for 5hours for people with a psp badge (you get a compass to find them)and to top that off i had to hunt along with more then 200 people xD,tommorow im going to the ceremony and recieve it.
Oh my god yes I need this so much memories on PS1 I need this since I haven't gotten a ps4 yet I have the ps series and the Xbox series only good Xbox was 360 but one was a failure in my opinion but that's just me but my friend has PS4 he has most of the games like destiny, infamous, GTA V, Advanced Warfare, and etc I've had nothing but fun so I'm gonna get it.
Sony is going to do big things next year, can't wait to get mine! I love my Xbox 1 to the games are great! The system is great! Next year I hope they also have a great year.
Here's my console life. I'm fifteen so I never got to experience the PS1 unfortunately. Even though I never owned a PS1 my older brother had the NES and the SNES, both fantastic consoles, and I've also had the Gameboy Advanced. My first console was the PS2, which to this day remains as my favourite system. My friend sold it to me in 2006 when he was getting the PS3. Looking back, I have countless memories of me and my friends playing Ratchet & Clank, Need For Speed, Jak & Daxter as well as numerous other titles. All the great times we had. Anyway, in 2013 the PS4 hit shelves but fortunately I didn't have the money so I bought a PS3 Super Slim bundled with The Last of Us. This system has also brought me many memories and I have experienced some of my favourite games on the PS3. Uncharted, BioShock, Dragon Age, Fallout, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls etc. All in all, the PS3 got me into RPG's and indies as well. Let's just put fanboyism aside and cherish games as a medium itself.
To be honest, if I were living in a parallel universe where PCs didn't exist (but that would be impossible for the consoles to exist but please consider this scenario and ignore the contradictions). I would probably buy an PS4 because A) It has better specs and B) It looks like a fucking work of art. If PCs didn't exist of course.
I'm a xbox one gamer and even I think this is pretty cool and nostalgic :)
xbox gamer since 04 and I admit this is pretty cool as well :)
See you guys are awesome not fanboys not crying over why their console is better stop yo whining people and play your games
My first PS was the 4th because i was jealous of all the exclusives that consoles were getting.
Yea dude I'm a Xbox 360 owner and I still think the PS4 is really cool. I don't know why people make fun of other consoles.can't we all just get along.back in the day we just played a game we got and thats it :/
Oh my god there aren't fanboys crying out there consoles are better!!! You sirs are wise
Feel sorry for anyone who thinks they will get one. After Sony hands out most of them to companies and major people involved with Sony, there will only be a few left for the rest of the world to buy.
IMO they missed a real good opportunity to make it about the people who brought a Sony product these last 20 years. You know release a bundle or limited edition with enough quantity that people could actually obtain one.
Good luck if you want one though. :)
Probably the store employees are going to horde it for themselves too.
People will probably not get them like you said but they haven't even released how people will get them so we can only speculate on how it would be available. They could still easily make this into something great for their customers, we will have to wait and see.

you can always make one on colorware if you just like the color
I see what you mean.

Hopefully, they at least release the 20th anniversary Dualshock 4, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that either.
I got one today! Took forever cause the website kept giving an error.
Can't wait for mine to ship. I sat at my computer hitting the refresh button for over an hour until I was able to submit my order. So worth it!
12300 for December 3rd, when play station was released in japan... 12/3.
THANK YOU for that! I have been wondering about the number of consoles and (just like Greg) why it wasn't 20k consoles for being the 20th anniversary or something. I can finally sleep easy :)
I feel like a readily available 20th anniversary controller would have been better than a limited edition console. That way everyone can enjoy & celebrate the occasion instead of a select few.
12300 is for 12/3. That was the release date of the original PS1.
only 12298 now
so why not 12394?
Johnny Vanguard Good point.
Why make this limited edition?! They would have made a KILLING!!!
Film Gob Don't think they will. They have the number plate saying which one out of the 12300 it is.
Garzanberg Well then release a new set without the numbers. The originals have greater value and then they sell a second edition of it. I really want one of these but I doubt I will get one in time.
***** Or sell the controller at least. They look so slick.
oh and ppl complain its a gimmic ble ble bleh that its not worth it and that its a rip offf ppl seriously cant make up them minds -_-
MCKMrColonelKernel the controller is coming back into sale.
Piss off IGN. Us 'commoners' sat online for a long time trying to get our hands on one of these the other day, but were unsuccessful because the site kept giving us errors when completing checkout.

They made 12300 because the anniversary was on 12/3
***** The anniversary was yesterday.
***** no its on the third
LOL! someone w/ an xbox logo stating important facts about playstation that many don't know.
Xbox Ad. Lol
I got a BO3 ad
+ScrewingLogic
I got a beer ad
+Cen adblock add lol
+Penguin Gaming™ I got a no smoking ad
i got tomb rider xbox exclusive ad
Can't wait to play Street Fighter 5 on Xbox One!
U should buy a ps4
What do you mean? They just announced SF5 I'm gonna get it for Xbox One the last one was for 360.
Why sorry ??
***** its only for ps4 & pc
lxXSuddenDeathXxl what...
Hopefully they’ll be a ps5 edition like this
@@danthonythomas3446 you got your wish
I love the nostalgia factor here, I can see though many people finding this ugly due to its colour scheme but that is what also makes it so pretty, i'm in awe of this edition!
to bad your not gonna be able to get one. because half the sony employes are gonna get it and other companies
Now a Xbox fan for well over 9 years. But that nice sense of nostalgia hits you. Playing Crash Bandicoot miss it
I havn't had a Playstation since PS2 and this unboxing brought back memories haha. I think I'm gonna go out and buy one today.
I am the biggest biggest xbox fan boy, but this playstation looks amazing and ill do everything in my power to get one, it brings back so many fun memories!!! This is by far the best/ coolest looking console this generation!
I need this! Grey never looked so slick before! Classic!
As a lifelong Playstation fan, this is the greatest christmas gift ever.
I am literally freaking out. I grew up with the PS1 and the memories I had with it, came rushing in when I saw this! 😊😊
As an Xbox one owner It's inevitable to find this console beautiful, bring the best childhood memories.
Because of my craziness, I day dream while I was watching this, and had goosebumps. I love PlayStation. Good show (Y)
Looks amazing! !!!!!! But I already have a ps4 😭😭😭😭😭
Josh Miguel Glorious PlayStation Nation
I attempted at a winning game and i will sell my old black ps4 if i get this one
Me too :(
It's so awesome to be for 20 year the better company it feels so good to be for 1 more time the better console and continue to be the better company to thrive
I would buy one, keep it with the plastic. In 20 years, sell it for thousands of dollars on EBAY.....
You got the right idea.
It would sell for more than that. My original Nintendo (the one that took the huge game cartridges) sold on eBay for $350 and I could have got more than that if I had found the top cover and the cords to it.
TJ4774
Seriously.... It's barely worth anything over here
TJ4774 You sold a NES for $400 and in damaged condition? Those sell for like $60 or under normally.
I'm like a die hard Xbox fan and yet I still think this thing looks FREAKING DOPE
Same here lol.
I haven't owned a playstation console since playstation 2 and i think this looks amazing
I haven't had a gaming console since ps2 I would buy this just for nostalgia
The look on your face when you saw that you were only number 6883! THAT was priceless
2:54!! DAMN!!!!! WHY regular ps4 aren't boxed like that damn it would feel so special unboxing every single one xD
IKR
Nostalgia makes this looks awesome. But in stetics, the black PS4 is prettier.
That controller is sick
20 years of Playstation! Wow we're getting old guys, I remember playing final fantasy 7 lol
Man, brings back memories.
Glad all these media outlets are getting the super limited console. Hope they decide to give it away to a lucky fan. They're the ones that deserve this.
My first console was Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2 (2), Wii, PS3 & Ps4 (for Christmas/birthday gift soon)
so beautiful. what a piece of beauty. PlayStation
I've never seen anything so beautiful 😍😍
U said that to flowers before so u must be lying
can we all just get along and agree that theyre both great consoles ?
i haven't played playstation since the ps2, but this... i might have to invest
Da Boy that sucks, its a blast to my childhood. lots of memories and that. i have an xbox one though (pls dnt h8 me)
Da Boy What do you mean? They haven't sold any of them yet. Pre-orders open tomorrow. Be quick and you might just get lucky enough to buy one.
Da Boy Yeah Sony made a couple to give to news outlets so they could do unboxings and what not, but no these aren't for sale yet. Not until tomorrow at least.
Ythis brings back good memories and makes me want the new Escher and clank game now
Damn this thing is packaged so damn good
Being an older gamer this certainly appeals to me.
I am absolutely jealous of this. I own a ps4 all ready.
man this is dope I need one of those
The price for these things are Ridiculous
I'm not going to lie this is the best thing Sony has done all year.
I hope we get just the special Dualshock 4. Looks really neat
Guys, the PS4 20th anniversary console may be out of reach, but Sony is releasing the 20th anniversary controller to the public (which to be honest I wanted more than the console).
+Niceguy3210 I just want the console. I love my Batman ps4, but if anyone wanted to trade lol.
Where do they sell it?
dat shwegdow Idk if it was a limited sale or something, but I got mine at a local gameshop.
Ah dang, it only sells in the west? I live in the east.
+UnboxedGameplay spray paint your ps4 grey
This model and the Gold model are the sexiest models of any PS4 model there is.
star wars one for me
To be honest, both Xbox and Playstation are enjoyable. I grew up playing Xbox, so i have the 360 and the one. But this 20th Anniversary edition is pretty nice, and i am planning to get a PS4 sometime this year.
12/3 is the anniversary 12,300 get it?
Oh yhhhhhhhhhh you clever little son of mother
This comes with a stand and camera? Nice.
thanks for the review man, I am definitely buying this!
There's something about that shade of grey, I love it XD
Honestly every packaging should be this nice for ps4 , but then again that does cost more money for Sony.
im an xbox person myself, but i really like this.
Damn, I wish I had known this was a thing sooner. Now it is over a thousand dollars. Would have loved to get it brand new.
Me and PlayStation share a birthday
This edition is good for people who wants the PS1 nostalgia on their PS4. :) I can see why it's limited though. It's an unpopular colour so they need it to be limited to sell them. I don't think many would go for that old colour anymore.
These arguments about which console is better are so fun to read #PlaystationFTW
PC
+Howzat - pc isn't a console but you can have your opinions
lamborghini14572 exactly. There doesn't deserve to be a "best console" they are all potatoes
SONY really know how to create a feeling of nostalgia.
please Sony make the ps5 box like this you don't even have to include the camera people like simple stuff
Why won't they
+That random guy xbox 720 bahahhaha.
+That random guy you know that play station always was earlier that xbox
+Artic Duplex nah they will but not in years to come. And I think the PS4 is going to be around for a long time.
I *JUST* bought my PS4 (black one) this is a SWEET touch from Sony! I still have my OLD PS1 the ORIGINAL PSX the SQUARE one!!!
I'm glad that Sony decided to make the controller a separate product for people that never got a chance to get the 20th anniversary system there's also websites that sell 20th Anniversary skins for regular PlayStation 4s
I want the grey controller, them oldschool psOne feels. (Crash Bandicoot)
Brings back memories
I have the Xbox day one edition and the only thing special is the acheivment and the controller they should have done something special like this
PlayStation "420th" Anniversary
Well maybe in 3 years when I actually have a decent job, I've save up and buy one. I'm currently a Xbox One owner but this is definitely a cool collectors item to have.
Work of art IMO.
I have an Xbox One but damn, this looks sexy as hell.
i got one for free today on a ps4 hunt in belgium pretty amazing but very hard to get i woke up on 9am quik breakfast (and you also had to cosplay to enter)and on 11 am it begun.I got one after searching for 5hours for people with a psp badge (you get a compass to find them)and to top that off i had to hunt along with more then 200 people xD,tommorow im going to the ceremony and recieve it.
your so lucky
I wonder what kind of person will get the 666/12300 xD
Or number 69
Or number 420
Or number 21
Or number 12300
Or number 1145 ,never mind it's a normal number :o
This is so awesome! I want one! congratulations Sony!
I really want one! It's so similar to a ps1 XD
Such a cool idea from Sony. Bravo!
I love it!!! the color reminds me of Psone
Oh my god yes I need this so much memories on PS1 I need this since I haven't gotten a ps4 yet I have the ps series and the Xbox series only good Xbox was 360 but one was a failure in my opinion but that's just me but my friend has PS4 he has most of the games like destiny, infamous, GTA V, Advanced Warfare, and etc I've had nothing but fun so I'm gonna get it.
I was like "The PS4 has been out for 3 years..." before I realised what this is.
Sony is going to do big things next year, can't wait to get mine! I love my Xbox 1 to the games are great! The system is great! Next year I hope they also have a great year.
Im an XBOX fan but this console is sick be I used to have the ps1 which was one of my best memories
From an Xbox owner this is sexy
I'm pretty sure 12 thousand 3 hundred was picked for December 3rd, the release date.
dammit Sony stop taking my money!!
So beautiful!
I think you can get it custom. Will look exacly like the ps4 L.E but with some minor differences like the 3D printing
no lie, that shit looks sick. Pretty cool but i doubt any of these people here would get one
Here's my console life. I'm fifteen so I never got to experience the PS1 unfortunately.

That looks badass.
they have a new ps4 and i'm here playing with my ps2 :)
So Cool that is amazing I have the prototype of the controller
Might get it to replace my stolen ps4.
To be honest, if I were living in a parallel universe where PCs didn't exist (but that would be impossible for the consoles to exist but please consider this scenario and ignore the contradictions). I would probably buy an PS4 because A) It has better specs and B) It looks like a fucking work of art. If PCs didn't exist of course.
This probably would have been helpful to their black Friday sales
It's 12,300 for December 3,1994 the release date of the play station 1.
The number 12,300 comes from the launch date of the PS1, it launched December 3 (12.3)
It makes you feel so old ...
I actually agree that they should've made 20,000 instead of 12,300 for their anniversary just for the sake of a little more availability
A work of art
lol, i was like "Will you open the fricken box!??!" and I'm like "Stop with the whole "the box is beautiful!" i was like wow
It's 12300 because the original PlayStation was released on December 3rd 1994. (12/03/1994). 12/03 = 12300
