I got the spiderman PS4 pro console and the spiderman PS5 console. And love them both. I think they are the best looking versions of both generations of PlayStation.
This is how to fix limited edition releases: make a limited preorder time, whether that’s 1 month, 1 week or 1 day. Then make the amount of consoles to suit the orders. Then everyone gets their console, and humans don’t have to compete against bots. Make it fair. I was an Xbox guy but became a PS guy because I could get a spiderman ps5, but couldn’t get a halo Xbox. They lose sales by not making special editions available
I feel that! I was camping out of Best Buy for the Halo Xbox and ended up being one of the last few to get it! The ended up sending 50+ people home empty handed. Granted they did show up like an hour before they opened lol.
I agree it would be better if they had more units then they would be making bank. I don't play PlayStation any more but I got to say it looks so cool and reminds me of the good old days when I played on my PS 1 with my older brothers men talk about very good times. Well any way. It won't bother me I'm now only a Nintendo guy but still I feel bad for those who missed out on it . Also a great video keep it up.
True, failed in the 30 anniversary scalper edition a gaming console made for scalpers and it failed in CPU AND PSSR the console don’t deliver what promised.
@ all this mess could be avoided just including a separate new CPU The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D so they don’t created that bottleneck. And there’s console motherboards with 2 different CPU’s. But mark cerny was counting too much on the GPU AND THE PSSR that was still on beta. This is a 1.0 version super mega vanilla.
@@kaiserpr0728The computer professional has spoken. Dude why you guys are ignoring so much good games with PSSR? There is so many good games with PSSR compared to bad ones. Why this stupid negativity? How was when DLSS came out? Nobody said anything. Now when Sony wanna go the same way iits a big Problem!?🤦🏻♂️
That’s not my argument, but there’s a lot that the ps5 was supposed to do that the pro does. That kind of sucks for proper that bought in to the regular or the slim but my issue is that they didn’t make enough of the anniversary edition.
I’d just like Sony to sell the plates. A new console is unnecessary and I’m sure the profit margin for the plates is absurd. It’s a win/win. They designed a console that allows users to customize the colorway.. the answer to the problem is so obvious that it’s clear Sony prefers manufactured scarcity.
No way should they have made just plates, I'm so glad they didn't as it would have taken away what made this release so special. And yeah I speak as someone who missed out on the 30th Pro but managed to get a 30th Slim, which looks glorious on my AV unit 😉
@RHerron89 thanks, I was over the moon to get it. Sony definitely won't make the plates because I read somewhere that they deemed making the Spider-Man plates a mistake. Apparently they got blowback from both retailers and customers, it did totally defeat the object of releasing limited edition Spidey consoles. Whether snide Chinese knock-offs start becoming available from the usual outlets is another matter, I have already seen skins I must admit. @TheCollective1 I can see 30th Slims going for as low as 479 over here so they're available at not much of a premium.
Maybe it should be, made to order instead of pre-order. Like, within that live sale week you mentioned, 30,000 people bought it, then okay cool. Sony now has to fulfill that amount
See that makes perfect sense to me! It gives everyone a chance to get one so nobody feels like they missed out. It’s the 30th anniversary celebration and only 20,000 people get to celebrate. It’s so dumb.!
I'm sorry but I disagree that scalpers are scum. You don't know these people's situation. If you have money scalping won't change your life and if you don't then $300 could be rent money. Regardless, If you see an opportunity to make money on commodity, I would take it too. If people didn't pay for scalped items then it wouldn't happen. I blame Sony for not having a better process and making it too limited. Now if scalpers sell necessities then they are scum.
I disagree also. I don’t think it changes anything if it’s a want vs a need. It’s just scummy all around. Also I can’t imagine being in position like that, where I can’t find a job but somehow I have thousands to spend on items I can flip. It just doesn’t add up.
@@TheCollective1 You were wondering how it's possible to do with no job. You buy the item with a credit card that also give you cash back. Scalp the item and get some cash back from the credit card company. If you don't sell the item, then return it within the return window which is extended during the holidays. There's no risk.
I waited for the Pro. But when I saw the Price I went out and bought a official refurbished one. Also because I like the design of the old so much more with disc drive then the slim version 😊
IMO they should have just put the Actual 1994 "Grey Slab" PlayStation ("PSX") back into limited Production as a "30th Anniversary Heritage Edition" and Sold with 33 (on Proper "Black back" CD's with the Original face art, in Proper Jewell Cases with the Original front and back (back art is *vital* for MGS as it has the Games DRM! Merrill's CODEC Frequency!) Cover art and with Proper Manuals!) of the best PS1 Games (Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid, Ridge Racer Type 4, Rage Racer, Ridge Racer 1, Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2, Tomb Raider 3, Tomb Raider the Last Revelation, Crash Bandicoot, Crash 2 Wrath of Cortex, Crash 3 Warped, Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit, Need For Speed High Stakes, Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2, Ape Escape, Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Syphon Filter, Syphon Filter 2, Syphon Filter 3, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis, Demolition Derby 2, Driver, and Driver 2 back on the Streets.) included in a Big Box and sold *exclusively* at "Bricks and Mortar" Stores! it would have *Flown* off the Shelves! Avoided the Russian Scalpers, *and* been Cheaper to Make too!
@@TheCollective1 So would I! I still have a Grey Slab, but it is a good 25 Years old now and I am not sure if it is still going to work! So I would buy a New One that could Read Disks due to being a Proper, 1994 Vintage, unaltered, exactly as it was Originally, PSX! Just one made in 2025, the LNER "Tornado" of the Console World, in a Heartbeat! Especially as the "beep... Grind.. Clunk Clunk, Whizzz,..." Of the Reader Booting and Spooling up is just such a Part of the original PlayStations... For want of a better word... Personality! And the Mini missed it! And Terribly! It also allows for a bigger Library as well, you cannot play "G Police" on Mini, as it is not in the Library :( but with a Newly minted PSX, well, plop the (admittedly Elderly) CD in, wait for the Reader to Spool, and there you are, "G Police", and, for a little while, you are 11 again..

You have to ask how successful console sales will be when rising costs are always an issue. 😢
I don’t think that has much to do with it at all. There’s a lot of people that wanted it so for them to limit themselves doesn’t make sense, I think.
Dude the effort I had to put in to even get a regular ps5 slim was fucking outrageous lmao I can only imagine what it’ll be like getting this
Exactly. It’s all just really dumb.
Ya I wanted the spiderman plates
Foreal!

@@charliezobel511congrats! But don’t be suprised when the retro plates are in regular production.

December 2nd on Best Buy they are selling the 30th slim again
Yeah I heard that. I wanna get it but it’s probably gonna be scalped to heck again.

@Madblaster6 that sounds absolutely insane. Have you ever seen anyone do that?
The 30th anniversary Pro edition had more stuff. So it was the better deal as only the ps5 pro
