Also going up for preorder at the same time are Sony’s retro-styled 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundle ( $999.99 ), PS5 Digital Edition slim ( $499.99 ), PlayStation Portal ( $219.99 ), DualSense ( $79.99 ), and DualSense Edge ( $219.99 ).

This week, Sony opened up pre-orders for the items in its 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 collection, and for many at least, the experience of trying to snag anything was one of confusion and frustration.

PlayStation Direct will be the only retailer taking pre-orders today (the lone exception will be the DualSense 30th Anniversary Edition, which will be available at “participating retailers), so make sure you have a PlayStation Network account set up (and if you don't go make one, right now), and then follow our live updates.
