PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition and DualSense restock live: the latest on PS Direct’s stock drop
Refresh
Nonetheless, the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary restock is live!
The point remains, however, that the restock is now live and open for business! Hopefully loads of folk made it through the waiting room and ont ot he pages properly.
These are bound to go extremely quickly so we wish you Godspeed and here are the links once again, just in case.
Aaaaand now we’re back in a queue
AS the clock ticks over to 9am PT, my colleague and I have just been booted out of the pages and back into the virtual waiting room – but this time with a longer wait time! Which is infuriating.
However, some people are reporting on social media that they are getting through and the Slim and DualSense are able to pre-ordered so hopefully you’re one of the lucky ones!
Five minutes to go…
We’re only five minutes away from the stock drop! It’s your last chance to get into position and make sure all your details are correct – and to get into the queue or waiting room if you haven’t already!
I’m in!…..But nothing has changed…
I’ve sat through the waiting period, waiting for the yellow bar to tick down and got the glorious jingle that notifies my turn is ready, and I am in!
But nothing has changed on either PS5 Slim or DualSense page… I’ve verified this with a colleague too who is experiencing the same situation. We’re just back on the listing pages but the displayed information hasn’t changed and there’s no pre-order button still. Watch this space then, and we’ll keep trying to let you know the moment that it does change.
A virtual waiting room has appeared!
We are now in a virtual waiting room! The queuing system has begun so get on it and click on the PS5 Slim page or DualSense page right now to ensure you get a place in the queue!
The on-screen message also confirms the restock properly, with it stating “Get ready for the restock of PlayStation® 30th Anniversary Digital Console and DualSense Controller!”
There’s one hour to go…
There’s one hour to go until that 9AM PDT time referenced by the store listing pages. It is worth bearing in mind, however, that the wording on these pages asks us to “check back on October 29th from 9AM PDT”. This could suggest that stock is expected some time after that, rather on the exact hour. Either way, there’s not long to go until we find out for sure.
In order to get prepared, we would recommend that you start getting the relevant PS Direct listing pages open in your browser tabs. Now is also a good opportunity to make sure that you are logged in with your PlayStation account and ensure that all your payment info is up to date.
Don’t forget your disc drive…
If you do manage to get your hands on the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary bundle today, then you shouldn’t forget to pick up the compatible disc drive accessory.
A disc drive is not included out of the box, so it’s worth getting if you have lots of physical games that you want to play.
Luckily the accessory is readily available right now at a couple retailers, but there’s no guarantee that stock will persist for long. You can browse a range of offers below.
The PS5 Pro is still readily available
If you haven’t managed to get your hands on the 30th Anniversary gear quite yet but still want some upcoming PlayStation goodness, then it’s worth bearing in mind that the PS5 Pro is still up for pre-order at a wide range of retailers.
With brand new features like PSSR and support already confirmed for a wide range of games, it looks like a formidable option if you want to push your gaming performance to the max.
But the DualSense is a also kind of a big deal
I love the 30th Anniversary DualSense controller and think it’s a superb addition to the whole 30th Anniversary Collection – something shared by many other fans given how quickly it sold out in the US when it was available and how quickly it goes in the UK too whenever stock pops up.
Its relatively low price (compared to the other items in the collection) as well as its potential for immediate integration into a setup (everyone always wants a bigger collection of DualSenses, right?) means it’s particularly attractive to many fans so we’d get in position early for the restock of this item too.
The PS5 Slim is the big attraction
The PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Digital Edition console is a huge attraction in this restock and is likely to sell out extremely quickly once again.
It features that great retro aesthetic and comes with a disc drive cover for if you want to add a disc drive to it down the line – it comes as a digital-only by default.
Below is the main PS Direct link for the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary console as well as a bunch of other retailer inks you can use to check availability – just in case.
Why we’re here and what we know
This PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary restock has only recently come to light with both listing pages for the PS5 Slim bundle and the PS5 DualSense changing in the past few days to include a ‘check back’ note.
While we had almost totally given up on any more proper restocks in the US for any of the 30th Anniversary Collection, today seems like we’re going to get another bite at the cherry. Both pages now display the note “Please check back on October 29th at 9 AM PDT” which is our clearest indicator of a restock happening in just a matter of hours!
As mentioned at the top of our article here, we aren’t expecting any other 30th Anniversary items to get stock drops today but we’d keep those links to hand just in case. I’d recommend doing the same if you’re in the UK too as sometimes stock drops can be replicated.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the imminent PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary stock drop and 30th Anniversary DualSense restock at PlayStation Direct.
The team and I will be bringing the latest links and stock information to you right here as it happens to hopefully give you a great chance of scoring a limited edition console or DualSense.
So strap in, check out all the links on this page, and bookmark PS Direct’s pages, as this could be an intense ride.
