Sony's Giving PS4 Special Edition PS1 Makeover

I want. Man, that nostalgia hits hard.

That's pretty neat, I really like the etchings.

Haha, that's cute.

I want this, you guys.

Serial numbered!

just give me the controller!

I love how he glosses over everything after PS2 up until PS4...

Oh man, that PS1 Slim! Such a cute little console; looked like a walkman CD player.

It's a small change, but the addition of the 4 color PS symbol on the controller really makes that thing look more appealing to me.

The way he keeps saying stuff like "An excellent look for Playstation Camera" sounds like there should be a "TM" at the end.

I need this. I need this.

By "massive mark on the industry" regarding the Vita, did the dude mean a skid mark?

Oh, I thought they were introducing Playstation 420 ...

...forget it then.

"And then we have PS Vita... yeah.. um... Then there is PS4!"

Ya, that hits the old nostalgia bone. Very good marketing idea, Sony. Very smart move.

Edit: What's funny is I would buy this in a heart beat and yet it's going to be almost impossible to get one.

And there's no way to play ps1 games on it so that's cool.

I kinda really want that. Part of me wishes they were making a lot more so I could have a chance of getting one affordably or any time after the pre-order period. Because you know that thing is going to be selling for way more than it should be on eBay.

I hope the controllers aren't super limited too. I've wanted one in that classic gray for a while now.

I wonder if Jeff is feeling the itch.

Hi Sony. Ryan here.

I understand you're doing limiteds now and that's cool. Wonderful even! But how about on this run, this particular run, you let the factories fly. Do limiteds of whatever newgameofthemonth/supermarketingblitz you'd like to promote otherwise. This one though, you're leaving money on the table. More OG logo please.

That's a good look. Zero chance of me getting one of these, but I'm happy they exist.

I really wanted this until I watched the video. Holy fucking ham fist, batman.

Also, it's deviously brilliant. Assuming this will be more expensive than a standard bundle, Sony is essentially giving Microsoft the finger. "You go cheaper, we go higher! muahaha!"

YUMMMM

There's a free PS4 theme that has the PS1 boot up sound. There are also themes for the PS3 and Vita but don't have the sound.

When he's introducing all the consoles he says he's going to introduce the 20th anniversary edition and says he hasn't seen it himself but...isn't that it right under his nose?

Or is that the white version?

yeah, and the media capability of the PSP...shows UMD icon on the crossbar.

Do not want. I'd rather have the Destiny special edition. To me, the white looks much nicer.

Get back to me when they release an XBox One that looks and acts like an XBox 1.

It's so ugly and so beautiful.

So where are pre-orders going to be available for this thing? Regular retailers or only direct from Sony? Can I just pre-order this on amazon?

I don't get how people think this is ugly. It looks both familiar and refreshing. Honestly, I'm tired of staring at Yet Another Black Box sitting on my entertainment center.

@thatpinguino: Seems like just Store.sony.com this saturday.

@gvalo: Thanks. I bet those servers are going to be a mess. Looking forward to not getting into the queue!

Someone don't be a greedy fuck and send me one for Christmas.

Yep. Gonna do everything in my power to get one this Saturday.

Did that guy just do a hipsway at the beginning there?

Honestly, I kind of wish this is what the PS4 looked like originally. Considering they were talking about their history and everything at the first reveal event.

In other words, I just bought a new controller and should've waited and now I'm disgruntled because this looks awesome.

I really want the controller.

I hate that they do these cool things in limited quantities.

@thatpinguino: they aren't going to reveal where to get it until Sat and you have to watch the PSE to know.

So, good luck. They're all going to disappear within a minute is my guess.

i LOVE things that are iconic!

@thatpinguino: it's also going to be on sale at the PSX this weekend. The blog says to watch the Keynote on Saturday morning to find out more. Apparently they're not available outside of North America?

@cornbredx: Thanks! I'm glad I waited on a PS4. If I don't get one of the limited edition ones I'll just continue to wait for a game I want to play. So no big rush.

@thatpinguino: Ya, I feel the same way. I'm gonna try to get this, but... oh man. It's gonna be rough.

It's cool they did a little something something.

anyone know price?

It's incredible how they've managed to turn something that was extremely functionally built into something super sexy.

gorgeous.

Holy crap thats stupid as fuck. Where can I buy it?
