PS2-themed PlayStation 5 consoles to go on sale next month

Starting January 5, 2021, you’ll be able to order yourself a “ retro-inspired ” PlayStation 2-themed PS5.

You may remember it, but earlier this month there was a mockup of the design of whattheefth and SUP3R5. It received such an overwhelming response that SUP3R5 goes for it and creates a DualSense controller for $ 99 or / and a console starting at $ 649.

The bad news is that these limited edition consoles will be sold in very low supply. SUP3R5 confirmed in an email that it will only make 500 DualSense controllers and 304 consoles, making it a very hot item.

Even though these are unofficial and SUP3R5 points out that it has no affiliation with Sony, they will likely be picked up quickly.

SUP3R5 explained, “We feel compelled to do this based on the unexpected positive response from everyone. They added that since they are going to modify existing components instead of manufacturing them, they don’t expect to run into legal challenges from Sony.

Interestingly, a majority of gamers revealed that they plan to give up work when launching the PS5 in their country so they can spend all day with their new purchases.

A Reddit survey at the time of release found that the vast majority of PlayStation fans were planning to use annual leave or take a good ol ‘sick man away to spend some quality time with next-gen hardware.

While the results of a Reddit survey are hardly exhaustive, a separate study by executives.co.uk found that 66.5% of fans took the day the PS5 started working.

On a slightly more ominous note, a few on the Reddit thread wrote that they don’t take the day off just so they can play on the console, but more so their precious bundle doesn’t sit outside their home. house all day.
