Sony releases 20th anniversary PlayStation 4 console

Sony just announced that they will release a 20th anniversary PS4 to celebrate the 20th birthday of their very first gaming console. Sporting the same original PSOne grey finish as the original Playstation and packaged in a commemorative box, Playstation 4 20th Anniversary Edition will be priced at €499 and limited to 12,300 units worldwide, reflecting the launch date of the original Playstation (12/3/94). Since it is limited the console won't be released through normal retail channels in Europe, and there is yet to be information on how to get your hands on it.

Shuhei Yoshida, writes on the official PlayStation Blog:

"Sony Computer Entertainment, founded by my mentor Ken Kutaragi, was a project borne out of sincere passion and deep admiration for the craft of game development. The mid '90s were an exciting time for game developers, driven by the explosion of powerful but affordable 3D graphics rendering hardware and the birth of many young and adventurous development studios. The original PlayStation was meant to embody that sense of adventure and discovery, that sense that anything was possible. We sincerely thank you for joining us on our exciting 20-year journey. You have made every bump and scrape we took along the way worthwhile. And there's so much more to come!"
