Oh I just noticed an interesting thing. The boxes in USA all have Grey colored sides (the dualsense boxes, the PS5 and the portal) but in Europe we have them with Yellow sides (my Edge has it in yellow and I've looked at other unboxings on youtube from europe and they were all yellow). It seems that Sony replicated the original boxes for all regions. Japan has a different design as well because their original was different from the USA and Europe ones.
3:42 The detail of putting Gran Turismo's music in the background while opening the console felt like 90s when you opened your PS1 for the very first time...
I was so disappointed that the posters come folded instead of rolled. It's especially bad with the darker poster designs, the creases absolutely ruin any point of displaying them
Back in the day we used to put a towel over it use a clothes iron the remove the creases. Do it carefully but it should work well enough for putting it in a frame
I'm quite gutted that they only did a limited run rather than 'made to order' for a week or so. Firstly they would've made a lot more money and secondly not everyone was able to get a hold of anything due to work or whatever to order one. The whole thing is perfect for scalpers to no one else's benefit. Glad you got something from the anniversary and a big thanks for showing us the unboxing!
Or some couldn't get it because Sony garbage ass ps direct can't handle traffic and doesn't have any insurance you'll get one because of scalpers. They should have adopted, you must have psn account for a year or you can't make the purchase.
Open preorders have been an amazing thing to help circumvent scalpers (at least a little bit) and I wish these normal big companies would start implementing it
PS direct was only for the PS5 Pro 30th anniversary limited edition. The PS5 slim 30th anniversary edition shown here was also available threw shops. Limited stock of course but it was.
I was lucky to get the 30th Anniversary Dualsense even though I had to "wait in line" on PS Direct for nearly an hour while being at work! Glad that you got the console and the controllers, you have a beautiful display cabinet too! Have a nice weekend ✌😁
I’m using mine, but keeping the box and everything in top shape. Little sad the box wasn’t retro as well. It’s a very nice and heavy box and packaged well, but still like how the retro box looks for the regular PS5
I got very lucky with the second restock on ps direct. Managed to get the regular dualsense because I just did not have any luck getting the Edge. But I also just very much want this limited edition version of Edge if I were to get one. So, I said screw it and got one off ebay. The cheapest one was 170 bucks markup with free shipping at least. So, the actual profit for them is less than that. The vendor also had like 2k items sold. So, they looked fairly trustworthy. And the dude got the item shipped like in 10 minutes too. It was probably the fastest I have seen a shipping label created.
I waited for over an hour only to be kicked out and see the sold out message on the product. Curious what time you got in line. I didnt know to get in line until it was time, so I guess ppl got in line ahead of me before then?
Yea I already have multiple Dualsense controllers but that did not stop me from opening my 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 Dualsense I want to actually use it not just stare at the box.
as someone who missed out on this because of the way they did the preorder, I am torturing myself watching but also love it so much. Thank you for sharing the unboxing with us.
Got mine plus an Edge and an extra Dualsense. I'm actually going to use mine as a daily driver, I just hope it lasts for many years because I'll be heartbroken if we discover the average lifetime of the slim isn't all that great. Keep the dust out everybody!
You got a different poster to me. I got a cool black one with the playstation 1 logo on it. And its kinda like a videotape retro style. You can iron the creases out of the poster btw. Pop a thick towel over the poster and iron it. 👍 Mine also arrived with the seals broken. We got 2 seals in the UK. But atleast my box is mint.
I waited four years for Sony to put those iconic green/red/blue/pink colours back on the face buttons and they look just as beautiful as ever. (I also liberated L3 + R3 from the thumbsticks and remapped them to the magnetic back buttons.)
That's stupid you should map those paddles for buttons your thumbs can't touch while using the thumbsticks.. like if you assign one of them to say X (jump) you can now jump and do a 180 turn at the same time.
@@kelb0y9o20 Hard disagree. Too often in games, applying pressure to the sticks triggers an L3/R3 mode accidentally. Those buttons were only placed there because the original DualShock had nowhere else to put them. It’s really not a good place for a button and frequently squeezing into them like that contributes to stick drift.
I'm very excited that you were able to pick these up, you end up being the only channel I watch for anything PlayStation. Mostly because of Melissa, but you also aren't riding Sony all the time, thanks for the good work Ryan!
I had it pre-ordered from a shop but they cancelled on me just 2days ago and refunded me. At least they didn't cancel my PS5 30th anniversary but it was so annoying because i could have gotten it from another shop if i knew they might not manage to get it for me but i thought i was safe with my order and now you can't get it anywhere but with scalpers so they really did a nasty on me. Sure they give you the money back but they still cause you damage when is a limited product you now can't get anymore or you have to pay crazy prices to get.
I tried so hard to get a PS5 Pro 30th AE on launch day but couldn’t succeed. So I at least got a regular PS5 Pro and the Dualsense 30th AE. Incredibly looking ❤
Got my 30th anniversary pro bundle and it was packaged very nicely. Beautiful, heavy duty box, but I was a little disappointed to find out it does not look like the old PS1 packaging. It’s ok though, the console and everything it came with look beautiful. I acknowledge I got very lucky.
That intro took me to my days in elementary sitting in my baby couch playing ps1. I'm so jealous, Ryan. This looks like an incredible piece of history to have. Looking forward to the new series by the way!
Same I keep pressing another button instead of the extra buttons underneath definitely muscle memory..we just need more practice with them but can see what a difference they make when in sync with them.
I'm only 2 minutes into the video but have already been surprised twice. 1) the 30th anniversary edition sold at Walmart?! 2) Did not expect the vertical stand being included, lol.
Really sucks not being able to get one. My mom has a Christmas photo of me with my ps1 the year it came out nestled between power Rangers turbo and batman figures.
I got the 30th Pro Bundle and I can say Sony put a lot of thought into the unboxing process. I mean when you pull the top of the box off, the console is standing there on display with no wrapping hindering the view. The only thing I missed out on in this experience is the retro retail model packaging. Still I am super stoked to be one of 12,300 people worldwide to own the 30th anniversary PS5 Pro…now it’s time to test all the sweet visual upgrades.
I am 32 years old and I have no problem hanging up posters with creases in them with tacks on my wall. I dig it. And mystic, if you don't want those playstation cable holders, send em my way. That's a stylish way to mange your cables!
Dang, this is the first special edition console I’ve ever found tempting. Unexpected that they include a disc drive cover. Even the packaging is great. Can’t wait to see this in your display case.
Man that console is gorgeous! My 30th birthday was actually on the 19th and I decided to treat myself with the 30th anniversary Dualsense Edge. Love the OG color way!
I got sooooo nostalgic watching this that I thought I could even hear Crash Bandicoot in this video sometimes... :D + If I knew how COOL all the box stuff was to I wouldn't of probably try to get one to(but saying that I'm saving for a PS6 next) Cool video as always 😎 😎 😎 + the cabinet stuff is Siiiiiiiiick to :P
He scoffs at the PlayStation paperclip, but legitimately that’s the only thing out of this whole video I actually want! Despite being a PS fan since the OG fans I’ve never been a fan of the grey look so I would never buy any of these, but the paperclip is legitimately cool. If they sold a box of those I would buy those.
I no longer have the need to own things like this. I would’ve done whatever I could to acquire one in my younger years. Now, I just don’t care. I’m happy just to have a quick look and go on with my day.
Managed to get the duelsense controller and im very happy\grateful however i agree with some comments i feel sony should have did a made to order with this, so everyone who wanted a 30th anniversary console they could do so. The pro imo had the best offering conpared to the slim, got a duelsense edge to plus everything else shown but man im jelly 😂😂
It’s only the same 10M PS fans buying the consoles. You’ve got like 8 each! Saying that, I’m on my 3rd PoS5, but that’s down to poor design and reliability issues.
Nice Collection of PlayStation Consoles, I still own the Original PlayStation 1, PS3 Fat Console, PS3 Slim, Original PS4 Consoles. I couldn't get the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary, so I just got the regular PS5 Pro.
Tried like hell to get the 30th pro. Couldn't justify buying another base console. Ordered a regular pro and two of the 30th dualsense controllers. One to use and one to keep.
Will you be doing another video testing out games like manhunt, primal, ape escape 2, the warriors, sleeping dogs etc on the PS5 pro? Curious to see if they would finally work 🤔
I wanted both a regular dualsense and the edge, but my edge order was cancelled. Apparently the edge shipment our country got was way smaller than originally promised, so most people here never got theirs.
If only I could have gotten the 30th anniversary Dualsense Edge without resorting to ebay. I did manage to wait until the controller was actually released to buy it and not a preorder. Pretty much all of the listing were going for double the price.
Nice unboxing video man, can totally tell how excited you were. Did they improve the battery life of the edge controller, or is it still worse or close to the standard controller? Would have loved to have had the dualsense 30th anniversary edition dualsense controller but first come first served. How many PS5 consoles do you have now? I am still using my launch PS5 & have no issues with it, but i don't like how Sony doesn't seem to acknowledge the og model anymore. It's shameful. Respect the early adopters, Sony. Hope you have fun gazing upon the grey lady.
Reasons for the boxes arriving opened is to prevent scalper returns if they fail to sell it won’t be accepted as a return gamestop are doing the same I personally think it’s a good thing places doing it once you bought it it’s yours unless it’s defective
Get someone that looks at you the same way Mystic looks at his 30th Anniversary edition PS5 Slim.
😂😂😂

Yes. Just put the DSE30 box in storage next to my PS(1), and those yellow b...oxes matched pretty well. 😊
3:42 The detail of putting Gran Turismo's music in the background while opening the console felt like 90s when you opened your PS1 for the very first time...
Crash Bandicoot 2 for me.
Wow I love the retro editing, with the intro and the music and the crash WOAH transition 😂
Ok now it makes sense, I was wondering what that noise was lol
I was so disappointed that the posters come folded instead of rolled. It's especially bad with the darker poster designs, the creases absolutely ruin any point of displaying them
1st world problems eh? 🥱
How would you put a rolled poster in the same box as a PS5?
@@ballinn0430 By designing the box to fit it.
@@ballinn0430 rolled into a poster tube. If they can fit a whole console in there, they can fit a poster tube too
Back in the day we used to put a towel over it use a clothes iron the remove the creases. Do it carefully but it should work well enough for putting it in a frame
The people who are actually going to open and use these are hero’s.
I'm quite gutted that they only did a limited run rather than 'made to order' for a week or so. Firstly they would've made a lot more money and secondly not everyone was able to get a hold of anything due to work or whatever to order one.

I'm not, consoles are for playing not for displaying.

This is an og PlayStation owners heaven 😅
products from PS direct come with an extra PS branded seal if anyones noticed that, an extra shiny PS logo seal.
The console looks so good! The dualsense edge is absolute perfection with the stick swap!
They look fantastic! Glad I was able to get two of the dualsense. I going to keep one unboxed
That’s what I wanted to do. Only able to get one.
I'm very excited that you were able to pick these up, you end up being the only channel I watch for anything PlayStation. Mostly because of Melissa, but you also aren't riding Sony all the time, thanks for the good work Ryan!
Thumbnail is wild. mystic going to pound town with the 30th.

I bought these and I'm watching videos instead of opening them 😂 (keeping for Christmas)
Nice unboxing. I was fortunate enough to just get to controllers and was offered the 30th portal for the 2 controllers.
Man that console is gorgeous! My 30th birthday was actually on the 19th and I decided to treat myself with the 30th anniversary Dualsense Edge. Love the OG color way!

Enjoyed the unboxing Mystic \m/
the Resident Evil 1 Save room and Castlevania SOTN caught me off guard, specially with the controller
It's absolutely gorgeous. Such a great idea.
30 poster designs? I got lucky then, mine is one with a disassembled PS1, looks really nice. This edition is beautiful.
The controller looks so freaking amazing....
You can get seams out of posters very easily by ironing them on low heat with fabric over the poster so you aren't touching it directly with iron.
The box for the Pro version is incredible. Shame that it did not come with the outer box for the DualSense edge. (Not a deal breaker tho)
Tried like hell to get the 30th pro. Couldn't justify buying another base console. Ordered a regular pro and two of the 30th dualsense controllers. One to use and one to keep.
