New Translucent PS4 Pro Model Celebrates 500 Million PlayStations Sold

Sony has reached an impressive milestone: in the 24 years since the original PlayStation launched in Japan in December of 1994, the company has sold over 500 million PlayStation consoles (525.3 million, to be exact). To celebrate, Sony's releasing the PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition. It's a new translucent dark blue version of the console that will be limited to 50,000 units worldwide. It will be available on August 24.

The PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition comes with a DualShock 4 controller with the same translucent blue shell, a 2TB hard drive you to store tons of games, apps, videos, screenshots and more. It will be available for $499.99 USD (MSRP) / $639.99 CAD (MSRP), and will be limited to 50,000 units worldwide. The front of each system will have a commemorative copper plate with its unique serial number etched on it. Some will have "extra special" serial numbers like 09995.



The 500 Million Limited Edition DualShock 4 will be available as a standalone item for $65 / £55 on August 24. Additionally, you'll be able to buy a 500 Million Limited Edition Gold Wireless Headset with the same translucent blue design and copper detailing for $100 / £78 on September October 11 in Europe.

Sony says that all of the items will be available in very limited quantities, so don't be surprised if you have a hard time finding them in stock. The 525.3 million sales figure includes PlayStation, PS2, PSP, PSP Go, PS3, PS Vita, PS Vita TV, and PS4.
