Oh, my dear PlayStation, has it really been 20 years since your memorable inception? You blew my premature brain out of its bulbous cranium, with your newfangled disc drive (new to us Nintendo faithful, anyway) and vivacious Full Motion Video sequences. Because you were overworked by your previous owner when I adopted you, I had to tilt you at a forty-five degree angle to get your exhausted disc drive to function properly (you were still amazing). And now to celebrate your 20th birthday, Sony is releasing a 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4 in honour of your adventurousness.
I’m usually not one to call anything inanimate and unable to express amusement “sexy,” but that’s just what this retro embodiment of virtual escapades is: so sexy, with its Original Grey finish, that its limited quantities hurt.
“Everyone wants me; only the divine shall have me.” |
Only 12,300 units will be made available worldwide via untraditional, currently undisclosed retail channels in the SCEE region. In North America, however, this edition will be made available for pre-order starting Saturday, December 6th.
Is packaging supposed to induce a joyful panic attack? |
If more information arises on how to procure one of these appealing collector’s items, I’ll probably be too bewitched by the grey and black to let you know.
Congratulations on 20 years of PlayStation, Sony.
