PlayStation had many excellent deals on its PS5 consoles and DualSense controllers on Black Friday, but the most sought-after 30th-anniversary editions remained out of stock at all major retailers. However, in the build-up to Cyber Monday, Best Buy has confirmed it will sell both the 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 Slim and DualSense today, November 2, though there’s fine print. Here’s everything you need to know to boost your chances of snagging one.
Pre-orders for the PS5 30th Anniversary Collection went live on September 26, but since then, finding them in stock has been like searching for a needle in a haystack. We saw a brief restock at PlayStation Direct and other participating retailers on October 10, but the stocksold out in minutes. Best Buy is the only major retailer that has confirmed a restock of the retro-styled PS5 Slim and DualSense, but it might not be the only one.
According to a reliable PS5 stock journalist, Matt Swider fromThe Shortcut, other retailers like Amazon and Walmart might also restock the PS5 30th Anniversary Collection.
Sony’s 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim and DualSense Are Coming to Best Buy on December 2
Best Buy recently updated the listings for the PS5 30th Anniversary Slim and PS5 30th Anniversary DualSense with what is a clear message about a possible restock. Each listing currently shows, “This product drops on Jul 12, 2025.” However, the real kicker is thatBest Buy will only sell them through the app, along with other limited-run products. If you go to the website, you’ll still find the 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim and DualSense listings, but you’ll only be able to order from the app.
We still don’t have a specific time for the restock, as Best Buy has only indicated the restock “will be available from approximately 10 am-5 pm CT.” This is most likely because they want people to keep checking out their app and other Cyber Monday deals. Still, you can get ahead of scalpers and other shoppers with the following step-by-step instructions:
We expect the Best Buy restock to sell out fast, so ensure you have the app ready ahead of time. While there are no confirmed restocks from other retailers, we still recommend checking out the links below in case of any surprise drops. Matt Swider claims major retailers tend to restock the PS5 consoles during big sales, and Cyber Monday might just be the perfect time to ramp up sales.
PS5 30th Anniversary Slim
Best Buy is offering another chance to grab the retro-style PS5 Slim with their limited drop in the Best Buy app on November 2. Meanwhile, keep checking the other retailers using the links below for any restocks on Cyber Monday.
PS5 30th Anniversary DualSense
Sony’s DualSense is not only compatible with iOS and Android phones, but it also features an upgraded design that looks great and feels comfortable when playing, thanks to its textured grips. It features a headset and built-in microphone that allows gamers to use commands in compatible titles or chat with friends online.
PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller
The regular PS5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Edition are up for grabs at different retailers with excellent discounts. PlayStation officially announced up to $75 off the PlayStation consoles and $20 off accessories like the DualSense controller for Black Friday, and we’ve confirmed the deals are still live on Best Buy. If you can’t wait for the PS5’s 30th Anniversary restock at Best Buy, there’s still time to grab the regular PS5 and DualSense controller for much less.
