Get nostalgic as we unbox Sony’s limited-edition 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4

By

Sony celebrated 20 years of PlayStation on December 3, 2014, the anniversary of the original PlayStation console’s release back in 1994. To commemorate the occasion, the company released a limited run of specially designed PlayStation 4 consoles, all gussied up in a nod back to the look of the original machines.

The package includes a PS4, a DualShock 4, and a PlayStation 4 Eye camera, all of them grey. Small, nostalgic flourishes abound throughout the package, from the etched-face button icons on the surface of the console and DualShock 4 touchpad to the original, colorful PlayStation logo, to the fancy box the whole thing ships in.
