Sony Unveils ‘Original Grey’ PlayStation 4 20th Anniversary Edition
Today, December 3, 2014, is the 20th anniversary of the PlayStation brand. The first consoles were released in Japan on this day in 1994, and Sony is celebrating with an extremely limited PlayStation 4 deco.
The console features button symbol etchings and the original multi-colored PlayStation 4 logo. Only 12,300 of these numbered units will be available worldwide.
If you want one, you’ll need to move quickly on Saturday, December 6. Full details on pre-ordering will be available at the PlayStation Experience keynote.

Our Take
With the Nintendo DS turning 10 and the PlayStation completing its second decade, it’s worth looking back at what made those consoles so successful. There are a number of factors, but it’s safe to say that the software shipping in a finished state is one of them.
Online integration has been a blessing for sure, but it’s a tool that has been abused. It’s time for developers to remember how to finish their games before selling them.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
