Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts! If you were left disappointed after missing the initial pre-order for the highly coveted PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, you're in for a treat. Best Buy has officially announced that it will restock the limited-edition PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition and DualSense Controller 30th Anniversary Edition today, Monday, December 2.

These exclusive items celebrate three decades of PlayStation gaming and are now available again for a short time only. However, it's important to note that the ultra-sought-after PS5 Pro bundle, DualSense Edge, and PlayStation Portal will not be included in this round of stock. If you're eager to grab a PS5 Slim embellished in nostalgic PS1 gray, this may be one of your last opportunities as quantities are expected to be extremely limited.

This restock will operate differently than previous pre-orders. The stock will be available exclusively through Best Buy's app, so here's how to secure yours:

1. Download the Best Buy app (available for iOS and Android).

2. Log into your Best Buy account (or create a new one).

3. Enable app notifications to be alerted when the restock goes live.

4. Prepare for checkout as speed will be critical once the inventory is released.

While Best Buy has not announced a specific time for the restock, historically, many retailers tend to restock between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. ET. To avoid any delays, verify that your payment and shipping details are current, ensuring you can complete your purchase the moment the drop occurs.

We'll be monitoring stock at additional retailers, as this could signal a larger restock across the board. If you're keen on scoring an item from the PlayStation 30th Anniversary collection this Cyber Monday, keep reading for all the details.

Stock Availability Check:

This specially-designed console features 1TB of storage, a DualSense controller, a vertical stand, and a Console Cover specifically for the Disc Drive (sold separately).
