PlayStation players can now order a PS5 with a special PS2 theme, though not via Sony, Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon or any other major retailer, but courtesy of SUP3R5. Earlier this month, SUP3R5 announced its “retro-inspired” PS5 console and PS5 DualSense controller. At the time, no products were available for purchase, but today that has changed. That said, if you want to purchase any of these custom-made nostalgic pieces, you’ll need to be prepared to shell out some additional money.
The special PS5 DualSense controller costs $ 99, while the console, which comes with the controller, costs $ 649. The first is limited to just 500 units, while the console is even more limited to 304 units. In other words, the stock will disappear very, very quickly. In fact, by the time you are reading this, both pieces of custom hardware may well be out of stock.
That said, if you decide to buy either of these products, you should keep in mind that neither comes in the way of Sony, which may well shut down before any products are shipped. In addition, “the retro-inspired conversion process” for the controller includes a complete disassembly of the controller, which will void your warranty. The console does not require this and therefore your warranty should not be void, but for now, there is no way to confirm that this will be the case. For the console, all SUP3R5 is doing is temporarily removing the side panels from the console. Again, this should not void the warranty, but for now, there is no guarantee that
It is also important to remember that this is a new operation, with no history, and the return policy is very vague. Meanwhile, full payment is required at checkout, although the product will only start shipping this spring.
