His name alone puts us on track and also reminds us again of the inexorable passage of time. And that’s it PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection It reminds us that we are really taking giant steps closer to the date that will pass 30 years since its arrival on the market. Yes, you read that right, the console you used to play a lot until recently will be three decades old in two and a half months.

It is true that those birthdays, those that are remembered its release on December 3, 1994is limited solely to Sony’s home market of Japan, as its jump to the rest of the world was not completed until the following November when it debuted in Australia, after doing so in Europe and North America in September. Be that as it may, months more, months less, if you feel that not so much time has passed and at that moment you could have bought it with your own money, earned by the sweat of your brow (this is also the case with me), suddenly you will feel something missing older and you will also experience a certain nostalgia.

And Sony knows it. And it goes for you.

Nostalgia sells, sells a lotand this is a phenomenon that has no end. It is true that there is currently a certain excess of material to take us to past times, so the lack of time and economic resources (and perhaps also a certain degree of saturation) forces us to be somewhat selective. . Or at least try. But of course there are certain colors, certain logos and certain names that resonate in the head, with a strange echo that instead of repeating the original word resonates with a resounding “buy, buy, buy, buy…”

I’m afraid that will be the case for many with this birthday “gift” and that’s why Sony has announced the PlayStation 30th Anniversary, a space edition of the PlayStation 5 that recreates some of the iconic elements of the console that started the saga.. Moreover, for those who decided to think about it after seeing it, the tech company urges them not to, as all elements of this collection will be very limited edition.
