One hour warning US folks! (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons) Look, I like using the warning triangle, okay? It’s now just one hour from the US getting its chance to snap up some delicious 30th Anniversary DualSense stock! You can use the link below to get straight to the DualSense listing page at PS Direct, and I’ve also included the PS5 Slim Bundle and PlayStation Portal US listing just in case there’s been a clerical error and PS Direct US is going to get the same stock as PS Direct UK. It never hurts to be diligent! 30th Anniversary DualSense: $79.99 at PS Direct US

Attention turns to the US restock… With UK stock now out in the wild and readily available to buy, we’re starting to turn our attention to the US. Folks over there will have a chance to get the 30th Anniversary DualSense at 10am ET at PlayStation Direct, and we expect competition to be fierce. PS5 DualSense 30th Anniversary Edition: $79.99 at PlayStation Direct US US shoppers will get a chance to buy the limited edition DualSense from PlayStation Direct on July 21 at 7am PT / 10am ET. Check for stock at: Walmart | Amazon | Best Buy | Target | GameStop

I’m back! And to follow up on Rhys’ last point… Hello again! Rob here to take over as we enjoy lots of UK stock and start to head straight for the US DualSense stock drop. And yes, I too saw that link change that Rhys mentioned. I think it’s tied to sessions timing out, and a logging back in kind of deal, as sometimes when I refreshed I had to do the latter. As a result, it shouldn’t be anything to worry about.

A change at PS Direct UK Sony’s PS Direct store pages have changed their ‘Add to Cart’ link to ‘PS Plus required’. This was always the case, as PS Plus members were confirmed to have first refusal on the hardware when restocks launched at 10am BST. As such, this could just be Sony correcting a clerical error, or simply making sure buyers know they must be subscribed to make the most of this early stock drop.

A US restock reminder It’s not just us here in the UK that have a chance to buy 30th Anniversary hardware through this restock. Later today, we’re expecting PS Direct on the US side to receive stock of the 30th Anniversary DualSense controller. Sadly, it’s going to be just the DualSense and not the PS5 or the PlayStation Portal, but this is at least something for US folks who missed out on the controller the first time around.

Is stock likely at other UK retailers? Unfortunately not; this does appear to be a PS Direct-exclusive restock for the 30th Anniversary hardware. Having checked all major UK retailers, the only one with a store page is EE Store, and that’s for an out-of-stock DualSense 30th Anniversary Edition. Still, this page is worth bookmarking in case PS Direct runs out of stock and EE Store finds one or two down the back of its sofa.

Stock still going strong at PS Direct! Hey folks, Rhys here taking over from Rob for a bit while he enjoys a delectable lunch break. As a general update, restocks for the 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5, DualSense, and PS Portal are all still holding up at PS Direct. Just remember to be signed into the website with your PlayStation account in order to successfully add them to cart. PS5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Edition (with DualSense): £469.99 at PS Direct

DualSense Wireless Controller – 30th Anniversary Edition: £69.99 at PS Direct

PlayStation Portal – 30th Anniversary Edition: £209.99 at PS Direct

I’m taking a break – here’s Rhys OK, I’ve been here since early doors this morning, so am just stepping away to take a break. I’ll leave you in the safe hands of my excellent colleague Rhys until I’m back.

How much stock is there? Honestly, Sony must indeed have warehouses full of these three items! This is a very healthy restock of these wonderful items in the UK, and maybe the two-day headstart for PS Plus members does really indicate what Sony has in the locker for this restock.

Well, this has proved wonderfully uneventful… (Image credit: Sony/PlayStation) In strange news, and having experienced some real shockers over the past few years, this restock is proving to be wonderfully uneventful. Everything is still in stock and readily available! Amazing stuff. Let’s hope it’s the same in the US later with the DualSense restock. PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary DualSense: £69.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal: £219.99 at PS Direct

Seriously, that stock is holding absolutely brilliantly… (Image credit: Sony) There really doesn’t seem to be any sign of stock faltering at all. Maybe PlayStation was supremely confident of how much stock it had, especially given PS Plus members have two days’ head start. PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary DualSense: £69.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal: £219.99 at PS Direct

Stock remains steady I can still see stock of all three items at PlayStation Direct UK so things are going well so far. Fingers crossed it continues… PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary DualSense: £69.99 at PS Direct

15 minutes to go There’s only 15 minutes to go now before the UK sees it’s stock drop. Make sure you’re signed in to your PSN account, have your payment details updated, and have made sure your PS Plus sub is live, or you set one up – you should have just enough time to do so still.

25 minutes to go in the UK! (Image credit: Sony) Only 25 minutes to go in the UK! Here are those links once again: PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal: £219.99 at PS Direct

A small correction from me! Bit of an update on something I have missed up until recently! The US will get a 30th Anniversary restock today! Huge news! It’s only on the DualSense controller, but this superb news. It’ll start at 7am PT / 10am ET and you can start by camping on the link below. 30th Anniversary DualSense: $79.99 at PS Direct

Which one are you going for? It’ll be interesting to see which of these items from the collection today will be most popular. The easy answer is the PS5 bundle, but I reckon the DualSense is one of the most appealing given its price tag and more controllers is never a bad thing. The PlayStation Portal is the one I would buy right now – that thing looks superb. Hard to justify when you’re moving house though…. 🙁

PS Plus reminder! Remember you really should consider getting a PS Plus subscription if you’re interested in this restock, and haven’t yet got a sub – only PS Plus members can access the first two days of this stock drop so it’s critical. Check out your options after logging into the PS Store here or alternatively, grab some store credit from the likes of Amazon (below) to then use at the PS Store to get a cheap sub – one month of PlayStation Plus Essential is only £6.99 so it’s a small investment to make sure you’re in position for this restock.

One hour warning! (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons) OK, we’re getting quite close now: only one hour to go before the 10am PS Direct 30th Anniversary Collection stock drop! Here are those links once again to get you in the right place in good time. PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary DualSense: £69.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal: £219.99 at PS Direct

UK only – as far as we know (Image credit: Sony/PlayStation) This restock is superb for UK shoppers, but it’s a shame that the US isn’t receiving the same treatment – at least this time around. If you’re a US night owl reading this and fancy rolling the dice, then the below links are the ones to use and try.

It’s worth noting that the three listing pages for the products that go up for ordering today have changed in the last few days. All three of the PS5 Slim, DualSense, and Portal pages now have a ‘release date’ of “Monday 29th September 2025”. This differs from the PS5 Pro page which just says ‘Currently Unavailable’ and has zero information or description on it, and the DualSense Edge page which has retained the information part, but just has a regular ‘Currently Unavailable’ message on it. Given the latter is what the three products available today had until recently, might that mean we’re on for DualSense Edge stock at some point too…

Two hour klaxon! (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons) This is your two hour warning UK folk! Only two hours until PlayStation Direct UK drops stock of three of its exquisite 30th Anniversary Collection!

Remember, it’s only on three items… Another important detail here is that this PS5 30th Anniversary Collection restock is only on three products. That’s pretty good considering the collection only consists of five, but if you were hoping for more PS5 Pro or DualSense Edge variants, then you are sadly out of luck. Here are the PS Direct links to now sit on for the three items going up orders today. PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition: £469.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary DualSense: £69.99 at PS Direct

30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal: £219.99 at PS Direct

PS Plus is key While the restock begins at 10am today at PS Direct, the absolutely key bit of information is that it will only be open to PlayStation Plus members from the beginning. PS Plus members will have two full days of access to this restock before non-PS Plus folk too, which is an enormous window. Either PS Direct have a whole load of stock or, as I suspect, anyone without a PS Plus subscription is going to be disappointed… As a result, I think it’s imperative that you get a PS Plus sub of any kind this morning ahead of the stock drop. It doesn’t have to be a big one and might only cost you a few quid, but the benefit here could be enormous. You can head straight to the PS Store here to check out if you’re eligible for a free trial or any personalised deals, but the below link to Amazon to snag a bit of PS Store Credit may be the quickest and simplest way to get a cheap PS Plus sub before the restock happens PlayStation Plus: at Amazon Browse all of Amazon’s PSN download codes and PS Plus deals

The easiest place to grab the necessary code or deal to get even the cheapest PS Plus subscription is almost certainly at Amazon, so use this link to jump right to the full PSN code listings there.

Important timings! (Image credit: PlayStation) So, what’s the most important information on this restock today? First, it’s the timing: PlayStation UK has confirmed that the 30th Anniversary Collection restock will drop at 10am BST today, July 21.

How it started… Totally out of the blue, PlayStation UK shared news of today’s restock on its social channels last week – a week ago today in fact. I’d almost given up on seeing stock ever again of this collection so was taken a back – even if it is only on three of the products: the PS5 Slim bundle, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal. However, there was more info here than just a straight 30th Anniversary Collection stock announcement… The 30th Anniversary PS5 Digital Edition Console Bundle, 30th Anniversary DualSense Wireless Controller, and 30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal will have a limited restock, launching on September 29.
