As part of their celebration of 20 years of PlayStation, Sony will be releasing a limited edition PlayStation 4 that has the same color scheme as the original PlayStation 20 years ago.
Look at that thing, just look at it! There will only be 12,300 of these consoles made to jive with the launch of the original PlayStation on December 3, 1994. They will be sold in North America via the PlayStation Experience on December 6 starting at 10AM (PT). IF you're one of the lucky ones that manages to get their hands on this limited release, here are a few more shots of what you can expect.

20 years is a long time! In 1994, many outsiders thought that Sony was slightly crazy to launch the original PlayStation into an incredibly competitive gaming market. Who could blame them? Sony was (and is!) famous for engineering great electronics, audio equipment, and many other consumer devices. But game consoles?!
Sony Computer Entertainment, founded by my mentor Ken Kutaragi, was a project borne out of sincere passion and deep admiration for the craft of game development. The mid 90s were an exciting time for game developers, driven by the explosion of powerful but affordable 3D graphics rendering hardware and the birth of many young and adventurous development studios. The original PlayStation was meant to embody that sense of adventure and discovery, that sense that anything was possible.
We sincerely thank you for joining us on our exciting 20-year journey. You have made every bump and scrape we took along the way worthwhile. And there’s so much more to come
