Visiting Japan, here's the first 20th anniversary edition PS4 they had at the Sony building showroom in Ginza:

Wooaa a number 00000!?? That's just too much for my mind to handle! So there's like 12301 units that actually exist??

Sneaky Sony. Thanks for showing this to us, Candeez

It's number 00001, it's the one they're auctioning off.

Looks like 00000. Where are you seeing 00001?

 

[Donos]

Mine arrived in Australia today!

haha, bet your PM inbox will be pretty busy in the coming days. Damn, that number probably is worth 2000 €.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Are people who have one using the limited edition pad?

I'm too scared too.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Mine arrived in Australia today!

Congrats on being able to make endless "but this one goes to 11" jokes.

I'm honestly surprised any sub-100 numbers ended up anywhere other than Sony exec (and 3rd-party publisher) offices.

 

[That Singer Guy...]

Got mine on the 24th, I was one of the guys who wouldn't give up even though the website crashed...took me 2 and a half hours.

So you gonna open it or what? Show us that #.

As for me, I'll decide whether I open it or not this Friday. If I do, I must return my Destiny Bundle.

Yes because I sold my other lol.

How sad are you guys gonna be when the thumbsticks on your limited controllers start cracking and peeling

If you have a screwdriver and 3 bucks, you can replace them yourself.

Didn't they fix that? I've also never had that issue with my two launch controllers..

 

[FuturusX]

Not going to use it

 

[Charadis]

I do. Just leave the plastics on, and slap a skin on the home button and touch pad. It'll be fine.

Must've been the negative energy coming from those Xbox games behind ya.

Congratz!

Wai....wha?

I like stickers

Awesome set up, do you live in the future?

This is somewhat off topic but how do I transfer my progress from the cloud to my PS4? My game save was backed up to the cloud but when I launch GTA V it doesn't recognize it. I downloaded the save file locally but it doesn't show up when I go to load game.

 

[Darvan]

Man I wish I could just get a system.

OT- Just a quick thought did you active the system under game's?

 

[bananafactory]

I know it doesn't affect everyone. But me and my friend have both had it happen. It's happen to every controller I own, including a blue one I just bought a couple months ago.

Fellow Canadians:
My order just changed from 'Processing' to 'Preparing for Shipment'

soon..

 

[Visualante2]

UK eBay prices, I'm really bad at spreadsheets. I may also do a chart for volume of sales if I can get the date formatting to work. Would be interesting to see how demand is being met. Starting value is 7th of December, final value is 2nd of January

Graph omits a £7000 sale which looked suspicious.

 

[Ashler]

Has anyone kept the shipping box in which the console came in? I'm curious if you can identify the number of the console just by the various references.

 

[beast786]

Got mine today . Will look great next to my PSX

 

[DancingCactus77]

Canadian orders from Sony are shipping. Got a tracking from Purolator today.

 

[Etaber]

Just got a shipping notice for my Canadian order.

 

[Jonboy]

If anyone wants to sell theirs for a reasonable price, PM me.

How low are you talking? Both bobobrazil and myself have ours listed in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.

 

[ginger ninja]

So have i, its still sealed and unopened, though i am looking to sell locally only in NYC

 

[Roran Stehl]

8016 here! Beautiful!

 

[lynux3]

00000/12300? So there is actually 12,301 units.

Anyways, #11,189 reporting in.

 

[Peagles]

Not really keen to pay eBay prices here, sorry.

 

[Estocolmo]

I won one by winning a Drive Club competition in Stockholm, Sweden. Did it a month ago but Webhallen (the store) hasn't been able to give me a date when it will arrive.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Just received my Canadian 20th anniversary. Not the best number, but it could be worse (#04988) !

I wonder if Canada numbers will be close or if it will be all over the place once again!

 

[mob_skater]

Just received my console that I had bought off an American gaffer, #4817.

Everything is remaining in the box except the console itself. Already sold my black launch ps4.

 

[Later Alligator]

i got a canadian one as well and its somewhere around 5100, i can't remember the exact number right now

 

[beast786]

Is there a way to find the number without opening

 

[Ashler]

Is there a way to find the number without opening

I was trying to figure this out as well. I've looked to the brand stickers that come with the packaging box. The only one that caught my eye on mine was one that had "Spain 1004" on it. But we need more examples to compare if they're actually indicative.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Are people who have one using the limited edition pad?

I'm too scared too.

Yep I'm using my pad along with my spare

 

[DashSix]

I had put mine up for sale on ebay after i saw how much they were going for (for an admittedly higher price than i thought anyone would pay), and if it didn't sell, I'd keep it and sell my launch ps4. Listing ended with no sale, so #00759 is now accounted for

 

[Oxn]

Wow,

was not aware GAFfers have been buying from other GAFfers

 

[pantsmith]

So jealous of everyone who got one (and opened it, instead of doing the sane thing and reselling it at a vastly inflated price)

I told myself I wouldn't ever pay more than 800 dollars for one, which doesn't look like it will ever happen, so here's hoping I get the inevitable PS2 themed PS5 next time around.

 

[bargeparty]

I still might sell mine, but I feel like opening it to check the number is a must.

 

[Riptwo]

9512 reporting in from Canada. Can't think of anything significant about the number. December 1995 was when Suikoden released in Japan, I guess? First Christmas for the NA PSX?

Keep trying.. I sold mine for not much more than that here to another GAFfer.

 

[DevilFox]

I entered a contest to win one of these beauties, I'll let you know if I'll win, GAF! (not gonna sell it lol)

 

[Darvan]

I really wanted one of these systems but those crazy price's. My birthday is coming up hoping I'll find one for around the $800 price those $1000 prices is completely out of my range. Congrats again to those that got your systems

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

I'm just going to wait until the other 12,299 people identify their number and then I will know mine.

You´re going to wait a long time, because I´m not oppening mine!

PSA to PortugalGAF:

Portugal has it's own auction for 40 units of the Limited 20th Anniversary edition running the entire weekend (ending in about 59hrs): https://www.playstation20anos.com/

Good luck guys!

Slightly offtopic but still relevant: Insert Coin Clothing started selling the officially licensed PlayStation 20th Anniversary varsity jackets and basketball vest. Not a fan of the latter, but I just ordered the jacket. As an owner of a 20th Anniversary PS4 I couldn't pass this up .

Jacket - £60 / €78 / $84
Vest - £55 / €71 / $77

If you're thinking about grabbing one, quote this post for a coupon that gives you quite a discount. Also there is free shipping when your order exceeds a certain amount, but it could get cancelled when you use one of the discount codes, making it more expensive than before. I think the second coupon code gives less discount, but won't cancel free shipping but don't quote me on that. Just try it out.

Hope this isn't seen as advertising, cause I'm not affliated with Insert Coins in any way. Just wanted to let people here know about its existence, especially because it's officially licensed and pretty cool (imo).

 

[zephervack]

Decided to open mine and sell my White Destiny unit.

Got Number 3519, not bad at all.

From Canada BTW, seeing other Canadian numbers, it seems like its completely random, I wonder how many units they had for sale in Canada.
