Sony has announced it's released a 20th Anniversary Edition of its PS4 console to celebrate its milestone birthday

The new model, which comes in the same 'Original Grey' finish as the very first PlayStation that launched back in Japan on December 3, 1994, will be available in extremely limited quantities for €499. Just 12,300 of the consoles will be released worldwide, to reflect the launch date of the original console.Sony has yet to reveal how you'll be able to get your hands on the console, though in Europe it apparently won't be through traditional retail channels. For North America, full details about how and where you'll be able to place a pre-order will be revealed at this weekend's PlayStation Experience, during the opening keynote that takes place December 6 at 10am PT / 1pm ET.We'll be on the ground at the event bringing you all the news as it breaks so, as soon as we know more, you'll be able to read it right here. In the meantime, join us as we reminisce about 20 years that have helped shaped the industry we all love.
