In the world of video games, there are some collectors that get really serious about collecting every single console they can get their hands on. It’s a fun way to build a collection and get a variety of consoles in order to play every game that you might be interested in. Then, there are some people that are really dedicated to collecting all the limited-edition versions of consoles, which can get pretty difficult and expensive.

Sony’s line of different PlayStation consoles — from the original PlayStation to handheld consoles like the PS Vita and PSP — has been around since the first console launched in the 1990s. These consoles have become popular in the gaming world for the fun games they have and a lot of them have gotten special limited-edition versions. Some of them have even become really rare.

Updated on December 3, 2024, by Mackenzee Hardyk: The PlayStation limited edition consoles are all quite fascinating and unique in their own ways. Now, with the newest PlayStation Anniversary Bundle, it’s fun to look back at all the previous limited edition consoles and see how they have changed from year to year. To celebrate Sony producing PlayStation consoles for 30 years, we’ve decided to add a few new entries to the list.

19 Sony PlayStation 2 Ocean Blue Console

Worth: $250

This version of the PlayStation 2 is called the Ocean Blue model. It looks somewhat similar to the regular version of the PlayStation 2 but instead of having opaque black plastic, it has a semi-transparent, navy blue plastic casing.

This version of the console was exclusively released in Japan. There were a pretty good number of them made, but the fact that it was a region-exclusive console makes it hard to get for a lot of gamers now. Still, the semi-transparent plastic of the console and controller are pretty cool. Picking up one of these can set you back around $250 now.

18 PSP Limited Edition Hannah Montana

Worth: $320

Video games based on movies and TV shows have been around forever. These games can be either really good or not-so-great, but a lot of them become collector’s items because of the fact that they have a special connection to another piece of media. In 2009, the PSP game Hannah Montana: Rock Out the Show featuring the Disney Channel character launched alongside a limited edition lavender PSP.

These days, this limited edition Hannah Montana purple PSP has become quite a collector’s item. Most of the people collecting this handheld console probably want it for the unique color, but it’s pretty cool either way. In order to get your hands on one, prepare to pay about $321.

17 Sony PS Vita Slim Minecraft

Worth: $338

Minecraft is a sandbox-style open-world game that allows you to do whatever you want. You can build, explore, and face off against various types of enemies.

14 PSP God Of War Entertainment Pack Red

Worth: $750

Although everyone may be talking about the 2018 God of War game that launched for the PS4 in 2018, the limited edition PSP that celebrated the launch of God of War: Chains of Olympus back in 2008 has become super rare as well.

12 Sony PSX

Worth: $899

The Sony PSX is a special type of console. It was exclusively released in Japan in 2003, and it’s more than simply a console, although it does have a PlayStation 2 built-in. The console was marketed as a whole entertainment system. It was a PlayStation 2, a DVR, and a DVD player all in one.

This console cost the equivalent of around $720 when it launched. This high price stopped it from becoming particularly popular with the non-gaming market in Japan. Being exclusive to one country and relatively unpopular has made them rare and getting one now will cost you $899.
