  • 30th Anniversary Plates for people who currently own PS5 consoles
  • No memory card-shaped USB C storage drives
    • I get that they couldn't run PS5 games, but we'll get to that in a minute
  • Great opportunity to relaunch PS1 Classics on the PlayStation Store
    • PS2 classics could have launched in March
  • Optional PS1 Boot up theme for PS5
    • PS2 Boot up theme in March
  • I think they should have made the PS5 Portal's anniversary edition OLED and priced it accordingly
  • 12,300 PS5 Pro bundles is probably way too few. They could have just as easily sold 123,000, either way they were going to sell out in minutes
    • Even if these were limited to the US, that would be 246 per state...
  • They could have announced the development of some classic IP, even if these things weren't going to release for another 5-6 years and weren't even specifically named. Just the greenlighting of them would win some favor short term

The 12300 consoles is ridiculous.

This should have been the standard PS5 Pro.

No chance we are getting hold of that.

Scalpers will snatch them and sell on Ebay for 2000 pounds.

-No new PS+ Extra & Premium drops of classic PS1, PS2 & PS3 games (one each platform)
-No new 1P exclusive (internal or with 3P) announcement (not yet anyway, and not likely)
-No revival of PS Experience
