Here’s what to do if you didn’t get a 500 million PS4 Pro

You may have missed out on one of the limited edition PS4 Pros celebrating 500 million consoles sold, but there are still plenty of others to fill that hole in your heart.

To celebrate 500 million PlayStation consoles sold since the original’s release in 1994, Sony unveiled a new limited edition translucent PS4 Pro. Only 50,000 of these systems were made available to consumers, meaning you had to be quite lucky to snag one for yourself. You may still have a shot at purchasing one on eBay, but because scalpers are the bane of any good collector’s existence, the prices are astronomical compared to its $500 retail price tag.

While you mourn your unfortunate circumstances, here are a few suggestions of what you can buy instead. Some of these are marked up from their original prices because the consoles have since been discontinued, but a little extra money can be worth it for collectors.

Limited edition headset only ($100)

Though you may have missed out on the console itself, the 500 million limited edition headset is being sold separately. Thankfully there is much more stock of these so you’ll have an actual chance of grabbing a pair.

Limited edition DualShock 4 controller only ($65)

Like the headset, retailers are also selling the 500 million limited edition DualShock 4 controller separately as well. Again, these will be much easier to grab than the console itself which sold out in mere minutes.

Being one of the most acclaimed games to release in recent years, God of War deserves nothing less than a quality limited edition console. Both the console and controller come in a silver finish along with markings inspired by Kratos’ axe.

Days of Play PS4 Slim

This isn’t a PS4 Pro, but it’s a nice little commemoration of PlayStation’s accomplishments and a thank you to its players. The Days of Play PS4 Slim features a royal blue casing with the controller’s iconic face buttons adorning it in gold. Though it’s technically discontinued, you can still grab it from sellers on Amazon.
