Special Features of the PlayStation®4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition
This limited edition comes in a translucent design in dark blue, and when the power is switched on and the blue light is brightly lit inside the system, users can enjoy the beautifully sophisticated architecture of the PS4 Pro, only possible because of this special translucent design.

Elaborately designed details
The PS family mark on the top surface and the PS4 logo on the PS4 Pro’s front are in a mat textured copper colour that matches the dark blue translucent design, giving a premium look. Every PS4 Pro features a plate on the lower right-hand corner of the system’s front-side, each inscribed with an individual number from 1 to 50,000. This unique number will remind the lucky owners that their PS4 Pro is the only one of this edition in the world.

Unified designed accessories
The bundled accessories include a wireless controller (DUALSHOCK®4), PlayStation®Camera, vertical stand, and the mono headset which are also translucent in the same dark blue. The DUALSHOCK®4’s sleek design comes in a half translucent and half mat design, with the “△○×□” and PS family mark in a special colour. Similar to the PS4 Pro system, the light bar of the wireless controller softly lights the inner-structure of the grip.

In the same dark blue colour, the “Gold Headset 500 Million Limited Edition” has a matching bronze PS family mark on both sides of the headset with translucent designed speaker housings.
