PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition, the Digital model with a 1TB SSD and a grey finish inspired by the first PlayStation, is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 113,000. Made by Sony to mark three decades since the original console launched in December 1994, the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition pairs standard PS5 Slim hardware with a limited colour scheme, a matching DualSense controller and a set of throwback extras. Every unit is brand new and sealed. You can see the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition at our showroom on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for collectors and long-time gamers across Kenya, the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition suits buyers who remember playing PS1 games at neighbourhood gaming joints in Nairobi and Mombasa and now want a console that carries that memory. It plays the full PS5 library at up to 4K and 120 frames per second, so it is a daily console, not a shelf piece. The catch for some buyers is the missing disc drive. Games come from the PlayStation Store, or you can add the PS5 Disc Drive for KSh 17,000 and play physical discs too.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list limited editions they cannot show, Mascom International keeps the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition on the shelf for inspection before payment. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady interest from collectors and from parents buying a family console that also looks good under the TV. Customers across Nairobi tell us the grey finish draws more attention in a living room than the standard white model. Visit the store to check the sealed box, or order by WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition
How much is the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition in Kenya?
The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition costs KSh 113,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the 1TB Digital console, the matching limited DualSense controller, the vertical stand, the cables and the collector extras, plus a 12-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over money only once the box is in your hands. The standard PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition costs KSh 100,000 here, so the anniversary styling and accessories add KSh 13,000.
Is the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition a Digital or Disc console?
The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition is a Digital model, so it has no built-in disc drive. Sony includes a matching grey cover for the area where the optional drive fits, which keeps the side looking finished. You buy and download games from the PlayStation Store, or you can attach the PS5 Disc Drive, which Mascom International sells for KSh 17,000. Once attached, the console reads PS5 discs, PS4 discs, Blu-ray films and DVDs. The drive needs an internet connection once to pair with the console.
Should I buy the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition or the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition?
Pick the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition for the collector design, and the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition at KSh 110,000 if you mostly buy physical games. Both run the same processor and graphics, so games look and play the same. The Disc Edition reads discs out of the box and suits buyers who trade used games with friends. The anniversary console costs KSh 3,000 more, has no drive, and adds the grey limited controller, stand and throwback extras. Adding a disc drive to it brings the total to KSh 130,000.
Will the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition cope with KPLC power cuts and Nairobi heat?
The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition handles Kenyan conditions well with two simple precautions. Plug it into a surge protector or a UPS, because a sudden KPLC outage during a save or system update can corrupt data. A UPS gives you time to save and shut down properly. For heat, leave space around the vents and keep it off carpets. In dusty estates or humid Mombasa, wipe the vents every few weeks and keep the console on an open shelf rather than inside a closed cabinet.
How do I buy games for the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition in Kenya?
You buy games for the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition through a PlayStation Network account, then download them over your home internet. The PlayStation Store has no dedicated Kenyan storefront, so most local players open an account on a supported region such as the UK and pay with PlayStation Store gift cards. Downloads are large, so a fibre line from Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku makes life easier than mobile data bundles. Ask our staff for setup tips when you collect the console.
Is the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition worth it in Kenya?
The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition is worth it if the design matters to you, since the gaming hardware matches the standard Slim. Sony made it as a limited run in November 2024 to celebrate the original console, and it was never part of the regular line-up. Buyers throughout Kenya report keeping the box, poster and stickers stored safely, because complete sets hold more appeal for collectors. If you only care about playing games, the standard Digital model saves you KSh 13,000.
Can the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition play games in 4K at 120fps?
Yes, the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition outputs up to 4K resolution and supports up to 120 frames per second over HDMI 2.1. You need a TV or monitor with an HDMI 2.1 port to get 120fps at 4K, and many games let you choose between a sharper quality mode and a smoother performance mode. Titles such as Gran Turismo 7 and EA Sports FC run on the same AMD hardware found in every PS5 Slim, with hardware ray tracing for realistic lighting.
Who should buy the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition, and who should skip it?
The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition suits collectors, longtime PlayStation fans and anyone who wants a living-room console with a story behind it. Skip it if you buy most games on disc and swap them with friends; the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition at KSh 110,000 fits you better. Skip it too if you want sharper graphics on a large 4K TV, because the PlayStation 5 Pro at KSh 190,000 offers far more graphics muscle. Budget buyers can look at the PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB at KSh 36,000.
Technical Specifications
Processor and Graphics
- Custom AMD 8-core Zen 2 processor running up to 3.5GHz — handles game logic, physics and crowds without slowing the action.
- AMD RDNA 2 graphics with 36 compute units at up to 2.23GHz — the chip that draws every frame you see on screen.
- 10.28 teraflops of graphics performance — a measure of raw drawing speed, identical to every other PS5 Slim model.
- Hardware ray tracing — lighting, shadows and reflections behave the way real light does, rather than looking painted on.
- 16GB GDDR6 memory with 448GB/s bandwidth — fast memory that feeds textures to the graphics chip so detailed worlds load smoothly.
- Backward compatibility with most PS4 games — your older digital library carries over, often with faster loading and steadier frame rates.
Storage
- 1TB built-in SSD — solid-state storage with no moving parts, so games load in seconds instead of minutes.
- Part of the 1TB is reserved for system software — usable space for games is lower than the label, as on every console.
- M.2 NVMe expansion slot supporting drives up to 8TB — add a compatible SSD later when your library outgrows the built-in space.
- External USB drive support for PS4 games — move older titles to cheaper storage and keep the internal SSD for new releases.
- 512MB DDR4 cache beside the SSD — a small buffer that speeds file handling in the background while you play.
- Astro's Playroom pre-installed — a free platform game that shows off the controller and console from the first boot.
Display Output
- HDMI 2.1 output — the modern TV connection needed for 4K at 120 frames per second and variable refresh rate.
- Up to 4K resolution — four times the detail of Full HD, which stays sharp on large living-room TVs.
- Up to 120fps support — smoother motion in shooters and racing games on compatible screens.
- HDR support — brighter highlights and deeper shadows on HDR-capable televisions.
- Variable refresh rate on compatible TVs — the screen matches the console frame rate, cutting tearing and stutter.
- Blu-ray and DVD film playback with the optional PS5 Disc Drive attached — the console doubles as a home cinema player.
Controllers
- Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller in the anniversary grey scheme — matches the console for a complete collector look.
- Haptic feedback — fine vibrations let you feel surfaces such as gravel, mud or rain through your hands.
- Adaptive triggers — L2 and R2 push back with varying resistance, like drawing a bow or braking hard into a corner.
- Built-in microphone and speaker — quick voice chat without a headset, plus sound effects played straight from the controller.
- USB-C charging — top up the controller from the console or a USB-C charger using the included cable.
- Compatible with standard DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers — add a second controller for local multiplayer with family or friends.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi 6 — faster and steadier wireless downloads and online play when paired with a modern router.
- Gigabit Ethernet port — a wired connection for the most stable online matches and quickest downloads.
- Bluetooth 5.1 — connects compatible wireless accessories without extra adapters.
- USB-C ports on the front and USB-A ports on the back — charge controllers and connect drives, cameras and accessories.
- Remote Play with PlayStation Portal — stream your console games to the handheld anywhere in the house over Wi-Fi.
- Measures 358 x 216 x 80mm and weighs about 2.6kg — the Digital Slim fits shelves and TV stands comfortably.
