Commemorative PlayStation 30th Anniversary Merch Honors the PSP

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version:

—

Alright, so if you’re a PlayStation Portable (PSP) fan, something’s brewing that might just tickle your nostalgia bone. Apparently, they’re rolling out fresh merch to shout out to the PSP’s legacy. All this jazz is part of PlayStation turning the big 3-0. I mean, 30 years—wow, right?

Anyway, the party started in 2024 and just keeps rolling in 2025. They slashed game prices, slapped a snazzy theme on the PlayStation 5, and even dropped some special editions. And yup, if you’re wondering, the home consoles are hogging the spotlight. But fret not, our beloved handheld isn’t pushed to the corner.

GoodSmile is stepping in with a nostalgia bomb: the PlayStation 30th Anniversary PSP collection. Think acrylic stands and keychains – they’re cute little 3D models of the OG PSP-1000s in classic black and white. And here’s the quirky part – they jingle. Each piece has loose acrylic bits inside, like the PSP buttons, and they rattle around. They’re dubbing them the “PSP Rattle” series. Who knew a keychain could make music, right?

Oh, wait, they haven’t spilled the beans on the size yet. But, they tossed out some pics. The stands are all monochrome, while the keychains pop with color. Prices? You’re looking at 1,760 yen (that’s about 12 bucks in the U.S.) for the stands and around 9 bucks for the keychains. No launch date yet — GoodSmile’s keeping us dangling.

Now, if you’re like me and prefer something more… um, functional, they’re restocking some PS5 goodies for this anniversary hullabaloo. The 30th Anniversary DualSense, console bundle, and the PlayStation Portal — all decked out in grayscale nostalgia — sold out last November, but they’re coming back for pre-order on July 23. Whether you’re eyeing the playful acrylics or these restocked classics, jump on it fast! Stuff’s bound to fly off the shelves.

Anyway, over in the tech nitty-gritty department, did you know the original PSP hit shelves in March 2005? It rocked a $249 price tag back then and weighed under 10 ounces. Seriously, just carrying all the memories along with that little device. Ah, good times.

So yeah, stay sharp for these retro goodies. And maybe grab some popcorn while you wait or whatever floats your boat.
