Sony Japan is restricting PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition preorders to those with 30 hours of run-time on their PSN accounts.

While PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition preorders sparked a flurry of eBay listings with huge mark-ups in the West, in Japan Sony has an actual plan to beat the scapers.

As spotted by Automaton, the Japanese PlayStation homepage confirms that anyone who wants to preorder the PS5 Pro 30th anniversary edition in Japan has to meet the following conditions: have a PSN account registered in Japan, and have at least 30 hours of PS4 or PS5 runtime on the account between February 2014 and September 19, 2024.
