Update: The console became available and sold out overnight at most retailers! Hopefully you snagged one, but if you weren't so lucky, you can still pick up the limited edition accessories for it while supplies last: the DualShock 4 Controller (at Best Buy or GameStop and the Gold Wireless Headset. Since you likely already own a PlayStation 4, these would pair perfectly with it. You also might be able to snag the console from B&H or the complete limited edition set as a bundle later today.
It's no secret that Sony is a juggernaut in the video game console market. Since the original PlayStation first went on sale nearly 25 years ago, the company has sold over 500 million systems across the world, taking into account each console iteration. To celebrate the momentous occasion, Sony revealed a Limited Edition PS4 Pro in an old school translucent blue casing. Now when they say limited, they mean it. Only 50,000 of these bad boys are being manufactured, and here's how you can grab one for yourself.
When can I get mine?
The Limited Edition 500 million PS4 Pro will be available at participating retailers starting on August 24 in the United States and Canada, when sales are set to go live. It will be priced at $499.99 USD / $639.99 CAD. This seems a bit costly compared to regular PS4 Pros, but the console packs a 2TB hard drive and includes a PlayStation camera.
We've compiled a list of known retailers expected to carry the console. We'll update this page if/when more pop up. Some listings are already live without the ability to purchase while other store pages appear to have been removed. These should go live once sales do.

If you're unable to purchase one through official retailers, you may need to contend with scalpers on the market. Since that's certainly not appealing to anyone, we've got you covered with some other suggestions on what to pick up if you didn't get a hold of a coveted 500 million PS4 Pro.
