You know those days when nostalgia just grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go? Today feels like one of those because, guess what? There’s some fresh PlayStation Portable (PSP) merch coming out. Yep, I’m talking about those little handheld wonders we all had glued to our hands back in the day. Oh, and it’s all because of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary shindig—wild, right?
So, this 30th-anniversary bash kind of kicked off in 2024 and has been rolling into 2025 like a freight train full of memories. They tossed in an anniversary sale on games, and if you’ve got a PS5, there’s a themed anniversary gift hanging out in your system, twiddling its virtual thumbs. And yes, there are special editions floating around too. Probably hiding behind your couch or something.
Now, before I forget — which happens way too often — let’s chat about these new PSP goodies. GoodSmile jumped into the arena with their 30th Anniversary PSP collection. We’re talking acrylic stands and keychains here, resembling our beloved PSP-1000s. Fancy, huh? They’re all decked out in white and black, with bits and pieces mimicking those controller buttons and other fun stuff on the PSP screen. You shake ’em, and they rattle! Hence the names “PSP Rattle Acrylic Stand” and “PSP Rattle Acrylic Keychain.” The sound they make is… oddly satisfying. Go figure.
Hang on, let’s not jump the gun. GoodSmile hasn’t spilled the beans about the size of these gems, but they’ve generously shared pics showing every nook and cranny. Interesting trivia: the stands are a homage to monochrome, while the keychains scream color. Pricing? The stands are playing the numbers at 1,760 yen, or about $11.85 for us folks over the pond. Keychains are easier on the digits at 1,320 yen, translating to around $8.89, if currency conversion hasn’t gone haywire. No word on when these hit the shelves, so keep your eyes peeled.
Okay, so maybe you’re thinking, “What if I want something more, you know, usable?” Well, surprise! The 30th Anniversary PS5 goodies are getting restocked. Remember that snazzy DualSense Controller, or maybe the console bundle that came in shades of gray and black? They were snapped up like hot cakes back in November 2024. Pre-orders start July 23. Pro tip: If it tickles your fancy, don’t dawdle. Stuff like this? It vanishes faster than snacks at a party.
Alright, ramble over. Time to dive into the details and visuals of these PSP delights. If I veered off course, sorry, not sorry. Here’s to those spontaneous memory lanes we just can’t get enough of. Cheers!
