Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of PlayStation with Nostalgic PSP Merch

Alright, let’s talk about something here; I stumbled upon this little nugget of information that might just tickle your nostalgia bone—if that’s even a thing. If you remember the PSP, yeah, that little handheld buddy, then listen up. It seems like there’s some fresh PSP merch coming, all thanks to PlayStation tipping its hat to 30 years of gaming goodness.

Now, here’s where it gets kinda fuzzy. The celebration started back in 2024. We’re now rolling into 2025, which feels both too fast and not fast enough. Anyway, this bash includes a sale and even a slick theme for the PS5. Oh, and some special edition stuff hit the shelves—fans probably went bananas trying to snag those.

Back to the beloved PSP. It isn’t getting the cold shoulder—thank goodness! GoodSmile, ever heard of them? They’ve got a 30th Anniversary PSP lineup that’s got fans buzzing. We’re talking acrylic stands and keychains here. They look like mini versions of the PSP-1000, and you can grab them in black or white. I’m not sure why this detail makes me smile, but these things shake and make a rattle noise with acrylic pieces modeled after those classic PSP icons. Like, you shake them, and they sound ridiculous. Why is that so fun?

Now, wait, I almost lost my spot here—details! GoodSmile hasn’t exactly dropped the size specs yet, but they’ve got some images floating around. Stands have these monotone icons, whereas the keychains are a party of color. Pricing is kinda specific too. The stand goes for 1,760 yen—that’s about $11.85 if we’re converting. Keychains are a bit cheaper at 1,320 yen, which makes them around $8.89. But still no release date! GoodSmile just teasing us, aren’t they?

For those hunting for stuff with a bit more… utility, I guess, keep an eye on the PS5 anniversary products. DualSense controllers, console bundles, and something whimsically named the PlayStation Portal are getting restocked. These went off the shelves in November 2024. They’re up for grabs—or will be—starting July 23. So, if you’re itching for them, or the quirky rattling items, you’d better be ready. These are gonna vanish faster than snacks at a party.

There, did I manage to cram in enough chaos for one read? Hope so.
