Sony has just unveiled a special edition PlayStation 4 Pro console, featuring a design based on The Last of Us: Part II.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, the Japanese giant has revealed the latest in a long line of limited edition consoles. Most of Sony's exclusive games have received similar treatment, and now it's the turn of the upcoming Naughty Dog sequel. As you can see from these images, the PS4 Pro bears the design of Ellie's tattoo -- a leaf and butterfly image that's embossed into the machine's surface. It's nicely understated. The same design is also seen on the bundled DualShock 4 controller (which will also be sold separately).
In the box, you'll get the console, controller, a physical copy of the game, and a download code for some digital goodies, like a PS4 theme and avatars. It's set to release day and date with The Last of Us 2, and will set you back $399.99.

Alongside the PS4 Pro bundle, Sony is also releasing special editions of a Gold Wireless Headset and a Seagate 2TB external hard drive. Both of these accessories are also adorned with the tattoo design, as well as the game's logo. The headset costs $99.99, while the HDD will retail for $89.99.
This isn't the only Last of Us 2 related announcement Sony's made today. The company has also partnered with a pale ale company to produce a special edition beer. Okay then.
What do you think of these Last of Us 2 hardware editions? Will you plump for a special edition PS4 Pro this late in the generation? Tell us in the comments section below.

Looks nice. I'd imagine this, and perhaps a Ghost of Tsushima version, will be the last special editions of the PS4. I wonder how come you see special editions of the Gold headset, but to my recollection there has never been a Platinum special edition.
Love this console design!
Looks great! Today's the day they announce the PS5 reveal event - I can feel it!
Gosh, do they need to print those texts...
Okay the design is cool, I'm tempted to buy it if ps5 didn't release this year
I'm trying to save an as yet unknown amount of money to buy PS5 so yes the timing is bad.
I'm sure they'll sell plenty though.
It looks great but not suitable for my budget.
Yeah pretty much what everyone else has said, though a bit of a warning about them Sony headsets the build quality isn't great it's probably better forking out a bit more for a better brand imo.
Nah, this is garbage. I wouldn't call this a post apocalyptic look.
Console looks great, but am really not a fan of "THE LAST OF US PART 2" printed on the touchpad
It’s such a classy and slick design - I’m glad they went for something like this rather than just shoving the cover art all over it.
No news yet on if the UK will be getting this edition sadly. It seems a shame as a lot of us fans miss out on great bundles (the Ellie edition) etc due to not living in the US.
It looks absolutely gorgeous, the only flaw that stands out is the writing on the touchpad. That looks a bit out of place, but overall both the console and controllers are stunning.
Very nice. SONY always knows how to make classy hardware that do not blow up your living room set-up.
I have my money saved up for my PS5 pre-order, no other big gaming purchase till then. But still nice
Must resist buying another DualShock to add to the ten I already have 😬
I like it... i like ALot
I may get the gold headset, but have to ask why they went for the golds and not the platinum set? Does that mean LoU2 won't have 3d audio? Otherwise seems a strange decision. I like the designs of all products, but none need to have the games name emblazoned on them
@OhSoEmo
Its a Game UK exclusive I think
The limited editions of ps4 most of the time look like a simple sticker. Xbox limited editions change the entire look. I hope for ps5 they change this.
@Ah-Void The look of the PS5 will shock you i reckon (based on the look of the dual sense). As a result i expect they will be able to be creative with the design in a way they havent been able to with the PS4
@Spoonman-2 thank you so much! I managed to order one very glad we managed to get them over here!
@darksoul77 The Platinum set is built pretty good, but yeah. Had a gold set before and the thing fell apart more and more over time.
I wonder how many of these are being made 🤔
@JesWood13
Had a gold set over two years and use it most days, still like new.
The earlier versions however were awful
@ArmyofOne Yeah, if another $100 more could net you a PS5, and said system is backwards compatible, then you may as well wait! This item is probably aimed at collectors anyway, not so much people like me who are looking to replace the ol' gal PS4 who sounds like a lawnmower at this point in her life.
Too late! I am looking forward to PS5. It is good for people who cannot afford PS5. Not for me. I will pass!
looks great a month left until we are playing it 👍
I’ll get one and a PS5, “For the payers” 🤠
Ill get it if i can get a trade in.
I'll buy it. I mean, I'm not buying a PS5 until it's cheaper like the PS4 did.
Will this only be sold at Game and Amazon?
Really like that it’s molded-into the plastic instead of just printed, but [people with ridiculous expendable income aside] whom would buy this in their right mind so close to the PS5 launch?
Even if I had no PS4 already, it’s not like Sony will be releasing any more PS4 games after GoT, everything else after that will be PS5 exclusives for sure.
Not bad - not bad at all...
too late in the generation for me and no reason to swap my Day1 Pro out for this at this time - but it is one of (if not) the best 'Custom' designs for Playstation this gen in my opinion. Much better than just a sticker and/or colour change!
I'll just slap a butterfly sticker on mine. Stickers are like removable faceplates for my PS4.
That's even better looking than the 500mil and Death Stranding consoles that I have. I need it for no particular reason!!
One of the best special edition PS4's Sony have ever done - haven't liked many of them before TBH but this is great. Won't be buying one as PS5 is so close, mind.
I want one but they do this to us when ps5 is round the corner, so the price of this and ps5 plus ps5 games over a thousand pound easy. Worth it though I'm sure.
It's nice, but also seems pretty pointless.
I mean, whats the point in buying a console at this point so close to next generation?
@Grindagger Collector's really I guess
