Party like it's 1995 with PlayStation 20th anniversary DualShock 4 controllers

The special 20th anniversary edition PlayStation 4 may be all but lost to the gods of time, space and exorbitant eBay prices, but even those of us stuck with Sony-standard black can have a taste of the '90s with a 20th anniversary edition DualShock 4. Announced in June, the controllers are now available for pre-order on Amazon for $64.99, with a tentative release date of September 30 - 20 years to the month after the original PlayStation debuted in the US and UK.

Personally, I'm a big fan of putting the original PlayStation logo on the center button of the controller. Just looking at it brings back tons of memories, and I can almost hear the twinkling startup noise. I bet the controller would go great with this PS4 decal that turns the console into something resembling an original PlayStation, too.
