Even after months since its release in November, the PlayStation 5 is still in hot commodity, so much so that fans have resorted to purchasing its empty packaging sans the console itself.

Getting on board the hype train is none other than designer brand, Balenciaga, who decided to team up with Sony for a merch collection that centers around the PlayStation 5.

However, if you thought the PS5 itself was pricey, then you’d be surprised to know that the merch costs even more than the console.

The PS5 themed collection starts at USD675 (RM2,783) for a t-shirt, which is over RM300 more than the PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive.

There is also a USD875 (RM3,607) black hoodie with PS5 motifs and a huge Balenciaga logo.

While it’s nothing new to see luxury brands jumping into the streetwear game and slapping a hefty price on the products, you’d expect the design to look cooler than this current drop especially since it’s a collab with Sony.

But, if you can afford it and you’re a fan of the two brands, then by all means, get it here!
