It's PlayStation's 30th anniversary, and to celebrate Sony has put its console design team to work creating Shapes of Play - a series of absurdly priced boxes full of, er, various shapes.
The big one here is Shapes of Play: Create, an $80 collection of 13 magnetic wooden blogs that form the four shapes that have defined the face of PlayStation controllers for 30 years. As the store page puts it, these blocks were "created by the team behind the design of PlayStation consoles." Clearly the PS5 Pro must be ready for launch if the design team is doing side projects now, right? The gimmick with these blocks is that they can stand upright on their own, and you can use the magnets to stick 'em together in various configurations.
