Sony turns to the Dark Side with Darth Vader edition PS4

Darth Vader PS4

There's been an abundance of Star Wars announcements out of Disney's D23 expo this past weekend, but only one on the gaming side of things – Sony is bringing out a Darth Vader-themed PS4 console in time for the release of the hugely anticipated game, Star Wars: Battlefront.

The 1TB console features a fully-customised chassis emblazoned with Darth Vader's visage and the Star Wars logo, as well as a uniquely styled DualShock 4 controller that features a red directional pad, grey thumbsticks and a mix of grey and red face buttons and red and blue shoulder buttons.
