You might think that getting a PlayStation 5 for just $1 is too good to be true, but one lucky buyer will be able to pick themselves up a rare edition thanks to a kind retailer - but you've only got 12 hours to throw your hat in the ring.

Having a PlayStation 5 can open up a whole new world of gaming for you, as you'll be able to access almost all of the biggest titles releasing - including the highly anticipated launch of GTA 6 later this year.

Unfortunately one of the biggest barriers of entry is the price, as you'll have to drop hundreds of dollars to get your hands on a new console - and that doesn't account for any games or accessories on top which might also be going up in price if industry analysts are to be believed.

There are sometimes competitions that you can enter to significantly cut down the cost though, and one recent raffle might just let you grab your own PS5 Pro for just $1. Make sure to be quick though, as you've got less than 12 hours to enter!

As reported by Comicbook.com, online retailer StockX is currently running a competition with a PlayStation 5 Pro as the prize - only it's even more exciting than that. Not only are you getting the enhanced version of PlayStation's newest console, but it's also the special 'Anniversary' colorway which only had 12,300 units produced worldwide.

This particular version left many fans frustrated as scalpers jacked the price up on secondhand marketplaces, with listings reaching upwards of $4,000 thanks to the artificial scarcity.

On top of this you'll get an additional DualSense 5 controller (in the same colorway, of course), alongside an external disk drive for the console and a charging station for the controllers. Overall the retail price of the bundle is estimated to be around $1,000, meaning that you'd be paying 0.1% of the true price if you did manage to win.

All you need to do is bid $1 to enter yourself into the raffle, with the competition closing today, February 14, at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT.

Of course, your chances of actually winning aren't going to be great as many others will have the exact same idea, but you never know when lady luck might favor you and land you with the prize.

What's more, there's functionally no downsides for entering the competition as you'll only be charged $1 if you win, so it's a win win situation that you'd be silly to pass up.
