I've done nothing to mine.

Dark Plates 2.0 + matte black wrap on the center portion on mine:

Might not be for everyone but I think it looks way better. Matches my Series X nicely now as well.

Somehow reminds me of a thin version of those old alienware cases back in the day.

 

[Art The Clown]

Black plates and the ski style feet. As someone who lays the console horizontal, that fucking stand was always shit and couldn’t wait until they released a better option. Had to suffer almost two months post launch until someone made those ski feet.

 

[DavidGzz]

Not paying for something Sony should have done. It's hiding behind my tv, I forget that ugly bish is there.

 

[Thebonehead]

Sony modded mine for me when they sent it back from repair without it's stand.

Now it floats and moves around with the lightest touch on my TV unit.

 

[Fart Knight]

This thread had me looking at shit

 

[CuteFaceJay]

if she doesn't like the look of the PS5 no amount of side plates are gonna fix that.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Jesus these garbage side plates have no effect on the console and these coolers are total trash too.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ever since I put it behind my TV I just forgot about how it looks. The controller I might change someday though.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Go Galactic Purple.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Go Galactic Purple.

I was looking at them. I like a good purple.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Put Gucci or Channel (or whatever overpriced trash brand women like now) on the panels and she would love it.

PS5 GameCube Edition.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Doesn't seem like much but it's way better in my opinion.

Sony engineers secretly spying on you after you modded your console...

 

[Ar¢tos]

I wish it was a tad darker. My living room wall is light terracotta color, so a tiny bit of brown mixed with that color would make it perfect. But Cosmic Red plates are still the ones I'm going to get next month.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Got a new black controller today.

Also got a new 2650mah battery.
Let's fix the garbage battery life they are coming with.

 

[Kupfer]

I was about to ask who the fuck is modding their PS5 but then I remembered that as soon as I could I also switched to Dark Plates 1.0 and replaced my two white Dualsenses with black ones. IMO the setup looks as it should actually look and fits much more elegant and inconspicuous.

Not my picture, stole it.

Mind sharing a link?

 

[GymWolf]

The accumulated dust make for a nice snowy christmas look.

Danke, any chance you actually measured the "real" capacity before installing?

But nevertheless, once I'm back from vacation I will probably buy two of those, too.

Edit:
Was the polarity of the plug the right way around?
When I replaced my DS4 batteries, I had to swap red and black because the plug was installed the wrong way around

Sorry I don't have any equipment to measure the real capacity.

The black wire has to be on top when you plug It in. Everything was fine.

That's exactly what I'd be thinking about, looks significantly sleeker without the Kaiba collar

Not my mod but my mates mod. He calls it the dog chew look.

 

[jshackles]

I modded mine to fix it so that it turns on now, does that count?

 

[Sleepwalker]

All these mods look like ass. Except the guy with the purple official one. The controller battery mod looks incredible though I might look into that myself.

 

[saintjules]

This thread had me looking at shit

I never understood the fan accessory. Unless you're living in a hut in a jungle somewhere, this is implying that the PS5 isn't doing a sufficient job at cooling itself within the parameters set.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Hey OP, if your setup allows, you could mount your ps5 on the wall behind your TV.

 

[EverydayBeast]

The gaming industry predicted slim and pro versions of the PS5.

 

[Esppiral]

Everything so far looks horrendous

 

[drezz]

I got a PS coloured logo sticker, stick it inside at the top back where it shows through the cut out on the side panel.

Purly for fun.

Don't expect the Pro until the end of this or early next year.

They are just starting the 3nm process.

What's the ski style feet? Do you have a link? The stock stand is so bad in the horizontal position. It slides all over the place.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

1560mah standard battery???

 

[The Stig]

Got a new black controller today.

Also got a new 2650mah battery.

is this hard to do?

 

[reinking]

We have two. The one I typically use is factory white. The other is nova pink cover and nova pink controller. It actually looks pretty good.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

is this hard to do?

Nope.



The bigger problem is to find the batteries itself. Hard to get them outside of europe.

You can even find 4000mah batteries on AliExpress.

But I highly doubt that the real capacity is really 4000mah.

ChewlSense

 

[The Stig]

I bought the official black side panels/plates.

After hearing about those ski feet earlier in the thread Im getting them NOW. I hate the stand and I always have my optical media horizontal. I've seen some horrors.

also getting his retro sticker pack so I can have the old school logo:

Amazon.com

 

[The Stig]

Nope.

looks super easy. shame im in California

 

[Portugeezer]

Got a friend of mine to spray paint the plates at a car body shop.

They are a metallic blue now.

These are the exact ones I got. Had them on since close to launch and love them.

I also have a horizontal stand but can't use It with my black face plates.

This looks so much better than the OEM one. Thanks for sharing--just ordered one for myself.

 

[ReBurn]

I got the ones from dbrand that remove the Seto Kaiba popped collar.

I got them, too. System looks way better without the collar and in all black.

The video is gold.

It looks awesome! but does it affect the airflow/cooling in any way ?

 

[chinoXL]

only thing I've done is grab the OG DBrand Dark Plates before they took them off market. looks a lot better blacked out
