platestation 5...custom has no limits....

That's a tasty burger! Is he a bitch? Say what again mutherfucker! Classic Samuel, from a heavily quoted classic movie.

 

[Fbh]

It's renders so time will tell how the actual finished product will look like.

But just based on those renders...damn, pretty much all of them look nicer than the official design lol

 

[IntentionalPun]

lol @ anyone who orders these

Unless you are just rich and bored or something.

You have no clue what the actual end product will look like or if you'll get anything at all... good luck with your credit card companies. They don't even claim to have ever produced any other products on their web site, could be a 100% scam.

If you do get something, when do you think these people would even be able to produce something? They'll need both models to be able to create the 3d models they need to 3d print anything.. and who knows if they know WTF they ae doing.

 

[Vawn]

I'd have to see a review before I trust something some random guy on the Internet made.

 

[sandkiller]

How do we know it's legit and not a scam? Free worldwide shipping seems suspicious to me TBH.

They seem to be owned by Snape Trading Company Limited .

Director is this dude:

Probably gets 80% markup minimum selling these. Easy profit - as long as they don't come up crap (depends on the suppliers)

I think I‘d sooner trust Severus Snape.

 

[INC]

always black, now you see it, you realise how cheap white makes the ps5 look

theyre missing a trick, if they dont let you use a custom colour for the led as well (sony......please)

 

[Tefl0n]

These look really nice. Thanks for sharing.

It’s baffling that Sony isn’t releasing a black PS5.

financially it might make more sense for Sony to keep one color scheme and sell plates

 

[CatLady]

I think I‘d sooner trust Severus Snape.

I'm currently watching all the Harry Potter movies on Peacock so that was my first thought too

 

[FrankWza]

They will

I really don’t understand how people are confused by this. Both consoles will release in the opposite color. Just like always.

He means at launch

 

[shaddam]

Based domain

 

[dorkimoe]

He means at launch

Then how would they trick everyone to buy a new color

 

[Trogdor1123]

Would be great to get some neat ones of these. I'll probably just get black ones once I hear how good they are.

 

[FrankWza]

I know...people do that.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Store, customization looks well.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

can’t lie it does look really fucking good in matte black

Looks infinitely better in black The white is atrocious.

 

[Codes 208]

I may have to make my own. I want my ps5 to look like Cell from DBZ

 

[BusierDonkey]

So much better in black.

Zero manufacturing experience lol

This is just a dude who got the idea for the domain and paid someone to do renders. Probably paid like $1 for the renders on Amazon Mechanical Turk lol

 

[Kamina]

Meh, i prefer the privileged white version.

 

[Pallas]

That black looks amazing... I also like the red and blue plates as well.

I can see Sony selling custom plates of their favorite IP’s, and potential content for collector edition of future games from first and third partydevelopers/publishers.

 

[YCoCg]

The plate itself looks easy to work with, if you don't like the white just get some sand paper and spray paint and make it whatever colour you want.

 

[AGRacing]

"New! From the company that brought you the Escobar Fold 2... !"

JK.. But I'll wait.

 

[Rossco EZ]

Looks infinitely better in black The white is atrocious.

i don’t mind the white version personally but yeah i’ll definitely be switching to black plates as soon as i can!

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Platestation5

 

[ZywyPL]

yeah it’s very clean in that finish! did you not manage to get a pre order?

Nah, after PS4/XB1 generation I don't trust the consoles anymore, I need to see them first hand in the store, play a bit, read the press/user reviews, and then I'll make up my mind to either get them or not. I'll get a free XSX somewhere in December due to recent LG GX deal, but I don't even know if I'll keep it or sell.

 

[Soodanim]

Think of all the official faceplates they will sell! And they put a white one on to encourage sales.

How many will spray paint their panels day one?

 

[Rentahamster]

I want a metal one

 

[kyoji]

ordered the black matte plates, they are selling like hot cakes on that website, i hope they can/are ready to meet demand.

 

[wipeout364]

It’s too bad they are not official it would be nice to have PS5 etched in them. The Black looks so much better than the white. Especially with the blue light strip.

 

[Aidah]

Maybe in a couple of years.

 

[Tajaz2426]

platestation 5...custom has no limits....

Can’t help but chuckle on this one.

 

[The Alien]

The black almost makes this look decent.
(Actually the blue isn't bad either).

Anything other than white. Its almost like its throwing its privilege in our face.

ah i see, that’s fair enough then. & that’s the deal in Poland right?

 

[brap]

Okay but where's my flaming skull smoking a joint and holding two uzis?

I'd prefer one like this but your idea is cool too

 

[skneogaf]

They will have to buy a ps5 then take measurements of the plates, then start the process of making them etc.

 

[ReBurn]

They only had renders on the site last time I looked so I figured it was a scam. But when I get a PS5 I would definitely put matte black faceplates on it.

 

[Shmunter]

FlapStation 5

 

[ZywyPL]

ah i see, that’s fair enough then. & that’s the deal in Poland right?

Yup, exactly the one, a bit of discount on the GX + discount on LG soundbars + free XSX was way to good offer to skip it.

 

[Roufianos]

This is a good business move. They should make LGBT ones for the 10 people who actually game on ResetEra.

 

[-Arcadia-]

I get that Sony was going for a visual brand, one that started with PSVR:

But a single color swap should never make a system look this much better. They missed the target on this one, imo, even if it does look somewhat good in white (upright).

 

[naweednrahman]

I made an order for the Chrome shell.

Btw here's a code for an extra 20pct off PSGAMINGVILLA

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I want the black, but then the controllers would still look the same.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

So I sent the link to my friend (UK) and he order some, just got an email saying

"We're sorry, but we will be unable to fulfill your ordered due to design trademark laws in your country."

and they gave him a full refund.

Like WTF, I mean that sounds shady as hell.

Well if he got the refund so that's good at least.

I ordered the Matte Black before their site went down. They were able to re-confirm my order so that's good at least. They had a trademark issue with Sony. Why that wasn't ironed out prior to launch is anyone's guess.

This is the team and they've been re-tweeted by some known people in the industry. So for now they're OK by me.

 

[Myths]

can’t lie it does look really fucking good in matte black

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I made two orders from Platstation and they were both refunded.

"We're sorry, but we will be unable to fulfill your order due to design trademark laws in your country" United States

 

[Ps5ProFoSho]

Poor guys got the ban hammer from Sony. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

This looks surprisingly good!

If you can't sell those maybe the next best thing for legal business is to start a painting service where people send their plates.

 

[Varnish La PS]

Looks like Jimbo made a arrogant phone call to this PLATESTATION guy.
