They look pretty slick.

 

[Secktor Visage]

everything all black

 

[xHunter]

black and red looks nice, will probably one of those two

 

[lh032]

DAT PURPLE.

 

[Irobot82]

Mother heck. Can we just buy the panels?

 

[Midn1ght]

Mother heck. Can we just buy the panels?

YES.

These new console covers are beautiful and easy to use — simply remove your original white PS5 console covers and click your new ones into place. The PS5 console covers will be available for both the PS5 with the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive and the PS5 Digital Edition and are sold separately from the PS5 console and DualSense controller.

It's gonna be 54.99. LOL

I read through the article quickly but it’s early in the morning and didn’t see any prices for the covers.
No mention for it ?

Edit : nvm found the link for the price

55$ US lol.

man I bought a third party one off a guy on market place brand new for 20$. Perfectly fit without any cosmetic defects.

 

[reksveks]

Mother heck. Can we just buy the panels?

I think you can but they haven't dropped the price yet.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Those look nice

 

[Quasicat]

everything all black

I just need to be able to walk in and be able buy one now. Hopefully after Christmas.

 

[Banjo64]

Fucking great! They’ve made them much cheaper than d-brand too. I just hope they don’t do a 1:1 conversion. £39.99 and I’m in for black. The rest look a bit garish but I’ll wait to see how the sky blue looks in videos. This is miles better than LE consoles.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

They look tasty.

Spoiler

Gimme the PS5 Slim already

 

[DForce]

Nice colors.

I wish they make a PS1 themed cover soon.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Scalper inventory in 5,4,3,2…1

 

[Miles708]

So tacky. Imagine living with a pink gigantic blob in your living room, lol.

Black is nice.

 

[Bulletbrain]

Ah the long awaited hardware micro-transactions

But I dig that purple. Looks sweet!

 

[RoboFu]

$60 for two pieces of plastic lol.

I’ll buy

 

[Kokoloko85]

Black is the only one I will get Or an og PS1 cover.

 

[Kilau]

Finally, will blend in easier.

 

[sircaw]

Cant Sony just put these on the consoles themselves and sell the whole damn thing as one unit.

The black case looks super duper

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Honestly surprised Sony isn't charging 100$.

 

[GrayDock]

Nice, but I miss a darker blue and a PSX gray. Please launch a PSX Gray Dualsense....

 

[Punished Miku]

Little expensive for pieces of plastic that I wouldn't even be interested in buying if the initial system offering wasn't so ugly.

But I guess it's neat that it's an option. First PS console with this type of customization officially.

 

[splattered]

Look nice! I'm surprised they waited this long though and didn't release any sort of special edition tie-in with them for a bit more money. Nice spiderman plates or something.

 

[reksveks]

 

[Midn1ght]

Honestly surprised Sony isn't charging 100$.

100$ Forbidden West Limited Edition Cover incoming.

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

Good marketing. Sell the basic colour then get a load of mostly good press (and print free money) when you release the other colours.

I will obviously buy some but a blind man could have seen this coming.

For anyone that hasn't added a SSD the covers clip off very easily so this will be a 1 min job.

 

[MikeM]

If I get the black covers, then i’d have to buy black controllers. No way in hell am I running a black PS5 with white controllers.

$55 + $90 = $145 to change colours. Maybe the white isn’t so bad.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Awesome. Big fan of these.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Can't believe it took them 1 year to produce some colored plastic plates.

Edit: What? 55 dollars? For some plastic? That's worse than the scalpers. Was expecting like 20 bucks.

 

[SSfox]

Can someone who don't have ps5 yet just buy a black ps5 right away? Cause it will huge BS if people have to spent 600$ to buy a black ps5.

 

[Aaron Olive]

$55 dollars for 1 dollar of stamped plastic guess ill let my PS5 be white a little longer.

 

[Ellery]

I am on the fence whether I want it or not. Kinda looking at the black panels because of the black DualSense I already have, but then again it is another 55$

Glad for all those people that have been desperately waiting for customization.

 

[TintoConCasera]

They look cool, specially red and black ones imo.

That said... Couldn't you just remove yours and apply a coat of paint?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I ordered the black one.

 

[user1337]

damn it.....

Can't decide which one I like more.... Black, Red, or Purple..

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

THe black ones look sliiiiiiiick

 

[RoboFu]

I’m probably in the minority but I really want them to put LEs for big games.

 

[Skifi28]

Too expensive for 2 pieces of plastic, but whatever.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Galactic Purple. Yes.

 

[SSfox]

If I get the black covers, then i’d have to buy black controllers. No way in hell am I running a black PS5 with white controllers.

$55 + $90 = $145 to change colours. Maybe the white isn’t so bad.

I just want them to release a full black ps5 w black pads ect. No way I'm spending extra money for this, that's some weird amiibo lvl shit, but if they release full black ps5 it def will be interesting.

 

[Warnen]

So smart, make it ugly sell you the solution.

bought my brother black one for late Xmas gift

 

[Elios83]

Finally! It was just a matter of time.
But I'm not really interested in plain and simple colour variations.
I want some cool limited editions based on games like Horizon, God of War, GT7, FFXVI.

 

[DaGwaphics]

everything all black

Praise the Lord. At least it won't look like an alien toy.

 

[rickybooby87]

I am sorta glad that there were all of the other plates offered by groups other than Sony (Obviously got dunked on by Sony in the end) as I think it sets the price/market for faceplates. I imagine the initial price was probably going to be higher than this, honestly not all that bad.

These types of accessories have HUGE profit margins, for any company really.

 

[FrankWza]

First PS console with this type of customization officially.

Launch PS4 had themed HDD bay covers

 

[Saber]

The scarlet and purple ones are really pretty. Black is a good standart, while the rest are real trash.

 

[RPS37]

Having second thoughts about my darkplates purchase….

 

[J3nga]

Piece of shitty plastic will be "in deficit" and everyone will be losing their minds to get it.
