Wonder if Black would have shown it as much.

 

[Fbh]

Honestly yours seems like a none issue. A struggled to see it in the pictures.

Those tweets though, yeah that looks terrible

consoles are designed to be cheap toys imo. As much as the makers try to glam them up, dont expect too much for 399/499.

Thats why it is better to keep the design simpler.

that said, even Sony >$1k phones have QC problems, search xperia 1ii pain peeling.

Well you shouldn't have licked the case so much, only you are to blame.

 

[Kuranghi]

True. We all know the saying: "Black don't... discolour over time"

 

[Dodkrake]

Did you read the OP or just read the thread title look at the pictures then jump to conclusions? Unless you are talking about those twitter FUD posts then i apologize.

Talking about the twitter inbreads spreading BS, like Gavin Stevens .

Those look like chips from drops not peeling

I would be more concerned about sanding and refinishing that piece of furniture.


This is not an insult so don't take it that way. I actually enjoy refinishing furniture.

The tweets look like a heat problem.

The tweets look like a heat problem.

Using a lighter on the outside of the shell would do that.

Making a fuss about NOTHING.Can not see anything in that picture,lock this thread.

 

[RPSleon]

Dont see how people cant see it. Those pictures are clear enough.

Noticed it on mine today before reading this. I have the slightly lighter white patch appearing.

 

[Danieljay1]

So after seeing a few people post concerns with "burn" spot on there PS5 shells i started to take a close look at mine. I did notice a small area of discoloration arounf the center of the left panel in almost the same spot as othere have complained about. Now mine was very minor and was in a perfect circle as you can make out in the pictures. It has a pure white color to it in that circle and the rest of the panel is greyish. I poped of the panel to see if it was heat related and what i found was quite interesting. There is a circle shaped grove on the inside of the panel in the exact spot of the outside discoloration. The plastic is way thinner here and it is also the focal point of the entire warped shape to the shell. There were no indication of overheating on the inside and every time i felt the system in that spot during play it was warm at worst. My conclusion is that the contort of the shell with minor heat coupled with the thin plastic in that area is whats causing the color change (like when you bend plastic). Annoying but nothing to be concerned about and a shell swap or paint job will easily fix the issue.

I just checked mine because of this post and mine is the same wonder what it could be

 

[Business]

TBH the only discoloration I saw was on the TV cabinet.

 

[Camreezie]

That's the price you pay for being an early adopter

Dude chill, who is making a fuss? Did you even read the OP?

 

[Danieljay1]

Mines in the same spot on both sides

 

[RPSleon]

This is it on mine. Its not much. Dont know if its been there the whole time or not.

Youre looking for that slightly whiter patch.

 

[Danieljay1]

Wonder what it could be

 

[Portugeezer]

Mine is faintly turning whiter.

Must be running so cool.

 

[Resenge]

If this is to do with heat and with the outside having an pretty sizeable air gap between the inner case and the outer shell being pretty thick itself, there would have to be a pretty big heat source to do the damage I have seen in these tweets, If so the inner case would be practically melting, so where are the pics of that damage? Surely that would be much more damning.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

What does it matter you can replace it cheap soon with something cooler for sure. And everyone who buys a launch console should consider the risk. I got two rrod in the first year of the 360 and people complain about discoloration ✌

 

[Foamy]

Oh so people have gone from blowing vape into their Series X to shitting on their PS5..

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Same thing on mine. Look on the inside of the panel theres a circle divit in the same spot.

No one is complaining just trying to highlight its not from heat.

I dont know if people are being weirdly defensive or genuinely need to set their white balance up properly.

People acting like OP is making personal attacks.

 

[skneogaf]

You can definitely see it, it's interesting to see fanatics denying it.

Its making me defensive lol, i just wanted to share what i have seen personally on the issue and to ease peoples minds about the proceived heat problem.

I'll say it. Furniture looks like shit. OP can feel insulted. ;]

 

[LOLCats]

i have a spot on mine in the same location, havnt checked if its growing or changing colors though

 

[Ðuelist]

Good lord do you have nothing better to do. Go play something.

 

[kingwingin]

Mine had it out of the box, probably from injection molding.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Good lord do you have nothing better to do. Go play something.

Already beat Astro bot, Demon Souls and am halfway through Days Gone. Just chilling watching football. Why so defensive?

I didnt notice it from out of the box but i didnt really look either. This is good to know thanks for the info!

 

[molly14]

Just be pleased you have managed to get the ps5 instead of moaning about nothing.

 

[M.Night Shyamalan]

Oh noes! Quite clearly it's the end of the world!!!

 

[phil_t98]

Go look at controlfell on insta , they posted a pic of ps5 and you can see summit on there to

maybe just a fault in the plastic?

 

[LOLCats]

Oh noes! Quite clearly it's the end of the world!!!

but it could be a tumor

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

State of that big toe.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

I'm not complaining, you all either didn't read the OP or have horrible reading comprehension.

 

[DESTROYA]

You can definitely see it, it's interesting to see fanatics denying it.

It's not being a fanatic if you cant see shit from the pics OP posted .
They other guy that posted pics it's noticeable not the OP's.
It's still a non issue getting a small patch of discoloration so stop making it a bigger deal than it is......and it's definitely not a big deal .

No one is making it a big deal except for a few outlandish twitter posts.

Just goes to show what a garbage dump Twitter is, the quicker people drop Twitter the better off everyone will be.

I remember the first time I took the lid off my pro the check the dust and on the underside it looks like someone has attacked it with wire wool in about 3 places.

Probably something they do in manufacturing to identify certain parts or QA.
