Apologies if already posted but I couldn't find a thread. I was going to wait until Friday to buy the Galactic Purple faceplate from Playstation directly, but checked if you can preorder and strangely enough you can except it doesn't mention preordering anywhere.

Anyway just a heads up! Here is my order and I'll assume the faceplate will be shipped out Friday.

Buy PS5™ Console Covers: Galactic Purple | PlayStation® (UK)

Explore gaming frontiers with new covers for your PS5 console. Pair them with a matching DualSense wireless PS5 controller to complete the look.

I'd buy one, but I never see my PS5. My consoles are hooked up in a media closet and I'm all digital.

I only ever go in there to turn on my Switch, since that won't start by turning on the controller like the other consoles.

 

[RoboFu]

It’s tempting but my ps5 is hidden away behind the tv. So it’s pretty useless for me….



… okay I’m buying the purple ..

Uumm the switch will turn on with the official pro controller and official regular ones. Just hold the home button

Wow. You're right. Thanks, that's a lot of help. I found that super annoying.

Out of Stock (US Store)

 

[Celcius]

I was able to order the black plates on Monday and they'll be here this Friday. At first I was going to go blue but then I realized I'd prefer a darker color.

 

[jm89]

£45 for 2 pieces of plastic. Just take my debit card and call it a day Jim

 

[Danjin44]

with that price.....

 

[Karmic Raze]

So… Who’s getting the Nova Pink?

 

[chromhound]

 

[tommib]

Space grey when.

 

[kyliethicc]

Sony need to make one with the actual PlayStation blue.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

No thanks, love my Dbrand darkplates 2.0.

 

[DonF]

with that price.....

Agreed, i would love to get one, but I would pay $20 tops...

 

[March Climber]

I'll pay that price for Atomic Purple.

 

[iHaunter]

with that price.....

Huh? It's only $50 lol. Are you joking?

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I got myself some sleek black face plates a little while ago. now this?

 

[Danjin44]

Huh? It's only $50 lol. Are you joking?

For me for that price is not worth it.

 

[kiphalfton]

$50 for a couple pieces of plastic. Lol yeah right. White/black PS5 looks fine as is.

 

[THE DUCK]

Wow. You're right. Thanks, that's a lot of help. I found that super annoying.

Hopefully when you built your av cabinet you didn't make the mistake I did and not put in a tube to fish cables. My hdmi 1.3 doesn't cut it anymore and I'm not ripping open the wall to fix the problem. Ended up using it backwards, via an adapter from e-arc at least now I can get atmos with no cable change but the equipment is up front instead of closet (with exception of the receiver) If only I could send myself a message in the past......

 

[Putonahappyface]

Considering the cover hasn't come off since launch, I was impressed with how little the dust had built up. I'll definitely be cleaning twice a year from now on though.

 

[Gaelyon]

I like the colors but it's too expansive and my PS5 is nearly invisible anyway. I'd be more interested at a light wood cover to blend in the PS5 with my furnitures.
Anyway good for you if you like the options.

This looks really good… reminds me of the purple GameCube.

 

[DeepEnigma]

No thanks, love my Dbrand darkplates 2.0.

What up with that glowstand?

[Thabass]

Still waiting for UPS to get their slow ass here to give me my purple ones.

 

[[Sigma]]

[SoloKingRobert]

No thanks, love my Dbrand darkplates 2.0.

 

[OneShotThrill]

Yea no offense those Dbrand 2.0 plates are hideous. The originals were nice.

 

[Brigandier]

I have the black ones, but I'm tempted to get the purple with a purple controller.....

 

[Moses85]

No thanks, love my Dbrand darkplates 2.0.

 

[Spukc]

That price LOOOOOOOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOL

 

[Putonahappyface]

That's pretty close to GC purple. Not bad.

I had a purple GameCube back in the day and that may have subconsciously swayed my colour preference.

 

[MikeM]

All thats missing is xbox green.

 

[Celcius]

Mine just showed up in the mail:

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Huh? It's only $50 lol. Are you joking?

It’s two bits of moulded plastic, are you joking?

 

[REDRZA MWS]

I’m happy with them completely. Grabbed by matte black dual sense too. Only thing ugly as fuck are those massive fins for i apparent reason. Each their own.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Don’t worry, Sony has the exact same fucking plates it launched with but in hot pink, like your panties.

 

[Haggard]

50 bucks for 2 molded pieces of plastic. If that's not the most expensive colouring ever then those cost cents to produce......

 

[Boss Mog]

From the people who brought you the $20 piece of plastic (vertical stands) comes the new $55 piece of plastic.

 

[RPS37]

I’m with the dozens that love their darkplates 2.0.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Do they have plates that make the PS5 look like a normal piece of tech?

That wouldn't stick out like somebody with their balls hanging out their open fly on my entertainment center.

Shitty, bootleg-looking dbrand 2.0s or shitty original plates, aint nothing but a full refresh going to make the current PS5 look normal lol

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Huh? It's only $50 lol. Are you joking?

Are YOU joking lol. You can buy a gamepad for that money, a game....instead you get two pieces of plastic. This couldnt cost more than $25 at best. Safe to say you are the only one in this topic that said price is good XD

[Xeaker]

Would be nice if I could order a PS5 by now LOL
