I'm not generally one to jump on a new console at launch unless there is some killer-app that I just can't wait to play (e.g. Breath of the Wild launching with the Switch), but with the PS5 I was tempted because I could take advantage of some generous trade-in specials toward the new console. After all, since it will have near-total backwards compatibility with my PS4 library, I'll have no reason whatsoever to hold on to my PS4 Pro that sounds like a goddamn jet engine any time I play something in 4K/HDR.
I've also owned every Sony console since the PS1, so it's pretty much a given that I'll get a PS5 at some point because I tend to love the first- and third-party support that Sony consoles get.
But as superficial as it sounds, I simply can't bring myself to get a PS5 until there is a black variant.
Why doesn't this exist? Surely it will at some point, right?
I kind of loathe the hardware design in general for the PS5, but I'd be able to overlook it if the console and controller were black. I like all of my consoles black, for the most part. I don't want this big, fugly, white monstrosity taking up a cubby in my entertainment center. It sounds extreme, I know, but I really don't like white electronics.
