Photoshop quality aside it would be cool if you could decide what color the LEDs would show. I mean it wouldn't be hard. The DS4 light bar changes color all the times so I imagine they could do that too. Hence red light with black.

Hope there is a black one at launch as I don't think I like it in white enough to get day 1.

So, if this is really a thing, the options are white with blue light and black with red light...

Can I get a grey with green light, please?

nope, they should create a diff design as a whole.
It's the shape that is the issue, not the color.

Looks a lil too gamer-y with those red accents for me.

Still, would be nice to have the choice.

Ok, so from what you can seee in this ad and make out of text.

"Sony Targets"
"Poster in the back office"
Image of Experia mobile phone and general purpose reward/gift cards.

B Brilliant logo at the bottom.

Shutdown-bb | be brilliant


This is an advert for staff of O2 /Telefonica cellphone stores who are being inventivised to sell Sony products for which they can log into the brilliant website and claim other Sony rewards.

The ad won't be made or authorised by Playstation , but as we already know, a black PS5 looks neater next to other black electronics, so some creative liberty has been taken by the graphic designer.

I find it funny that people needed this confirmed as fake. Surely it would be black and blue. Still looks horrendous regardless!

Why would anyone have thought this was real? It's clearly a fake/mockup, even before the person who made it posted the proof.

Too many things to easily point out:
  • Red light color is a no-no
  • PS logo isn't supposed to be colored, it's a cut-out
  • The Sony logo is also embossed, not colored
  • The stand out be closer to what the "black" color would really look like if it were a real render

Surely they must see how many people are thirsty for a black one?

yeah, yeah, they decided to go with a different design this time, and that's cool, but a substantial number of people want a black one

As OK as I am with the design of the PS5 and DS5 (seriously it's just a plastic shell, it's fine), I really hope the backlash leads to some slick custom paint jobs.

I think they anticipated the series x being black, and wanted to purposely differentiate, even if that doesn't matter.

I wouldn't worry too much if you really want a black one...I'm sure there will be many iterations of PS5 colorwise down the road...likely already in 2021, if nothing else then at least special editions.

Looks much better, but I think I'd prefer black with the blue accents.

It's still a fucking huge box that won't fit in my entertainment center.
