Seems like they couldn't know how to replicate whatever mechanism attaches the plate to the console yet, weird that they are supposed to ship at launch.

I'd be wary of trusting these, unlicensed products, release date delivery, no affiliation with Sony.

How do they even know they will fit?

The blue one looks really good. This gen will be amazing for customization.

They nailed it with the PlateStation5 url. But the design seems unique enough that it could/should be protected by IP, we'll see how that goes.
Anyway, getting the red for my GFs ps5 sometime next year

I wonder if they can legally, accurately, replicate the faceplates. I'm sure Sony has patented the design.

Not that this might stop some. But if you want something perfectly exact, then refinishing existing faceplates might get you a better result. One would think it might not be too long before Sony gets official plates out though, also.

I'll wait for reviews, but blue looks fucking noice. Crazy how Sony didn't just release these themselves, easy money

$40 seems a bit more than what I expected, but these are the very first ones we have seen from anyone.

I expect they will sell a lot though.

the flat panels would also lend themselves to decals / or spray paint for those who are confident enough

based on the official teardown video it looks like the plates pop off easily enough

That red is pretty hot. Would be perfect for a Spider-Man 2 bundle.

That's a clever name lmao. I'll wait till aftermarket side panels start flooding Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress.

Matt black one goes a long way to make it look better. Are they doing something similar for the controllers?

Will wait for official ones, not buying not licensed chinise designs.
Can't wait to get rid of that hideous black and white look.

I still have several X360 faceplates, some quite rare. Good times, if Sony ends up doing official ones I could grab some

I'm going to get camo so it doesn't look as big because I won't be able to actually see it.

Yeah don't buy into the hype, they're the first to market but 1000 others will offer the same service at either a cheaper price or better quality once we actually know what it looks like.

Pretty sure you wanna just play on your PS5 at launch, that's 40 dollars down the drain if it looks ass with your setup
