PS5 looks SOOO much better in Black

[Perfect Chaos]

Looks like a real router now.

 

[Shemhazai]

I prefer it in white and actually really like the design.

But I'm also a thirty year old with a keytar so mileage my vary.

 

[nStruct]

Agreed, hope to replace the plates on mine some day

 

[R dott B]

Looks bland.

 

[7threst]

It's still ugly tbh. I really want a different form factor instead of this router-esque design.

 

[xXJonoXx]

White looks better to me, black just looks boring

 

[Teapot Jeffries]

It's better, but it's still hideous. I don't hate the white but getting rid of that awful glossy black in the center helps a lot! The gloss makes it look like the world's largest router.

Nothing will top how ridiculously large it is. I still can't wrap my head around Sony making a console larger than an OG Xbox, OG Xbox One, and an OG PS3.

I've got Dark Plates for my PS5 Digital arriving this week.

PS5 disc edition looks ugly as hell, although the dark plates help. PS5 Digital? With Dark Plates I think it may legitimately be a really nice looking console.

EDIT - Yep, PS5 Digital looks pretty awesome in all black:

 

[SixelAlexiS]

With two different shade of black is even worse honestly, this is why I don't like the official black dualsense either.

 

[xem]

I guess it looks a little better. Im so indifferent to looks of consoles.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

I wish LG would let us remove that "No Signal" box. Completely ruins the screensavers when the tv is idle

 

[Draper]

Somehow it manages to look worse than usual

 

[nihilence]

Matte black for the win.

 

[TaterTots]

I think that looks worse. Like someone spray painted the console.

 

[Qvoth]

need some contrast
all black is kinda lame

 

[Alien Bob]

It absolutely does look better in black.

But this would look a lot better in black too, so...

 

[U Know Me]

It looks better because it's less noticeable. I hate the way it looks horizontal because of the stand and when it's vertical it stands out to much.

 

[Mugen X]

Dbrand Darkplates with the matte skin for the win!!!

Once we start getting limited edition Ps5s with some sort of design on the faceplates I think the console will look it's best.

 

[Voodoowoolf]

When are Sony dropping those official black plates 😫

 

[alr1ght]

It looks better because it's not saying, "LOOK AT ME, I'M A BRIGHT WHITE MELTED CLAM" anymore. Still butt ugly. Now it says, "hey, yeah i'm ugly as fuck, but i'll just sit over here in the corner and try to not get noticed."

I prefer the 2-tone. Due to its size and shape, a huge black weird shape would look crazy in my entertainment center. The 2-tone breaks up the sizes a bit.

 

[Teapot Jeffries]

Edit: Nvm

 

[Rickenslacker]

Looks better than the white, but you're still putting lipstick on a pig at the end of the day.

 

[Bard]

Still has an abhorrently huge form factor and router design, but at least it looks less awful without the white.

 

[Falchion]

Still looks like a wifi router to me.

 

[Jolkien]

Nope, I know it's all subjective but white is way better imo.

 

[JohnnyToonami]

Woof

 

[Deleted member 10612]

White is the better design. The PS5 is just way to big.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Still ugly.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Usually I like the black color on PlayStation consoles, but in PS5 case.. they nailed the white color much better that I can't imagine the console in any other colors.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Yeah that really looks great.

 

[pswii60]

Would look better all-white.

 

[The Shape]

I'm not feeling it

 

[headspawn]

You can't shine a turd but you can certainly put a matte-black finish on it to make it a bit better.

Definitely better.

 

[DrFunk]

Eh, midnight blue is better, imo

 

[Expy]

Naw, dual tone is the best look.

 

[Katmeister]

Yeah it's definitely the shape not the colors for me. Why couldn't they have just made it a plain rectangle?

 

[Yappa]

Nice OLED.

 

[Jarmel]

Original looks like ass, so yea its a major improvement.

 

[papertowel]

The design of the PS5 really annoys me for some reason. Wasn't planning on getting one for a while anyway so I hope a slim model comes out in a few years that isn't so ugly.

It's one of the rare consoles that looks even uglier in person. It's so damn huge.

 

[thisismadness]

Looks better but still an eyesore

 

[X05]

It looks just slightly less terrible

 

[inner-G]

Idk, the white looks better to me still

 

[mikeys_legendary]

You all need to put your damn consoles somewhere you don't see them so I don't have to see these threads anymore!

 

[Deleted member 2145]

it looks better but like......damn that thing is fucking ugly

I feel like I don't even really grasp how ugly it is because I don't have one yet and haven't seen one in person. that'll be a fun day

 

[RivalGT]

Looks worse and dull, but thats kinda what you want in a console. I dont particularly pay much attention to them, so the color makes 0 difference to me.

I hate this so much .

 

[DreamRunner]

Nah, white one looks better.

 

[Deleted member 36578]

It looks much better in black, agreed.
