I like the white, actually has a nice contrast to it. I like the black but I think I have enough black electronics already.

I actually don't like its design in black for some reason. There's something about it that looks off to me. It's the same for the DualSense. Normally I prefer black consoles but for whatever reason the PS5's design just doesn't work in black for me.

Thanks for this OP! It does look way better all black. Thanks to you, my order has been placed. :D

PS5's original model will never not look like ass. Having it in all black just makes it harder to see, which makes it an improvement

Still resembles a high end router auditioning for the Jersey Shore reunion show, but is admittedly improved

I got my SX this weekend to go with my PS5. These have to be the two ugliest consoles I have ever seen horizontal. One looks like a shoebox and the other looks like it is about to tip over at all times. I'm so glad they're both beasts because the are definitely not winning any beauty pageants.

I'd probably take one or both of them in Vantablack.

Always weird to see people default with a soundbar for the LG C series - their profile is too low and any soundbar will obscure parts of the screen.

I have a Sonos Arc under my LG C9, but I've got my C9 raised a couple inches so none of the screen is covered.

Glad people enjoy it in black but... nah. No way. The OG look of the PS5 is the best.

Looks better but it's also a more boring color palette. I'm glad Sony took a risk this time around.

I think Sony has put a huge emphasis on the colours of the console, and I doubt they'd back down from this identity unless they put the emphasis on a new palette in ads. Basically, white and blue is currently associated with their branding of PS5. Releasing an entirely black console would "confused" its market.

Don't like the matte strip in the middle. I think the matte plates need to be offset with the glossy middle.

Honestly prefer white but tbh i don't think anything can make the ps5 look good, this thing is pretty damn ugly.

Looks better but is still ugly af. I would pay like 10€ to have a black one but not more. I'll save it for the next hardware revision in a few years.
