The PS5's white plates are swappable, leaked pictures suggest
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Eric Lempel response here seems to make me think it is a thing we'll see soon
Probably in a State of play meant to replace Gamescom.
I told y'all in the reveal thread!
It seems like it can be flat out removed. I wonder if it can be left alone without a shell and just a black box

How soon until the controller falls apart. A controller needs to be rigid. having snap on parts to the main shell seems odd. But what do I know.

It's not the only indication:

If you can remove them, some company will make custom plates if Sony won't.
I feel you need to remove the side panels to install the NVME drive because usually you don't stick them into a slot like a standard hdd/ssd. You need to screw them on a flat surface. That is unless Sony has built a special caddy for it that can be hot swapped from the back.
Loving the leaks. We need more. I want a break down of this thing to see their cooling solution. I need to see what the hype about it is.

Oh fuck yea. I could totally see myself getting into customizing my PS5.
Maybe on a seasonal rotation (orange and black for Fall, etc.) or in honor of big releases (red & white for Spider-Man 2, glacier blue & steel grey for God of War 2, etc.)

Some people will remove the plates and leave the console "naked"...
I hope it is true.
Reminds me of one of those 70s-80s vinyl record players.

If I eventually get a PS5 before the inevitable slim revision and it is an option, I would totally leave them off. The console looks ridiculous with them.
Hell yes.
Give me purple like that to sandwich the gloss black middle. If replaceable side plates are a thing I might even have a go at painting a set.
What about the white parts of the DS? Are they swappable too? They look they aren't welded to the black parts so I think they are swappable too so anyone could customize them at his will.
Pretty much every component of the PS5 is made in Taiwan (Republic of China):
- APU Fabrication - TSMC
- Silicon Packaging - ASE Technology
- Silicon Packaging - Siliconeware Precision Industries
- Handle Controller Chips - ZillTek Technology
- Handle Controller Chips - AAC Technologies
- MCUs - Nuvoton Technology
- USB Hub Controllers - Genesys Logic
- USB Hub Controllers - Greatek Electronics
- SSD Controller - Phison Electronics
- SSD Controller Packaging - OSE

My mistake, I thought that person said PS3. The OG PS3 curved top had those alignment spikes too which is why I thought they were making the comparison.
It was a thing in Japan though.

Eh, I don't really buy that this means they're going to be easily swappable. Their method of actual attachment will be what matters.
More interesting in my mind though, what does this console look like entirely without these fins if they are indeed that removable?

Oh yes Sony, give me those custom plates. Any chance this somehow trickles down to the DualSense?
Would be really good if instead release custom console edition, they release only custom plates. As someone who lives in a country where we don't see custom editions, I would love that.
Yeah, i might do that depending on what the purpose of those shells is. Hopefully we get a shot of the system without them to see how it looks.
No, the glossy faceplate was removable to provide easy access to change the HDD. You don't have to go through the tamper seals to replace the hard drives on any PS4 model.
We don't know how Sony plans to integrate an SSD expansion bay.
No, the DualSense won't have swappable plates.
TSMC would disagree about being in China, but it's a fair point.
There's still so much to know about these consoles.
The next few months will be crazy won't they?
