The PS5's white plates are swappable, leaked pictures suggest

Really itching for any new hardware news. I wonder how long we will wait
When Sony talked about the PS5 automation plant(s?) that's been established in Japan, I assume they meant assembly-line only?
Oil is easily removable from your car with 1 bolt, doesn't mean people drive without oil.
Yeah that's really helpful, lol.
Someone could easily scale it properly now.
Did some quick calculations
First pic is D4
Second is A4
its nearly A3?? (Bottom pic)
Uh oh
Here we go again lol
Tbh I'm not worried about size or color man, just looking forward to the games, but it is fascinating seeing everyone's Photoshop measuring theories
Yeah, this pic actually makes me worry that it wont fit in my TV unit after all lol
Probably A4.
As you can see, the forum is Chinese and the guy in the leaked photos is probably a Chinese guy in a Chinese factory. Keeping extremely long finger nails is a somewhat strange practice among Chinese people.
I remember buying and reselling faceplates at a time and they came in very nice excluuusive pianoblack carton cases with silverprinted PS4 logo on if I remember correctly.
I did not know that there was such a thing as D sizes for paper. Had to look it up, I guess it's used in China. That's some smart detective work! How did you know to account for that??

I don't understand this thread at all. Because the white panel is a separate piece during the assembly process, that means it's "swappable"? By that logic every console shell is designed to be "swappable."
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.
Team Purp all the way!
Really a pity. There are so many other underdeveloped countries that they could produce these devices with extremely cheap labor and that they would not bother to retain technology for them, threatening Western economic superiority ...
But Sony insists on producing in these communist countries that do not understand their place in the value chains only as suppliers of labor.
I wonder when we will solve this problem and finally have cheap production, an affordable sale price in the West, total control over technology and certainty that the post-war world is not threatened.
Yes, this will probably be how you access the expansion SSD bay.
I didn't at first
the A4 dimensions seemed too big to me so I just checked what else it could be
Yeah I don't actually see what about these photos makes people think it means there'll be faceplates.
I just want to believe.
Once again MS lead the way with this innovation :P
Would like to know the size of that paper to get a real idea of the PS5 dimensions
I still have that blue one on my original 360! Time flies...
I'm guessing someone will make them. You can buy them for PS4.
But I don't think is evidence of official swapable/custom faceplate support or anything. This is just exactly the same as how the PS4 'faceplate' works. An easy way to access the innards.
