PlayStation is releasing some new DualSense variants, with Starlight Blue, Galactic Purple, and Nova Pink. In addition, following the cease and desist sent to Dbrand after they tried to release PS5 faceplates, they'll also be making their own. You'll be able to remove the PlayStation 5 faceplates and customize them with colors such as Midnight Black, Starlight Blue, Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, Cosmic Red, giving you five options to choose from. Both the controllers and faceplates will be available directly from PlayStation on Jaunary 21 or from other retailers in February. Console covers will retail for $54.99 and will have different versions for the Disc and Digital consoles.

In the US, UK, France, and Germany, a number of these new products will be available via early access for direct.playstation.com customers. The DualSense wireless controller in Galactic Purple will be available on direct.playstation.com starting January 14 (while supplies last), and will be offered at other participating retailers starting February 11. Additionally, the PS5 console covers in Midnight Black and Cosmic Red will be available on direct.playstation.com starting January 21 (while supplies last), and will be offered at other participating retailers starting February 18. Stay tuned to direct.playstation.com for more information.

Any of said retailers got a placeholder cost or anything like that?

Faceplate seems to be priced at 54.99$ (don't know if it's the official price)

Ouch. I did a token search on US amazon before I posted that and that price appears to be in line with ones sporting fancy decorations, other faceplates of comparable complexity (I don't know if those there have nice UV sensitive dyes in them as they have that kind of glow like they have a blacklight around, though that does not add much) appear to be much lower.

Well, design is pretty lame, so at least it can be lame with flying colors.

What, over $50 for a face plate? And I thought Nintendo were scalpers.

 

[Kioku]

Sony, you've done it again!

Footage captured on ps5 lol

And the reason why they went after Debrand so hard becomes clear.
Totally buying black faceplates though, well, maybe, I actually like the duo-tone look of the PS5.

Not buying since they went after Debrand

Sony when they steal Dbrand's idea, but then realize an exploit just got revealed:

Well apart from the faceplate disaster - ain't those dual-sense colors amazing ?!
Kinda want both the purple and turquoise ones

Glad I only paid £20 for mine earlier this year.

Aliexpress has plenty.

My favorite gaming brand on there is Data Frog (they're selling too) which I'd say is a quality brand. I bought a PS2 Wireless Controller (DS3 clone) from Data Frog and works perfectly to this day.

PS5 feels like it has more controllers than it has games.

And Sony still has no new PS5 stock, but gonna release more PS5 controllers, anyway.

It's okay by the time you buy 4 ps5 colored controllers you could get a series s.

Isn’t Dbrand charging a similar price?

People seem to have bought those fine.
