PlayStation reveals PS5 faceplates and new DualSense colors



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.

Great, more color variants of a very lame design, just what they needed... XD

Now they can say they have a ("nice-lame" + "color-design")^2? LOL!

Complete fail! What a crap!

Faceplate seems to be priced at 54.99$ (don't know if it's the official price)
This is why we need third-party offerings, Sony's just mad that the third-party faceplates made it to market before they could launch theirs.

Four steps to saving money on this and probably getting a better color/design:

Step 1: Remove existing plates from your PS5

Step 2: Spray-paint it with the color of your choosing

Step 3: Let paint dry - apply more coats as needed

- Optional step: Use a stencil to paint a "sick" logo on your plates

Step 4: Re-apply your fresh-looking PS5 plates

Wow. crazy color, lol! No, I am talking about first released like PS2 PHAT. Not slim. Always black. :)
The Fat PS2 also had alternate colors, but I believe they may have all been Japan-exclusive.
There was a different shade of black, a silver one, a blue one, a white one, a pink one, and a few others.

Ms gretta will be angry at sony for not reducing its plastic usage.

But fuck sony acting like nintendont, using their legal team to shut down a small independent company that already thought of this idea, and forced them to stop selling customised faceplates........

So they can steal the idea and sell them individually, rather than give the customer what they want straight out of the box.....

A black console, which has always been the default option.

So the slogan "its for the players", like fuck it is, more like "its for our back pockets" you WILL pay extra to get the default colour consoles are normally sold as.

You'd only be paying for the brand.

It's like Nintendo's SD Cards, they're Sandisk cards, but the Nintendo brand increases their price.

But hey, it's your money do as you wish.

and people still buy them... I will never understand that... but like you said it's their money, they do as they wish (although they are getting milked by brands...)

Technically, not true if we count PS1 and PS1 Slim which were gray.

The black PS1 looked really cool, but hard to get.

and they still look over 9000 times better than these cheap plastic with a coat of paint!
Crazy that folks would spend $70 for a piece of plastic regardless of brand.

On Aliexpress, they go for $25 and it's from Data Frog. About three years ago I bought a DualShock 3-like for PS2 for $10 from them and still works perfectly whereas others, i.e. unbranded break after a few months.

Hell, even well known third party controller makers such as PowerA aren't very reliable. Their analog sticks have drift after a couple of months and then who knows, maybe the battery dies.

I'll probably buy a PS5 after GT7 is out and they release a PS5 Slim, the current PS5 looks like a huge router / alien spaceship.
