Translucent Faceplates Finally Make PS5 Look Stunning

Acceptable in the 90s (and now)

[Jin_Sakai]

I’ll stick with the official black faceplates.

I have the original dark plates from dbrand. I like em but I do like these as well.

[SullysCigar]

i was eyeing up the official Galactic Purple ones to match my controller. PS Direct had them on sale, but I slept on it and missed out. Next time!

These dbrand ones are way overpriced. Plus, they guy that owns the company is a bit of a dick.

[darthv72]

He is a tad cocky... but they make a good product. All he had to do was make a deal with Sony, instead he got arrogant and goaded Sony into the situation.

[Flenter]

D(ick)brand?

[Neonridr]

yep, replaced the white with the black. Makes the console look so much nicer.

Yeah, I'm good not having an iMacPS5 next to my TV let alone anywhere else in my house.

[Leeroyw]

This made me chuckle a fair bit if I'm honest. Bravo. And yes I'm old enough to remember.

[ChasterMies]

I loved that iMac era. Never had one, though. Now I want a translucent bondi blue PS5.

[Concertoine]

Totally had one with my trapper keeper and translucent Dreamcast controllers/VMUs.

[closed_account]

Hahaha, nailed it! 😂

[Eonjay]

I actually like it lol

[Retroman]

Any faceplate make PS5 look better compare to that Ugly V shape crap.

[crazyCoconuts]

I didn't realize the faceplate changed the shape.
Does it turn out into a featureless black cuboid, because that's way prettier

[crazyCoconuts]

More powerful... Hmmm, strange I didn't notice. Yes the PS5 will be collecting...webs... A this fall

[Retroman]

@Crazy
I have 2 colors.
Rounded faceplate Gold and Black . Next month will buy off white faceplate.
Those who disagree either don't know about it or refuse to agree. Amazon sell em for 39.99
Pushsquare want 89.00-99.00 for Faceplate?? no thanks.

[crazyCoconuts]

Yeah I think we'll be okay with NYC. We'll have WAY more places to eat lol
See, we've already had someone sell us a procedurally generated galaxy that'll blow our minds. It didn't end well...
All joking aside though, I am looking forward to Starfield, and No Man's Sky redeemed itself, so it's all good. I'm glad we can finally have a debate over which console's game is gonna be better. Life is Good

[TiredGamer]

Agreed. The PS5 system is hideous in stock form. I have the dark plates and it looks passable now.

[Kekewei]

I don't get DBrand design, it makes ps5 look bald...

[Rynxie]

They are selling it for $84? Eff that. I can literally get the exact same thing from Amazon for $50 and less.

There are also companies that are now selling faceplates with imagery. I got my a joker faceplate. And it cost only 69.99. eff dbrand.

[MetroidFREAK21]

If Sony makes official translucent plates, that's a buy. I don't like the Dbrand shape and style. Looks ugly to me tbh

[ocelot07]

Always loved the funtastics N64 consoles with the jungle green being my favourite. I think a jungle green ps5 side plate would be very nice.

[repsahj]

I still love the default plates. Maybe if this thing is just $10, I will try it.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

This is one part of the 90's/00's nostalgia I do not want to relive,

[frostypants]

That looked bad in the 90s too. Those Macs were mocked mercilessly. People said they looks like hair salon appliances.

[gold_drake]

84 is alot for .. two pieces of plastic.

[northpaws]

it looks cool until there are dust lol

[CobraKai]

Nah. I prefer the white.

[jznrpg]

These have been around for sometime.

I don’t like the shape of them so never bought one.

[isarai]

I'm a sucker for transparent electronics, but I don't like the design of these

[S2Killinit]

Uffff

Brings back memories ((:

[DazaMc]

I don't like the air vent on the side. The original pulls air over the SSD expansion slot, this does not.

[Miacosa]

Makes it look like a cheap knock-off.

[anast]

If they keep using "stunning" for everything, it will lose its meaning in the context of game blogging.

[GhostScholar]

I think my ps5 is fine now it is. That looks like a shitty translucent n64
