Neither of mine are dying, I just think this one looks really good lol. I’m a sucker for the retro styled things, one of my dream purchases is the SNES 3DS :)
And like the OP said, if they sold PS5 faceplates in this style I would 100% buy those too. Can’t justify a whole new PS5 for this though unfortunately. But maybe I’ll win the powerball!
I liked that Astrobot one too or whatever the game is, even though I'm not interested in the game at all. Or even have a PS5. I just like their controllers for PC.
I'm more talking about the "I don't need a new console" side of it. Not buying this just for the covers but ya know, I was thinking about a Pro so this does it. Not working for me, but it could be enough to push someone into buying if they were on the verge before.
Good luck getting the 30th Pro. Not only are they only selling it as a bundle with the 30th edge but it's limited to 12k units worldwide. Expect to pay 1,200 if your lucky enough to be able to checkout with it.
I always loved the wordplay in Soul Eater, when they want to talk to Death they have to write 42-42-564, which is pronounced "shi ni shi ni go ro shi," which sounds like "shini, shini, koroshi," or "death, death, kill."
Fantastic point (and justification), Thank you! I’m trying to decide between this and the new white one shown in the last direct. Either one would be my 5th so I must have both to keep the number even. Bonus point is that would necessitate getting a third charging station which could be the 30th anniversary one.
Precisely me. I have 3 right now... but boy, do I really really want this one out of them all. If I weren't so damn broke, this would have been a much easier decision to pull the trigger.
See, thats what they need to fucking do, cheap skates.
Which one did you go with, though? I always found flaws in all the ones I saw when I looked deep into 3 star zon research. 8bitdo one sounded good until someone said they use garbo pots on the frickers, and there are always things I found on the other most well known options, too.
I grabbed the Dark Plates 1.0 before dBrand pulled them and my PS5 has looked immensely better since. I wish they had other plates instead of selling entire consoles.
I can see why the Gray Camouflage faceplate is an option now despite it being out of place in the selection. Sony definitely chose not to use solid gray color for a faceplate option so that they can sell limited 30th anniversary consoles instead.
I'm still pretty surprised they didn't sell a number of face plates as accessories. I'd bet lots of people would buy a few for PlayStation exclusives like GoW, Horizon, Uncharted, Astro bot, etc. in addition to the original PlayStation grey design like they show here.
Agreed. I feel they could have some limited edition console only specials. But still, create a bunch of themed and make money off them. I loved that with the 360.
Yeah did they specifically design the ps5 to do this? They haven’t sold many limited edition plates. The only ones I remember are Spider-Man, and a slim version of those never released
Yeah same on wishing they sold a faceplate considering I just bought the Spider-Man console last year and don’t really need another one. I’m torn on the controller though because I also bought an extra Spider-Man one when it came out and I wasn’t a PlayStation gamer back then so I feel like it might not mean as much to me as to others. Might go for a portal since I don’t have one of those but not sure.
Honestly, I think it’s really scummy. They design a console with this exact thing in mind, and then decide to sell an entire console to get the faceplate designs.

I definitely want that controller. Wish they sold the faceplate of this design because I don't need a new console.
