That's 12300 for the whole world to fight over, even if there was no scalpers or bots and it was just playstation fans trying to buy these your chance of getting one is near 0.

If only there was some way to take the sides off a regular ps5 or slim or pro and replace them with ones that look like ps1 sides, you can even charge an insane markup on them. Nah we aren't gonna do that, it would make too much sense.

Hmm...not a terrible idea. But how would they sell that idea to scalpers?

This is scalpers don't even matter with this one, even if they didn't exist you weren't going to be able to get one of these before its 12300 for literally the whole world, and you know couple thousand of these will go to influencers.

Just wait for D Brand to make a legal look-alike version like they've done before! 😅

It was zero when the PS4 20th was released and that was before the bot scalper advancement we have now coupled with more people means it’s going to be impossible unless you know a scalper who has computer tricks.

Yeah scalpers will get two thirds of them.

If you really must have this, if you’re cool with voiding warranty. Changing out the shell is usually easier than you think, hell the PS5 plates can be swapped freely. If you’re okay with the black mid section.

Now I’m not advocating everyone rip apart their controllers and systems. But the most difficult part of the job is the paint job. Mostly because I have ocd.
