The New Frontier of PlayStation 5: Unleashing Your Imagination
In a surprising revelation, it has been discovered that each faceplate of the PlayStation 5 can be replaced individually. This intriguing feature came to light with the release of the slimmer version of the console. Unlike the original model, the new version features a black strip running through the center, dividing each panel into four sections instead of two. This allows for the creation of fascinating designs using Sony’s new “Deep Earth” panel collection.
Interestingly, one of these designs resembles the flag of the United States – as well as the flags of Panama, Laos, Russia, Norway, Liberia, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Nepal… the list goes on. We had the opportunity to test all three new cover options that will be available on Friday, and had some fun with them. Each set of covers costs $60, so if you don’t want to spend a whopping $180 to have a truly unique PS5 console, we suggest sticking with one design.
Among the three new color options in the collection – lava, cobalt blue, and silver – the red stands out as the most captivating. It has a bright and beautiful deep gloss, which looks stunning under both harsh and soft lighting. The red DualSense controller, similar to the previous maroon Cosmic Red, also looks fantastic with its classic red on black scheme.
The blue option is also lovely, with an equally satin finish, but it pairs better with a dark background. Lastly, the silver option reminds me a bit too much of pure steel, and I’d prefer not to associate it every time I want to turn on the console.
Removing each faceplate is a fairly straightforward process. Each one is labeled with one of the classic PlayStation button shapes, so you’ll know where each goes. Removing them requires some force, but if you’re not afraid of potentially breaking the plastic, they will eventually come off.
While we haven’t seen other third-party companies like DBrand introduce their own alternative colors yet, the interchangeable faceplates open up the possibility of creating extraordinary designs in the future.
