Sony confirm three new colours for the PlayStation 5 console will release starting next month!

The PlayStation 5’s outlandish design caught the eye of many when it released in November 2020 but a lot of the player base who were lucky enough to get their hands on the ultra rare machine wanted more choice with the colour of the console. In January, they dropped Midnight Black and Cosmic Red with the new three colours finally on the horizon. PS5 owners can swap the face plates themselves to give it a new fresh look.

Alongside Midnight Black and Cosmic Red, the three new colours are Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple. The revolutionary DualSense controller is also getting a makeover matching the colours that the PlayStation console is getting. But unlike the console the new coloured controllers will reportedly come with improved parts to prevent stick drift and users can check a code on the back of the controller to verify that it has the new parts.

Sony is yet to reveal special edition custom designed PlayStation 5 consoles whereas the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro over their lifespan had uniquely designed consoles around the flagship games of the time such as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man. But with options for PlayStation 5 owners starting to become more vast their is an increasing worry that the shape and design of said console could change over the next 18 months like the PS4 and PS4 Pro having multiple design changes over the 7 predominant years of it’s life. Some gamers do want to see a change in console design as it’s novel, impractical and rather large design in comparison to it’s main competitor the Xbox Series X, fans want to see a slimmer more sleek design to appear in the future. Controversy has been lingering over the choice of colours as when the PlayStation 5 console was released many fans were begging for third party accessory makers including Dbrand to provide black face plates to replace the white ones. Sony are known for not working well with others as they sent a cease and desist to Dbrand forcing them to stop selling them immediately aggravating many fans, it’s taken them 18 months after release of the console for them to finally move into the market of giving us a choice of colours.

The post PlayStation Releasing An Assortment Of PS5 Console Covers Next Month! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear! To cut a long story short (which you can find out more on here), the folks at PlayStation have been in legal squabbles with the folks at Dbrand because they both want to make PlayStation console faceplates! Yadda, yadda, yadda, patents bad, artistic cancel culture, you know, sunshine and rainbows all around.

PlayStation recently announced it’s ‘console covers’ will be releasing in January 2022, coming in 5 different colours as shown above, set to match with the current and upcoming coloured controller variants. The upcoming controller colours are confirmed to be Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple, so I guess someone’s been taking notes from the Nintendo School of Controller Naming… Not that I can blame them, I mean, ‘neon green’ and ‘metallic black’ sound like perfume chains launched by BTS!

Despite the January 2022 global release, Galactic Purple will be coming to the PlayStation Direct online store early in the US, UK and Germany. Sales there will start on January 14th, while the full global release will roll out to other retailers on February 11th. Black and red versions will be available via the store from January 21, while other retailers get them on February 18.

Do you want the bad news or the good news first? When the Dbrand madlads started selling their PS5 Darkplates in February this year, they sold out within a few hours and will currently be out of stock until May! The good news (for PlayStation) is that Dbrand had to release a statement a month ago declaring how ‘Darkplates are dead’, after a cease and desist letter from Sony lawyers threatening to sue if they continued… Yayyy capitalism!!!

PLOT TWIST, days later the Dbrand madlads released ANOTHER statement essentially saying “oh, honey boo boo, we said Darkplates are dead, we didn’t say anything about Darkplates 2.0”, at which point, every PlayStation exec decided to commit honorable sudoku in the bathtub with Keurig’s latest Ribbed For Her Pleasure Coffee Machine… I’m exaggerating, but not by much.

Product Poems:

Darkplates and Dark Souls imply existence of Dark Bowls and Light Souls?

There was once a young woman named Barbie, one day she got bit by a zombie! But she didn’t turn, for soon she would learn, she had no brains- “oh, harder Harvey”!
