These PS5 Accessories & Faceplates Are Getting Creative.. And Underwhelming
Ойындар
Sony has been pretty slow with rolling out any additional colors for PlayStation 5. We still only have white for the console (if you can even find one) three DualSense colors, and now two headset colors. But the aftermarket for PS5 has been very healthy. We've seen a lot of custom consoles & controllers but the faceplate variations have gotten interesting. I picked up two more of those to look at, alongside these two simple LED mods. After mixing them around with different color combos, here's what I think. Also, Melissa (my cat) thoroughly enjoyed all the trash from the packaging. She slept on a piece of paper for 10 hours straight. Gnarly.
LED Ring Mod:
ebay.us/Zhl4lH (cheaper)
amzn.to/3EvzKpE (ships faster)
amzn.to/2XP2uZU (this one is different but would provide more coverage in solid colored faceplates)
Sticker Mod:
ebay.us/fwSCQA
PS5 Faceplates (Disc - Ships Fast)
amzn.to/3AvqfEr
ebay.us/1dsCay
Clear Faceplate:
amzn.to/39o84Vn
ebay.us/GSPjfH (different colors)
Gold Faceplate (Digital)

Gold Faceplate (Disc)

Hey Ryan! I think it's so cool of you to take the time to switch out all of those plates for us. It's nice getting a visual of the many different colors out there. Question, do you plan to get the D-Brand Dark Plates? I finally broke down and purchased a set and await their arrival. From what I understand they are made very well and even weighs a bit more than the official plates. I plan to use those until (hopefully) Sony releases some official plates. Oh and of the ones shown in this vid, I think the clear is my favorite. I personally wouldn't display my PS5 that way but it looked pretty cool.

If you want to block the lights form leaking through the after market plates, you could try to apply some "Aluminum Tape/Aluminum Foil Tape" to the inside as a light block. It will also help to reflect the lights more as well.

Thx Mystic. Very informative and well explained. New sub bro!
I've had the DBrand dark plates for months and love em. Those clear plates might be really good for people to paint and customize them themselves. Might consider that myself
I think you’d sold me on the clear plates and Led lights. I have the dbrand dark plates and the original white too.
These LED ones are pretty cool, I never thought about those. I only got the nova pink plates, but the logo colour ones seem like a good idea
The clear and the L.e.d's look awesome. Cool mod.👍
The molded area you mentioned are called ribs. We add those in certain locations to help with dimensional aspects. Keeps the plates from worping.
The LED ring is a cool mod and would look much better with a frosted case. Thanks for sharing!
I see your BladeHQ exclusive Bugout there! Very nice! I didn't manage to get one of those exclusive models unfortunatley, however I did get a Bugout in blue G10, also with 20CV steel. I absolutley love it. Since I've gotten the Bugout, I've officially become a Benchmade guy lool. It was awesome to catch that in your intro. Do you have any other Benchmades? In a few years I'm considering getting a 940 Osborne.
What always catches my eye in your vids that I love the most and its not the tech but the PS Skateboard on the back wall 😁

just got darkplates and ring light. My living room is black and red and its finally going to match my room with this set up. Wouldnt have known about the lights without this vid.
I think getting a plate that has a clear circle for the fans but coloured everywhere else. The led circles would be pretty nice
Black plates with a wood skin looks awesome and it just blends into my living room.
I did the lights stickers for the rainbow RGB look early on. The only other thing I did was put a 14" tall blue crusader knight vinyl decal on the front side. I am on the fence about getting any plates at this point. I am looking forward to see what else these vendors will come out with in the future.
The Interstellar Black plates from the Amazon link are a frost tinted black, looks amazing!
The light stickers and logo stickers are pretty cool and of course the Darkplates, but best mod is the Sabrent ssd cover heatsink that is coming out at the end of this month. Not a fan of to much rgb I like a more stealth look with minimal lighting effects. Toasty has prob the best light stickers that ive seen.
Great video 📹 👍. Defo gonna purchase 2 light rings
Damn, I love the clear plates! I've always loved transparent console stuff. I'm waiting until we get a transparent DualSense....I've had one for every PlayStation, so definitely want to keep that going. I really wish Sony would get on to selling custom plates themselves...there's a definite market for it, Sony going with White on the PS5 has really created interest for people to want to make it literally any other color. Third party just never has the PS logo, or the tiny Triangle, Circle, X, Square design that's become synonymous with the PS5 now. It's the big reason I refuse to pay the prices for them...I have a thing with it not feeling official. Like it doesn't matter in the long run...but I'll always know.

I completely get you. I finally purchased the D-Brand Dark Plates but for the longest time I refused to do so due to the lack of the PS emblem. I really hope Sony would produce official plates but I have this sinking feeling they won't. At most I see Sony doing a black PS5 but no separate plates. I do hope I'm wrong. I remember the plates they did for the original PS4. They only did two plates.. TWO! The PS4 was out for some time but they only gave us two plates. (sigh) Fingers crossed they make official plates.

Oh the clear plates look absolutely amazing. Now Sony please do the transparent controller because I’m not taking one apart. No way.

I love the design of the PS5. Looks almost alien. The color is perfect. Every other color kinda ruins it for me, but I still appreciate the fact that they gave us the option, whether intentional or not.
My setup would be RGB ring and clear plates but I would scuff and prep the outside and paint it white, then black. you'd get the reflective properties of the white, the light would carry to the edges, and the outside would just look stealth mode.
This dude really likes the PS3 home console. Love the dedication you put in making this LTPS.
Love the Bugout bro. Rockscale designs will do your scales right.

The LED bleeding through the face plate actually looks pretty cool imo.
Those Clear plates give the PS5 an industrial look. Great Video
I did the red lights around the fan, then on the interior of the ps Face plate I glued aluminum foil about 1/2 inch wider than the rings and it keeps the lights from shining through the face plates and reflects the light brighter where the ps5 led's shine out by the vents. Cheap and effective.
PS5 Manilla Folder edition! Also that ring light with a frosted panels or a diffuser layer with the clear panel.
I really wish when the PS5 is on it has a Blue light on really :( Even in standby I would like it to be Blue to(yep I like Blue) :D Shame we can't select whatever colours we want because that would of been COOL :P Oh well.

The led rgb looks good through the vents in the solid plates more so the of white one probably with a black plate it would look ok too but instead of a ring rgb maybe one that goes on the the edges of the console so its not just a ring.
the clear with the RGB is pretty freakin sweet. I'm not into RGB enough to do this, but that's definitely the coolest one - especially if your setup has a ton of rgb.

I used a ring light with the clear plate I painted the clear plate except the edges that are still exposed clear it looks sick as heck cuz you can see the light through the edges. For the ring light bleed through on the cases just tells me that they went cheap with the paint to plastic mix and probably only mixed 1 or 2 ounces of color when it should have been 4 or 5. Couple of layers of spray paint or some kind of reflective backing on the inside would take care of that.
The power light decal is pretty cool I got the rainbow one
Frosted Translucent White with the LED rings would look sweet.
That "gold" one looks like aged PC cases from the 90s that used to be white. I like the LED shining through the solid plastic but only on one side because my monitor us right next to my PS5.
That gold one reminds me of kitchen appliances of the 70s. Harvest gold was the name. Now we need an avocado green version.
