Unofficial PS5 Faceplate Seller Has to Rebrand After Sony Complaint

All Sold Out by the looks of it! Ill be waiting to see if they release some official ones first anyway.

I think this customization is going to be very popular amongst PS5 users. Can't wait to see the God of War version! BOY!!!!!

I would only get official ones really if SONY do some in the future. I never really like unofficial stuff much it just makes things look erm cheap

They could also release ones for charity or good causes like pink for breast cancer, a green one that's made of 100% recycled material to promote a healthy environment etc

I plan to remove plates at all... but if it gets necessary to be there, some repaint comes handy. There is some Mephiston Red spray around the house...

@AdamNovice I don’t think they can issue a total shutdown. Is someone wants to make these they’re not doing anything illegal. These business have existed for ages.

I bought an "unofficial" stand for my PSVR. The thing has been awesome. It looks good and it charges 2 Moves and 2 DS4 controllers...which is a necessity considering battery life.

As for the plates, I'll be leaving mine alone when I get it. I need it to balance out what I already have.

@lacerz That's a lot of folders!

Allow me to demonstrate my surprised face.😐

@LiamCroft
There's about 15 more. I have an 8TB external, and it's full.

Terrible new site name. They should have tried something like "PimpMySide(s)"

You're welcome.

@LiamCroft unbelievable amount , I’d get confused with that many

@PeterN80 that might work 🤔😂

I went with a DBrand skin myself

I think I'd feel more comfortable just buying official ones but that's if they aren't astronomical... which they probably will be.

What I'm really hoping, and kind of expecting, is Sony starts selling bundles with different plates so I don't gotta buy extra ones because I'm really not a fan of the white.

@lacerz that’s a nice stand. What’s it called?

@Boucho11
PSVR Showcase Stand

EDIT:

Or did you mean the TV stand? I couldn't find a UK version.

@zupertramp I could see sony doing limited edition plates with matching controllers.

@Tash85 yeah I'm holding out for something like that with Horizon Forbidden West or TLoU2 remaster (if that happens).

It'd still be cool if they sold this kind of LE stuff separately though.

@themightyant i think Liam is anti folder

@themightyant Haha as @zupertramp says, I don't have any!

@LiamCroft @themightyant As someone else mentioned previously, we need a poll before we move on to a new UI.

All I want is for Sony to make some official plates in the same gray color from the original PlayStation. I really don't think that is too much to ask.

I had a feeling that would happen. After seeing a close up of the oem plates I see there are detailed textures made up of triangle, square, X and circle covering the surface. I wonder if these aftermarket plates will have this also. It's a nice touch.

@themightyant I just live amongst it all no folders just stuff everywhere - your way more organised

@AdamNovice You'd think Sony would have completely shut it down if they were planning their own plates, not the other way around.

I have 200+ games installed. I need to keep them organized. That's one of the lingering questions for the PS5...are there folders???

My folders:
Party Games
Pinball
FPS
FP Story
FP Adventure
3rd Person
Open World
Racers
Sports
VR
Music
Platformers
Card/Board/Puzzle Games
Online Only
Fighters
Couch Multiplayer
Indies
Horror
Visual Novels
RPG
Action RPG
Cinematic
Sims
Strategy
Point & Click
Episodic

Not doing any plastic surgery to my PS5 she is beautiful just as she is.

If sony comes out with their own itll be like 70 to 100 bucks. I might just airbrush the white ones it comes with so its authentic and exclusive because its authentic and a different color

No China. Ever.

@lacerz you need to pump up those platinum numbers.
Awesome setup BTW.

If the heat pipes connect to a heat conducting stand and they conduct heat through to metal heat plates and then they conduct through to heat pipes connected to an exterior wall and a long cable that conducts heat could be built to reach the north pole then it could make the fan just collect dust .

@deathaxe We have a similar deal except my wife likes cars, like really likes cars, so I have enough "credit" to last me the next 150 years 😂

Unofficial is always more interesting lol

@themightyant that’s all that matters dude 😊

@Carl-G Unofficial == cheap. I have bought many a Unofficial peripheral and custom item for my consoles over the years very few were of poor quality. You will have to do some research though and that's usually the part that stops people.

@lacerz Indeed, the FIRST thing I asked after seeing the UI. Folders are a MUST.

@Dr-M
Thanks! Yeah, I'm lacking in the Plat department. Probably won't change though. I was only at 3 until Ghost of Tsushima.

@lacerz Jesus! I'd need folders to organise all those folders

@lacerz And where would you put an episodic online-only indie horror RPG?!

This was actually a bless in disguise. Now they can sell to every console and have a neutral name.

@deathaxe I decided to hang off to get the PS5 once the Christmas/ preorder nonsense is over with, so I bought myself a new 65" 4K TV so I'm ready for it when I do buy one... As a wife sweetener, I got her the new Samsung tablet she was drooling over... It's the same with watches, my mates ask me how I get away with buying so many expensive watches but she collects them too, so if I get a shiny, she gets a shiny and no one gets the silent treatment... 😉

Something about all of this stinks to high heaven.

They say their plates are "based on dimensions released by Sony", except Sony hasn't released the exact specs of the plates that would allow for someone to reproduce them accurately.

So, either they managed to illegally get their hands on a system or set of official plates before they've been released (since these aren't officially licensed), these are pre-orders that won't be produced until the system has been officially released (which, at best, is super dishonest, since they're not listen as pre-orders and supposedly will ship and arrive the same day the system launches), or this is a huge scam....and considering these guys just appeared out of nowhere overnight, I'm leaning toward the latter.

Personally, I wouldn't trust them. Just wait for the system to be released, within a few weeks there will be tons of 3rd party plates available.

@lacerz I'm sorry to bring you the bad news, but I have been told that having a large drive and filling it, rather than having a small drive and limiting to a very select few of currently playing games, is doing gaming wrong.

Looks like my hunch was right. Sony shut them down, all orders/pre-orders have been cancelled.
