There it is, as I called it before
Batman's PlayStation 5. D-Brand starts selling matte black PS5 plates and dares Sony to sue
They are selling fast. Look at this image right here. So you guys have probably heard of the PlayStation 5
Kind of a popular console. And what can I say? The look of it has been a little bit divisive, maybe
Some people love it. they say it's like a stormtrooper they say uh it's got the black and white thing going on and
other people they think hey sony why can't you just made an actual uh well like a black one
like you've done in the past and well sony didn't do that maybe they will at some point but the cool
thing is right now you can actually do your very own black playstation 5 matte black playstation 5
for your setup. I'm gonna tell you how in just a moment but first later case
update what check out the new packaging oh so hot available now for look at that
that is the s21 ultra it's quite a fit actually you know what real quick let me
show you the fit let me show you how easy this is on later case okay crazy ultra thin you slap it on oh my goodness gracious that's all it took and and and
And the phone, it still feels sleek and premium. Look at the fit around the lenses
Get out of town. Get out of my face. Get out of town. Get out of my face. All right
Check that out in the description. That's later case. But you already know. D brand starts selling matte black PS5 plates and dares Sony to sue
They are selling fast. Look at this image right here. Quite the image
And the PlayStation does look good in black. And it's an option that I think a lot of people want
because as the news began circulating, I started to see the interest
People wondering where they could get one. It's been talked about. There was the one manufacturer that said
we're going to actually paint one or do a retro theme, but I don't know how feasible that was
They bailed. That company left. Super, whatever it was, they were going to send us one
Anyway, dbrand figured it out. It's called Dark Plates, and it will murder out your matte black hunk of hardware
Well, it will be a murdered out matte black hunk of hardware
which is cool. And dbrand went a step further with this via Dark Plates
And you can see they put the patterns on the inside, all the little kind of details that you might have felt you were missing
that Sony put into the original on the white model over here. So we head over to the website and you can see Dark Plates is a dbrand initiative
You guys know that I've worked with them in the past. Look at the website with the features
Oh, that's how easy it is. You see that from white to matte black with the scroll of your mouse
That's all it takes. Well actually no you need to click the buy button and then you will receive a package totally legal package in order to black out You can customize it further but I think the main appeal here is just to black out the PlayStation 5
So yes, of course, I have it here. Why don't we pull it out
So this is going to be your unboxing experience. And you can see it's premium all the way through over there with the pattern and the smoothness to it
So this will show up at your door. This is how you're gonna get it. You open up the box
Purchased we knew you would delivered. You're welcome installed. There's only one correct way you can head to dbrand.com
Slash how if you do pick this up, but I think you're probably gonna figure it out without even doing that
There's a little piece of foam inside the package that you might want to use to actually
Install your blacked out faceplate for your blacked out eventual blacked out PlayStation 5
You might want to use that to soften the other side when you place it down
This is the faceplate. This is what it takes, all right? So this is for the disc model
They are going to be launching the digital-only model eventually. Right now, this one is out
This is the more popular version of the PlayStation 5 anyways. And as I mentioned previously, they look kind of simple
But, like, there's a lot that goes into the shape of the thing
and there are small details in there which i don't know if you'll pick up on this camera lens
we'll see if this can pull it off if i hold this up right here is it possible yeah look at that
all the little grain in there is actually tiny little icons there's tiny little icons in there
Yeah, that's what those tiny icons are, but printed insanely smaller. And that's on the inside
That's a little extra touch for you, so you don't feel like you gave something up, shifting over to the matte black version, whereas, you know
you have that on the interior of the panels on the white model. This is a regular disc version of the PlayStation 5
and some don't even know how easy it is to peel these panels off
All right, so this is the corner away from where the disk drive is, and I'm just going to lift up and push towards myself
And look at that. Bam! Super simple. And you can see already the similarity, right
Of course, it's interchangeable. It's surprisingly simple to do. Flip over to the other side
And, you know, the other nice thing here is because this is so easy compared to doing like a whole custom config
you can just flip back and forth. I mean, I don't know what suits your style at a given moment
Maybe you want to put the white one back on at some point. Okay, cool. Just completely interchangeable
Same thing over there. Boom. No more white PS5. We are one step closer to the matte black situation
So I'm going to go ahead and start here. You just slap it in like this Make sure the corner is in And that that look at this half done Batman PS5 now once again you can use this foam for the other side so you
don't scratch up this finish place it down like this pretty self-explanatory
because the disc drives in this location so you know where to line it up
Is that it am I done? My goodness, I believe that I am ladies and gentlemen I
bring you the black PlayStation 5 courtesy of dark plates the simplest way to do it now you probably noticed at this point that you have this
glossy black in the center still which which, well, that's not murdered out by any means
So they have a solution for that. After all, it's the brand
So you have some skins that you can choose from. You could do the murdered out look
which is what I think you should do. But you can also even pick up
but you can also pick up some pretty wild custom colors that are available on the website
Actually, if I head back over there for a second, you can see you have the option from matte black to neon yellow matte white if you want like a
reverse of the original stormtrooper playstation setup robot camo triple black red code silicon
and uh yeah that pretty much wraps up the custom options right there in front of me here i have
the black and the yellow. I'm going to install the black version so that it is fully matte black
fully murdered out. Now this one comes in two pieces. So this piece is going to go on the bottom
and this piece will wrap around the entire interior. Now one of the downsides of the glossy
finish that's in there, you can see over here I've already got some kind of smudges and fingerprints
and things and hopefully the the matte finish kind of hides that a little bit
So we're just going to line up these buttons over here
here. And the ports. Like that. Boom
Ooh so fresh Look at that finish Look at that I don have to wait for Sony to actually do it
You know, you don't have to wait for some next special edition. You already got a PS5
Or you're picking one up shortly. And this lets you achieve this now
You know, I mean, who knows if Sony will ever do it. And what I like about it is it really is reminiscent of those retro PlayStations
It's reminiscent of that PS2. Now of course you can set this one down
I mean it can either be upright or on its side, but I think the right look is upright here on the stand
So there also is a bottom portion skin in case you want to put it horizontal on the stand
so that the bottom black matches the remainder of the black. This one's even simpler to install
Oh, I nailed that one too. Look at that. Alright cool. There it is. Full coverage. Full matte black
Whether it's in upright orientation or it's on its side. There it is. As I called it before
Batman's PlayStation 5. The matte black PlayStation 5. The blacked out PS5
The murdered out PS5. You can actually order it. You can do it yourself
You know what else would be cool? if you're one of these people who buys both consoles like the xbox series x and the playstation
5 they will look really good beside each other now like two completely different shapes but the
same matte black color this episode of unbox therapy has been brought to you by nord vpn you
