PS5 PRO Faceplates MIRACLE FIX?! Discover the HOLY GRAIL Solution Gamers Have Been Praying For!​

I just got my new PS5 Pro and discovered a method to use the existing PS5 SLIM Faceplates today without harming the console. I've created a video to demonstrate how I achieved this, and it's functioning perfectly with my current slim faceplates.

I explain why existing faceplates don't work and give you 4 ways to make your existing SLIM Faceplates work if you don't want to wait or paint your existing ones. 100% safe



Ive added it here so you dont have to leave neogaf or sub etc.. I just wanted to give out my solution and hope it helps some of you wanting to use existing faceplates.

Not so safe for the plates I guess, but it looks like it works.

Is this for the "TLOU2 on Pro omg it looks ace but heres absolutely no pictures" thread guy's wrists?

 

[coffinbirth]

The plates are physically smaller though...They are too short, it looks worse now IMO, lol.

This is...certainly a thing a person could do, I guess. Don't be surprised if you get pummeled in the comments over this though.

Gotta love the "Disc-Free Console" tag on the box like physical media is an STD or something.

They are not smaller at least not my plates it looks perfect but this is just a “if your cheap” it works kinda thing and better than painting or waiting also easily removed

Sold my ps5 slim. covers not worth reselling did zero harm to my pro and it looks good in my entertainment center now. You don’t have to do this but some have found it useful.

When they come out with some I may invest but honestly you couldn’t tell the difference

when the first ps5 came out i just painted them black. no cutting or modifying. just took my paint gun into a booth and gave it 4 coats of matte black

 

[Ribi]

Just use paint or better yet buy a PC

 

[consoul]

Real talk: two-tone looks better than all one color anyway.

Finally a safe way, people were in so much danger before.

I know your pain but it can be so much worse, I was watching a video recently about an "easy/quick/safe" guitar amp conversion.

1 minute in and the guy goes to his workshop and gets industrial gear involved.

 

[crackajack]

It's Polish flag:

the red is closer to the red used for the latvian flag though.

adamsapple is incapable of playing games on any difficulty higher than story/easy mode, and now you expect him to use power tools?

 

[Putonahappyface]

Fucking awful work around. I'll wait for for the official covers that will eventually release.

Receipts ?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

This is so wholesome. I respect you Dorfdad , you sound like a cool guy to have a beer with and play some games!

I especially love your silent hill 2 thumbnail. I have subscribed to your channel as a sign of honour.

 

[BlackTron]

Adamsapple usually needs Phil to use a power tool, but feels awkward asking this time.

 

[King Dazzar]

There's already some skins coming for the end of the month. I dont think it will be a long wait for third party covers at least. At least then we should be able to keep the A&E hospital visit numbers low. lol

Yeah I was told its usually Phil ask's Adam to handle his power tool, not the other way around.

 

[GHG]

Add an easy mode and we'll make it 20 million and one.

The one at the end of the demo is 100% a sponge.

I really hope the final game has a difficulty slider. Give me my easy / story modes for 50~ hour RPGs, please.

Will check if they add an easy mode too.

I play on easy mode AND use cheat engine.

I just found an easy and safe way to use PS5 Slim Faceplates on the PRO

Onlyfans?

 

[Ceadeus]

Sony will assuredly announce pro faceplates for Xmas

 

[saintjules]

I mean I'm all for different colors and stuff, but it's funny how most of the generation so far does not like the default white color. And so much so that they have to make DIY ones. Interesting video, but I'm not gonna do all that.

I guess Sony has some thinking to do for the PS6 or whatever it will be called.

 

[Mephisto40]

"Easy and safe"

Video starts with the guy showing a hot glue gun and a pair of snips

you are not upgrading to the super pro slim in 2 years?

They found a way to make more money making the console white and selling plates

People still don't realize that this is why they did white. They know the black controllers and black plates are by far the most popular. It's the same reason why they took the colored icons off the controller only to sell the anniversary edition greys with the icons having the original colors. In the spring they'll probably do the same with the PS2 theme.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I caaaaaaaaaaaan't

PS: still like him/her though
PS2: well, kinda...

 

[EverydayBeast]

Talking about console customization you have systems like the ps2 that missed having an Ethernet port at launch, ps3 you don’t want to customize, and I think ps4 was treated as a VR machine.

Just for the record I like to do silly shit in my videos as a way of being anti establishment lol. EVEN IF I CUT OFF A FOOT I HAVE a backup so I’m good!
