Interesting. There is a picture that has surfaced that suggests that PS5's white "wings" may be easily loosed and switched out, kind of like the 360's faceplates. Does this make you feel any better about the design if you weren't so keen on it's look originally? Personally I hope this is cool. I need Red Wings.

White PS5 plates appear to be swappable

Although the standard PS5 is predominantly white, recent photos imply that its side plates could be customizable, meaning players can change its colour.

This has been discussed a while, but I think they're just made that way to save on screws in manufacturing. I think the original PS3 was built similarly.

Really? My bad, was it in another thread or something? Cuz I didn't see it. And the PS3 was built to be interchangable? I have my PS3 still...do you mean the slim maybe?

They look like labia

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Can't we have it FLAT? Im not joking, was going to buy it (as always), but I need it to be flat, like the ps4 (i put the monitor on top). Ps3's shape was a disaster for me

 

[Lestat Phoenix]

I just don't think it looks good.

That robotic orafice you are using at home is not how they look in real life.

What kinda oversized labia have you been around?!

*Inserts TLOU2 joke here*

You put a monitor directly on top of the ps4?

Madness

What was that sanitary towel that advertised itself as having wings? Time for some Google and PS.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Please make a Craig the brute interchangeable wing

 

[Freeman]

What purpose do the wings serve? I'm wondering if we could go wingless or with a black low profile one.

Care to elaborate on the disaster?

Don't we all, brother.

 

[All_Might]

I believe that the plate is made that way, in order to have "easy" access to the m.2 bay. The m.2 expansion slot could be on the top, instead of the back.

they help make the console more aerodynamic. You can also put on fire stickers to make it run faster.

 

[Birdo]

You can pop the top off the PS4 slim with four fingers. Doesn't mean it's "Interchangable".

 

[Breakage]

Still wanna know who was responsible for the design. I wonder if it's the same guy who was responsible for the PS4's external design.

 

[banjo5150]

This could be a genius move from a business standpoint. They could sell an insane amount of designs, another way to make revenue.

if your PS5 becomes defective ... the wings spread and it flys to factory in Japan for free repairs...

save on postage..

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Disaster? Not because ps4 is a flat surface, a monitor can sit perfectly on top of it (even with a box to rise the altitude). Problems come when it's not flat

[noise36]

So we might be able to make it not big and ugly?

 

[The Fartist]

The design is ahead of its time, you're all just not ready for it.

 

[Investor9872]

Good. Shouldn't be too difficult for them to give us the option of black wings at launch then!

Like Mothra attacking Tokyo all over again.

 

[Tevious]

Looks like I was right. I hope I can get a black one that is also somehow flat and doesn't overlap the console too much.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I don't see where is the weirdness in my comment .
The ps4 is a rectangle, lays horizontal. You can put things on top. And since my space is really limited, that's the only way I can have a console.

I even have to take into account the size. The ps4 fits okay, but doesn't give much room. So if the ps5 is quite larger, im afraid it won't fit. But the problem of the roundness comes first

Never stack electronics on top of each other.

Not a good idea

I would never do this!

 

[Kdad]

From the Safety Guide packed in with your system

"Do not stand on or put objects on the system, and do not
stack the system with other devices."

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Well, if I follow the safery guide, i would have to return the console, as it's the only way to have one. I've had a ps3 and a ps4 from preorder, and still no problems. That's almost 15 years of no issues

 

[Rossco EZ]

matte black ps5 would look really good i think

 

[Grinchy]

It would be cool, but I feel like it'll still be better to get actual limited edition custom jobs where the other parts go different colors as well. Getting the middle part done in white looks sweet with the black popped collar.

 

[THEAP99]

looks like cheap plastic. not a fan. can probably snap that.

i wonder what the ps5 looks like naked

 

[Ailike]

Can't make a PS5 slim if you don't first have a PS5 ugly.

 

[Justin9mm]

Having had experience and previously working in manufacturing for a number of years, they do not look interchangeable, the design to snap them on and off would be much more consumer friendly. They would most likely be some sort of push button style tabs you could click in and out to get off most likely in all 4 corners.

That's hideous!

Don't make me slice you up with one of these replacement shell pieces.

First thing I'm doing is taking that bullshit off.
