GothGirlMaxine Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) [Discussion post with linked video] DBrand, a company who makes phone skins and screen protectors etc has decided to make PS5 faceplates. There has been some controversy surrounding this and they've challenged Sony to sue them, even though other companies have tried and failed. Thoughts on this topic? Also, this very informational video has plenty of info on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkke0RNRmfc Edited December 28, 2020 by DaivRules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property_Damage Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I mean, Sony has copyright laws to protect their products get sued! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselmanchild Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If they really want to get sued and build up some street cred, they should start making faceplates for Nintendo products if they haven’t already. Guaranteed lawsuit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DaivRules Posted December 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2020 “We encourage them to try.” as an actual quote is certainly a lot less dramatic than “Dares Sony to sue them!” As long as these serve no function, this will be easy for Dbrand. If Sony makes the case that the plates have a specific function, integral to the performance of the PS5, there may be a legal fight. I don’t see Sony being able to win the case that they have control over who makes what amounts to an aesthetic prosthesis to their console. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zid960 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hope they make them. I want my black faceplate. I hate white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealousZealot Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I want one that looks like the Operators from Arkane's Prey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some Krylon Fusion and you’ll have a black faceplate in a couple hours, once it’s dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to paint or dip or anything. I just want to pay some one for some decent quality replacements so my PS5 is less hideous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroonSauce72 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It's the bit in the middle of the faceplates that needs reworked haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The console itself just looks so butt ugly next to my TV, A complete design review would be more welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristen Danielle Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I personally kind of feel the opposite from most people here about white consoles. I am actually thinking of having my black consoles professionally cleaned and selling them to purchase new white ones to match the PS5, but I will admit that this is mostly a choice I made because I'm redesigning my entire room. I want my consoles on display and my trim in my room as well as my plantation shutters for the windows, decal for the ceiling, light switch plates, etcetera are all white. I found a modified N64 that was rebuilt from the ground up and modded to have a different color LED light that was done in glossy white and I love it. I was originally in the "black consoles only" camp, but my driftwood wall unit that I purchased for my systems and games was stained darker than expected, so now I want the white ones because you can't even see the black ones sitting on it when the lights are dim in the room at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) I don't mind DBrand making faceplates for those who want them, but I'll pass. It's just not for me. The Xbox 360 and One consoles looked nice in white, and the new PS5's look is fine with me. And I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the PS5 controller's design at first, but I've come around. I actually think it doesn't look bad, and Sony will probably come out with different colors of DualSense later, including an all-black one.

LoveInHell Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Dbrand is good but I wish they had more to choose from overall. :/ DecalGirl has so many more options but I think Dbrand has a better quality. I’m not sure? I never used this before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darling Baphomet Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What in the name of clickbait thread titles? Absolutely nowhere near as big a deal as OP seems to think this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) I’d be more interested in a different design with cushioning rather than a different colour. When the vibration hits a certain frequency I get an annoying buzz from the faceplates that I can only quiet by gently pressing them together to deaden the vibration.

Lord_Bane999 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Let's face it the only reason why the other company folded out from Sony's pressure is they were a new company that couldn't afford to fight in court over something they might not win. Plus if I recall even though they claimed the faceplates were protected it wasn't necessarily proven they are anyways, it was just implied.

I question how well the decals actually look on the PS5 due to the curvature of the flaps. 21 hours ago, Lord_Bane999 said: Let's face it the only reason why the other company folded out from Sony's pressure is they were a new company that couldn't afford to fight in court over something they might not win.

Well the other company had the PlayStation logo right on it which is a clear copyright infringement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know in the letter Sony sent them it was based on design aspects of the plate themselves they were trying to claim were patented as with the rest of the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio-piesse Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I would prefer it dark, but what i really really don't like are the curved faceplats. And the disk version is the worst. Even the mock of ikea is far better in my opinion. https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/4/22213222/ikea-playstation-5-ps5-xbox-series-x-boxes-media-cabinet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
