So, what do you think of PlayStation 5's predominantly white colour scheme? As with the DualSense PS5 controller, the console adopts a two-tone look that's pretty polarising, especially coming off the matte black PS4. It's a bold, risky new direction for the hardware, and as such, not everyone is going to love it.
As you might expect, there are a few images of an all black PS5 doing the rounds online. We saw something similar with the DualSense, so it's only natural that creative fans would want to see what the next-gen console will look like with the white shell inverted.

We like the look of these black consoles, but the two-tone style is definitely growing on us. What do you think? Would you prefer an all black colour variant for PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.

it looks so much better in black
Uuuh the red and black looks awesome! The other one looks like crap...
The new design and colors are super slick and futuristic!
Shorten the "wings" and have them curved and flow with the console body and then I am sold.
I really like the white, I have a white Pro and prefer it to my old black Slim. It just looks snazzier imo.
The black and red really looks like an Alienware PC case, more than the standard white lol.
I'll take the Cylon controller and Kitt car.
Love the white and black. Only decision is physical discs or digital download version.
doesn't bother me, its a games console. it plays game doesn't walk down a fashion show lol
The only thing growing on me about the white and black is the regret i pre-ordered.
I don't expect Sony to listen though.
I agree with mutt, love the design. If the price differential is big enough Iāll be going digital version. I buy all my games digitally anyways as I game share with a buddy to halve my game costs, and In Canada if youāre buying day one digital saves like 12$ per game.
Looks like a console Bruce Wayne would play
'PS5 Fans Have No Taste'
I was all about a black console, but then looked at my setup...
That all black version looks pretty good, looks better than the actual white/black colour console.
please black...please....please
Massive fan of the spiderman one. This console design seems perfect for some cracking special editions
I absolutely love the white design though. Its so different to what we are used to. The creativity on display stands us in good stead for the games we will recieve next gen
I prefer the white one. I actually always wanted the white PS4/Pro but they always got released so late.
I'd get the black one, no doubts!
Nah, two tone all the way, new design grows on me every time I see it. Nice to have options though.
From the ps2 era I owned only black PlayStations. I want a white one now so bring it on Sony, I love it!
@ApostateMage you said it!
Every time I see these pictures, I understand better why Sony decided to go white. It just looks way better and smarter. And this is coming from a guy who wanted everything jet black...
I don't see the appeal of a black PS5 cape [what I'm calling the white part of the console]. Would much rather see other colors such as green, orange, or purple. Blue is my favorite color, however the accent light drives down the appeal of a blue cape
I like the white better than black but would be all over the Spider-Man custom even if I had to wait a few weeks from launch
Yeah Iād go for black if that was an option...
I prefer the two tones scheme
@ApostateMage ps4 pro fans didnt either they were rather loud š
Nah, I prefer the white. I hope it can talk to me in a sexy sultry voice.
It just looks boring in all black really. I wonder if you can change the sides tho and then you could put any colour you want on it. That would be cool š
I want a black one! And for the love of God make it matte from the get go. My launch PS3 was a scratch and fingerprint magnet. PS4, same story... The revised version got it right, eventually.
Black console for me, also must have disk, Physical is much cheaper in the uk and 90% of my ps4 collection is on disk
I would prefer a black PS5 as the white in 2-3 years will look like piss yellow š¤·
it looks way better in black compared to white, i'm not really a fan of white consoles anyway.
@johnny30 many buying this for themselves are adults that have living spaces that they rather donāt look like a childās playroom.
Mind you, I DO have no children yet a room full of LEGO, but my living room, I try to keep looking a bit more adult.
I hope Sony does consider an all-black console. White consoles get discolored and are too easily scuffed up.
If it's easy enough to get into I might just spray paint the shell myself. It looks so much better in black
Ok cool. It goes on itās side, it comes in black, so can I just have one without the popped collar. Thanks.
@Tharsman yeah thatās the point. My Mrs. canāt tell the difference between the PlayStation and the digital receiver, and Iād rather keep it that way. Really donāt need the āohh look at you with your fancy new toyā comments.
I love the white. Black is boring to me as all the consoles ive ever had was black, except the x360. That's just me though.
Nope on the black, white looks 10X better.
Black or white, it is ugly and unappealing as hell.
I like the two tone design, all black just seems boring. Swap the white and black around, black outside white in the middle would look slick.
@Axlroselm Says the guy who thinks XSEX design is way better than this one lol Talk about bland, boring, unappealing and ugly.
@AFCC There is nothing futuristic about it.
It looks like the phantom from 2004.
The future doesnt look like a modem wrapped in 2 sheets of paper.
You can like it, but it's not futuristic.
Woke up today to find it was not a nightmare i had. No, that is the design and color scheme Sony decided on for the PS5.
It does look better all black. I can see huge sales of make your PS5 look pretty items. I can probably do it myself with the various saws, sand paper, and screw drivers i have. I just need some black paint.
All i want is a basic rectangular box in black matte or satin finish with maybe some grey trim.
@Nem yes it does. 'It LoOkS lIkE a MoDeM' oh well, xbox looks like a fridge and nintendo like a toaster...see? Whichever design it is, it's always bad on a different perspective.
But futuristic? Yes it does look.
@AFCC It really doesn't. It's a 2004 design.
But hey, if you think black and white go together and it will stick now when it didnt back then, you are free to do so.
That is not how i envision the future to look like. The black versions with blue or red lights are the ones that look sleek to me.
Sandwich? Not so much.
naa the white & black one looks better to me.
Wish i could get it with the middle slice as super shiny/reflective jet black and the outer parts as a matte black/dark matte grey with a violet/purple light!
That looks so much better in black. It has to have that as an option. The design looks a lot better with the black.
Of course Sony will release in black. They did with PS4 so why wouldnāt they do it again?
Not everyone likes white consoles, I much prefer black
The fact that this is something people are debating is just.....silly. The comments further cement this. It's a game console. How it looks is irrelevant as long as it plays games and functions well.
@Nem
I've got a white PS4 Pro sitting next to a black PS3, WiiU and a Switch quite nicely. In fact it looks quite eye catching and people comment on it all the time. Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about here until you see it.
If "white and black don't go well together" then Zebra's are pretty screwed.
F**k, give me black with red LEDs please
Look... I'm willing to concede these look sexy and I would like one... But... So much money for such a limited thing. Stadia is going to be upgraded in line with these consoles and it's only support that stands in the way of it getting the games. Why blow so much money for something so temporary when you can spend next to nothing for something infinite?... If you have a good reliable 35Mbps It's crazy to do this! Even for a handful of exclusives.
I just feel blocked tbh.
@GADG3Tx87 The fact that it's eye catching should be your give away.
Hey, you do you. But, i won't be agreeing with that.
@lacerz what a weird TV stand lol.
As much as its gunna kill me to not buy at launch, I can't have that white one in my entertainment center, it will just look to much out of place for my liking. The design is fine, but not the color, we should have the choice of an all black version at launch. Im sad really. #ps5
Nvm, was the same design lol.
That looks so much better in black and on its end.
@Kobeandodom It's an easel, and it fits perfectly.
The black and red one is so much better. I don't understand how anyone at Sony would see this and not think "actually..."
No. The white looks amazing! I've had the black PS4 and PS4 pro and now black is just boring.
Curious to see how it would look inverted with a white center and black outer casing
I love it! I hope Sony will release it on black as well.
The full black is infinitely better than the black and white.
Not to mention, the white will fade over time and end up looking like dogs**t.
Nope. It Su-cks !
White & Black = Sexy
Looms absolutely crap in black!
