Initially I was ready to throw my money down for one if I could but I kept thinking about it and something seemed a bit off so I never even bothered. After the story about cancellation popped up on Siliconera, I went to read the tweets and, lo and behold, they erased their Twitter account. Add on that how many people were mentioning that after the fiasco they couldn’t remove their CC info from the website. Yeah, I’d say it was a scan from the get-go...
I’ll be at work. Picking up my ps5 disc edition from Best Buy on the way in and my copies of AC Valhalla and Demon’s Souls will be delivered to my job that day. I’ll just enjoy what I can that night but I have the whole weekend to myself, so I’ll just enjoy in full then
On their twitter, they’ve been answering these questions. The plates are not 3D Printed, made from industry standard plastic. They will also be ensuring proper fit and dimensions upon having a unit on hand prior to shipping any sets to consumers but Sony did already provide the dimensions to them. I mean, SkinIt has the dimensions to make form fitting skins already, just like most accessory makers get dummy units or dimension outlines prior to product releases to ensure stuff fits properly.
If Sony made the whole potential for interchangeable plates possible on purpose, I fail to see how the warranty will be voided unless one improperly removes/installs the plates (and damages the console) or sends a unit back for repairs and doesn’t put the original plates back on.
So, on that note, I don’t see why the site can’t share the news about the product. The makers already claim the plates are unofficial and many people have clearly expressed wishing to customize their systems given many are not impressed with the base color scheme alone, so 3rd party accessories and plates are going to be a huge market
Ordered matte black set. If the product is shoddy, oh well, I’m just out $40 bucks. Also have some custom skins coming for the white faceplates, so I’ll be covered either way.
@theMEGAniggle Sony does own Funimation but it doesn’t necessarily instill confidence that they’ll have the app on the ps5 at launch. The ps4 app is still laughably bad but at least better than crunchyroll’s efforts on the console

Wonder Woman 1984 (i’m sure that was a joke but just in case lol)
Re: HBO Max Streams to PS5 from Today
Finally! I was going to be a bit miffed if I couldn’t enjoy WW84 on my big screen since my LG doesn’t support hbo max natively

Re: Ubisoft Wraps Development on Immortals Fenyx Rising a Month Before Launch
Hyped! Played the Stadia demo via laptop with my dualshock 4 and I liked what I tried, so definitely picking up for both ps5 and switch

Need Funimation and Crunchyroll to confirm they’ll work on PS5 day one
