A few months after the debut, PS5 The design remains extremely divisive, and while Sony has already shut down an accessory manufacturer that has tried to make aftermarket panels for the PS5, Dbrand now dares Sony to sue its new matte black PS5 front panels.
Called Darkplates, Dbrand’s new PS5 addon is not just a sticker you can use to cover the white exterior of the PS5, but are completely matte black plastic panels that attach to the PS5 using the same grooves that Sony uses for ensure the default white side covers.
While some people may worry about playing with their expensive new console, Dbrand jokingly claims that “99.98% of people can successfully install Darkplates,” suggesting that even people are usually afraid. to modify their gaming console should have no problem changing the side panels stored on the PS5 for Dbrand’s Darkplates.
But where things get extremely spicy is all the extra language Dbrand has spread everywhere. Darkplates website practically imploring Sony to initiate a lawsuit for infringement of Sony’s patent and intellectual property (or at least to send a termination and waiver) – a fate encountered by fellow accessory manufacturers Customize my sets last year.

Just below the Darkplates header image, Dbrand even added a line that said “Go, sue us,” while the Dbrand microtext feature on its side panels serves as another jab at Sony, with Dbrand replacing the circle, triangle icons. , square and x Sony with “familiar but legally-distinct apocalyptic rotation, on the classic shapes of PlayStation buttons”.
Available for the standard PS5 (with an option for the PS5 digital edition “soon”), the Dbrand Darkbrates seem to be exactly what many gamers have been asking for since Sony unveiled the controversial two-tone black-and-white façade of the PS5. However, they will not be cheap, as the two matte black side panels plus an adhesive leather in the middle (available in six different models) currently cost $ 61 (apparently reduced from $ 79). This is pretty much the same price as a game, which could force people choose between buying a new PS5 title or updating its look.
But I have to admit, the PS5 looks pretty bright in black and it looks like I’m not the only one who thinks so, because the first three waves of Dbrand commands have run out, the next available wave is expected to be delivered. sometime in May.
However, for anyone who doesn’t really support the PS5 stock design, you may want to act fast. DDespite Dbrand’s confident taunts, it’s hard to say how long Darkplates will be available before Sony’s legal team decides to get involved.
