No 47%
Yes 53%

I never buy consoles at launch. For gen 9, I may hold out until 2023 or whenever the updated revision consoles are released.

But if I were to, I would take the plates off the PS5, visit my local auto body shop, and get an automotive quality paint job on them. maybe glossy piano black, matte gunmetal, or the glossy powder blue from the Focus RS.

Replacement plates are already a thing, and I would be very surprised if Sony didn't offer custom plates themselves at some point. https://www.engadget.com/platestation-custom-covers-change-the-color-of-your-white-ps-5-110027090.html

Which ever one I can do first. But I will definitely not keep it the way it is.

I hate white consoles, so I'm just waiting now for Sony to drop an official black Ps5/Dualsense.

@robbie23: "The original design should of been black to begin with."

They probably did that on purpose so they can charge $55 later.

I like the white version well enough so don't see myself changing it. I think if the console were more prominent in my game room, I might consider it...but I also don't want it to be more prominent than it already is.

Should of included a maybe or other option in the poll.

I like the way it looks, so I don't plan on getting any replacement covers or painting them. But I am open to it in the future.

It's a personal preference thing, mine isn't visible in my entertainment center so it would be pointless to change the plates. There is some I've seen that are pretty cool and for those who have it displayed next to their monitors it would look pretty sweet and unique.

Maybe, but I am sure down the road I may do it for the hell of it. I would like to give it black plates to make it look more like the previous PlayStations, but outside of that...I'm not sure what color...Either give it a Tron Legacy style of blue/black or maybe a Carbon Fiber with Green strips....Something like that....

Nope because it's going to look sexy next to the psvr2 and ps5 controller charger.

I will definitely get the black plates for my birthday. I hate white cause of them getting dirty easily plus it would look better.

Well my original plate on the no disc slot side was damaged in production some how leaving a large grey scrape and ruff marks along it. so I found some cyberpunk-ish stickers and a few anchor stickers and sticker-bombed it.
