In my opinion, it still looks pretty cheap with its plastic appearance, but it's an improvement on the original at least.
Should Sony or Microsoft start using aluminium?
That could have some ramifications.
Namely in regards to costs.
However it could also be a benefit if the console itself can act as a large passive heatsink.
Plastic is fine, these are cost sensitive products, if it was something you held for long periods of time like a laptop, phone or tablet, then Aluminum would be a big benefit... It would assist with the devices remaining rigid.
See: Switch which will "loosen up" and creek as they age due to the plastic construction, specifically where the Joycons connect.
I don't think they need to use a different material. The right paint job can do wonders for plastic.
I agree with you and wish they would release licensed black covers
I need the red PS5!!
My transparent blue shell for my OG PS5 looks better
Same. My all-matte all-black OG PS5 still looks bettere than these.
Who here has a slim? Is it pretty good may I ask!?
Still no orange. It's like these designers don't get it.
those look nice and sexy
Is this also glossy on one part and matte finish on the other?
I'd rather the whole thing was matte finish, like the OG PS5, but I do like this better than the standard color, so I might go for one of these instead.
Complete matte according to the verge. Silver all day long for me.
Oh, that would be great.
Why would I waste 55 bucks when I can color it myself? Original color is white for a reason, if you ask me...
Salutes in American!... Or French... Or Russian...
