Update: If recent patents are to be believed, the PS5 may finally get an official interchangeable faceplate.

Electronics vinyl skin company dbrand announced earlier this month a new PS5 faceplate that transforms the console into a matte black color. Now the company has announced that it will give the PS5 Digital Edition a similar treatment.

We knew that the PS5 Digital Edition Darkplates would be available, but not at the same time as the disc-compatible PS5. Fortunately, digital fans did not have to wait very long, as the Darkplates are now available for pre-order.

The digital version of Darkplates is priced exactly the same as the disc version at $59, but the price has now been reduced to $49. As before, a skin for the center of the console can be purchased for $19.95 on its own, or $11.95 when bundled with the Darkplates set. Shipping, of course, is $5.

While certainly an expensive upgrade, people have been asking Sony for a black PS5 ever since the console's design was first revealed last year. A removable faceplate means that the console can be customized without resorting to sticky stickers, but Sony has not provided an official means of doing so. It has even taken legal action against PlateStation, which began offering custom PS5 plates last year. Therefore, dbrand is openly daring Sony to take legal action against them over Darkplates.

Of course, being the only serious option to get a black PS5 means that Darkplates has become quite popular. The disc version of the plates is already in its fourth wave, while the first wave of digital versions has only just begun. In any case, shipping will have to wait until May.

According to dbrand, it is possible to purchase both versions of plates for PS5, although Darkplates are only available in limited quantities. In addition, both models will be available in additional quantities in the near future, so there is a good chance that you will be able to get your hands on both.

If you are still wondering where to buy a PS5, you are not alone; PS5 consoles are notoriously hard to come by, thanks to the enormous demand and the fact that duffers are stealing all the stock to make a profit. But if you can get your hands on one, dbrand's Darkplates would be the perfect complement.
