I would love to see the ring used with transparent-frosted side panels so the individual LEDs weren't so obvious and the light could be blurred through the whole panel.
I think it would be difficult. The ring of LEDs were visible through the solid color replacement panels. I think there needs to be an additional defuser in addition to a frosted side panel.

I just ordered my black faceplate and I can’t wait to equip it on my PlayStation 5 but man! I’m glad people are doing Sony’s job at providing us with customizing
Back when the 360 used to make custom faceplates and crazy custom consoles was so awesome. It’s a shame Sony never really gets into the customisation as much as the competition does.
@@pepelaugh6404 I mean its a matter of time at this point. I can see them uploading a video on official custom plates end of the year but if they don’t then they’re missing out on a huge opportunity. I just hope we don’t get plain full colors but actually see designs on the plates
It would be so much better if the PS5 light changed colors. Would be so much better to customize and match with the faceplates. Maybe even similar to the PS3 xmb colors
I think HW wise it can change since it already can make itself blue,white,orange an red if it overheats.It mostly depends on Sony to let you change it in software
Damn, I love the clear plates! I've always loved transparent console stuff. I'm waiting until we get a transparent DualSense....I've had one for every PlayStation, so definitely want to keep that going. I really wish Sony would get on to selling custom plates themselves...there's a definite market for it, Sony going with White on the PS5 has really created interest for people to want to make it literally any other color. Third party just never has the PS logo, or the tiny Triangle, Circle, X, Square design that's become synonymous with the PS5 now. It's the big reason I refuse to pay the prices for them...I have a thing with it not feeling official. Like it doesn't matter in the long run...but I'll always know.
I completely get you. I finally purchased the D-Brand Dark Plates but for the longest time I refused to do so due to the lack of the PS emblem. I really hope Sony would produce official plates but I have this sinking feeling they won't. At most I see Sony doing a black PS5 but no separate plates. I do hope I'm wrong. I remember the plates they did for the original PS4. They only did two plates.. TWO! The PS4 was out for some time but they only gave us two plates. (sigh) Fingers crossed they make official plates.
@@genefactor007 Looks like you're in luck - Sony just announced official plates, and in a bunch of colors too. Red, black, blue, purple, and pink. I picked up some third party black ones myself as I felt the official ones are far too expensive ($55!) for two hunks of plastic.
@@Haktuar Hey, Heartsbane! You know I was really pumped when I saw Sony finally released the official ones. I did pre-order the midnight black in spite of having a pair of D-Brand Dark Plates (1.0) on my PS5. I'm also considering the red one as well. :)
@@genefactor007 how are the D Brand Darkplates? I picked up some pretty good third party ones off Amazon as I didn't wanna pay a huge amount but the Darkplates seem like they're the best quality.
@@Haktuar The quality are insane! So, so good. Very thick. I'd go so far as to say the quality is on par if not better than the official plates. No seams or anything like that. I do like them. I'm just getting the Sony plates because I wanted the PS cutout; I wanted the more 'official' look.
I've had the DBrand dark plates for months and love em. Those clear plates might be really good for people to paint and customize them themselves. Might consider that myself
If you want to block the lights form leaking through the after market plates, you could try to apply some "Aluminum Tape/Aluminum Foil Tape" to the inside as a light block. It will also help to reflect the lights more as well.
Not a fan of the clear case. Would look better if it were frosted honestly. Diffuses light better and still hides the internal details. Love the right LED though mosdef!
I love the design of the PS5. Looks almost alien. The color is perfect. Every other color kinda ruins it for me, but I still appreciate the fact that they gave us the option, whether intentional or not.
Hey Ryan! I think it's so cool of you to take the time to switch out all of those plates for us. It's nice getting a visual of the many different colors out there. Question, do you plan to get the D-Brand Dark Plates? I finally broke down and purchased a set and await their arrival. From what I understand they are made very well and even weighs a bit more than the official plates. I plan to use those until (hopefully) Sony releases some official plates. Oh and of the ones shown in this vid, I think the clear is my favorite. I personally wouldn't display my PS5 that way but it looked pretty cool.
I really wish when the PS5 is on it has a Blue light on really :( Even in standby I would like it to be Blue to(yep I like Blue) :D Shame we can't select whatever colours we want because that would of been COOL :P Oh well.
just got darkplates and ring light. My living room is black and red and its finally going to match my room with this set up. Wouldnt have known about the lights without this vid.
I did the red lights around the fan, then on the interior of the ps Face plate I glued aluminum foil about 1/2 inch wider than the rings and it keeps the lights from shining through the face plates and reflects the light brighter where the ps5 led's shine out by the vents. Cheap and effective.
I've just received my ring and clean plates... can't wait to put it together tonight... already got the colour stripes for the led in front in double rainbow..... going to look nice i think
Iron man suit/panel design on the plate, blue breathing LED in the fan, with an Arc reactor style cut-out/insert in the faceplate First thing I thought when I saw Sonys original PS5 teardown video
the clear with the RGB is pretty freakin sweet. I'm not into RGB enough to do this, but that's definitely the coolest one - especially if your setup has a ton of rgb.
OK, have you all seen all available colors? There are far better translucent covers than this one, like those toned transparent ones. I've seen black transparent cover that blew my mind and were available in shiny or mate version. Now that looked sick! Also there were blue toned ones, red, etc. All transparent. Then, there were painted covers, like with Spiderman theme, or Joker etc. Plus, there is this nice addition for headphones, a holder that you attach at the top of the case, looking very very good. Also, I've seen some sick spacecraft looking controller chargers with light and stuff...
The black plates are the most appealing for me. But I feel the same. I don’t want to store my white plates or sell them off. The white is good and actually looks fresh in my tv stand. The black looks to bulky honestly. I’ll probably go for a black when they slim down the console in the future
@@jonnyfive5000 i kind of like the unique design of the PS5 but it is very unpractical to handle, those plates with the edges sticking out, the PS4 was beautiful but more simplistic and solid, especially the original with the light strip on the top
@@rfh9560 the ps5 design has grown on me. I appreciate the boldness and the sophisticated tech look Sony went for. They used to be the top of the line when it came to audio and video technology. The design harkens back to that mindset Sony had in the 90s and up to the ps3. I hope they continue to to take risks in new games tho. The ps4 they played it safe because they were at their worst financially. So everything was very minimalist all the way to the design esthetic. I didn’t have a ps4 until the slim and pro models but do wish they included the light strip somehow. It’d be great if Sony gave us the option to change the light color and/or dim it on the ps5 thru the settings in the UI.
@@jonnyfive5000 although i like the PS4 design better, the PS5 is more iconic already, they went for a really bold design especially compared to the new Xbox, it’s something that won’t be forgotten. It has its practical uses too, being able to easily remove the faceplates come in handy. The lights are used to convey information, it makes sense not being able to change the colours. I don’t even want them too bright either, could be too distracting
That "gold" one looks like aged PC cases from the 90s that used to be white. I like the LED shining through the solid plastic but only on one side because my monitor us right next to my PS5.
My setup would be RGB ring and clear plates but I would scuff and prep the outside and paint it white, then black. you'd get the reflective properties of the white, the light would carry to the edges, and the outside would just look stealth mode.
I see your BladeHQ exclusive Bugout there! Very nice! I didn't manage to get one of those exclusive models unfortunatley, however I did get a Bugout in blue G10, also with 20CV steel. I absolutley love it. Since I've gotten the Bugout, I've officially become a Benchmade guy lool. It was awesome to catch that in your intro. Do you have any other Benchmades?

I used LED-strips that are really dense and made holes in the Plates to get better cooling too.
