We reviewed the Darkplates 2.0 and really liked it! Changing the shell from white to matte black gives the PS5 a sleeker look that helps it blend seamlessly with your other home entertainment components. The new shell even offers better airflow because of the mesh grille vent filters positioned near the fan.
If you don’t yet own a PS5 console, you should get one sooner than later.
Starting tomorrow, April 2, Sony will raise the manufacturer’s suggested retail pricing on consoles. New prices will be:
- PlayStation 5 Pro – $899.99 (up from $749.99)
- PS5 Slim Disc Edition – $649.99 (up from $549.99)
- PS5 Slim Digital Edition – $599.99 (up from $499.99)
If you don’t own a PS5, you can also consider purchasing a refurbished model from PlayStation Direct, Sony’s official online storefront for PS5 hardware. As of this post, the PS5 Slim Disc Edition is still selling for $449 and the Digital Edition for $399. Best of all, you still get the same 1-year warranty as buying brand new.
