Im sitting here in my living room after a workout having something to eat and l was looking at my PS5 and pondering about its design. While Enough has been talked about the overall design of the PS5, I personally dont like it, but I would like it a lot more if they didnt use horrible glossy black. Its pretty clear that the majority of people dont like glossy black plastic in consoles, its scratches up very quickly and just feels and looks cheap and tacky.

The only thing I can think of that may explain this is they could only get the supply needed with glossy black.

Whatever the reason I hope the next model does not have glossy black.

No idea, can't stand glossy on my tech products anymore.

Get the Dbrand center channel matte black skin. I got it on mine relatively quickly after purchase... and it's staying on there forever.

Probably someone at marketing likes glossy, because it looks cool and shiny in photos. These people don't care much about practicality if things.

I hate the glossy look, but it isn't thread worthy.

 

[Sid Of Bee]

I appreciate Sony's boldness but this is one ugly console.

You can use a sticker to make it matte black.

Glossy was in fashion back then, simple as that. Glossy black was a sign of high end tech. Thankfully its over now, but dont worry it will come back like low cut jeans.

Im considering weather to give my PS5 a make over with new plates and mid section cover or I may just wait for a remodel.
I dont know if its a bit OTT buying a new console just for cosmetics and hopefully quieter accoustics.

Because they feel they can do no wrong?

The center channel skin , even alone, is well worth it.

Yes during the PS3 Launch. But then sony went matte with the slim. Same with the PS4 but to a less extent, the launch PS4 had half the top glossy black and half matte, the slim PS4 was all matte.

It was on sale

Yes I think I will , I might also just paint the white plates. Im sure you can get decent spray paints for plastic.

 

[Arioco]

Yes, glossy looks like shit. I'm going to use a sticker on it to make it matte.
