If you wish to pick up a black PS5, there is a chance that you might still be able to get one. Although the first batch of stocks of black PS5 consoles sold out, the SUP3R5 website says that people can check back soon, and speculation spreads that it may be available soon.

Just earlier this week, there was a range of limited edition PS5 consoles, with a custom design modeled after the PS2. The consoles are designed by SUP3R5 and it comes in black, which is something fans have been asking for since Sony unveiled the PS5 last year. They went on sale on January 8 and it sold out instantly.

SUP3R5 will only have 304 custom PS5 and PS5 Digital Editions available for sale for $649. It will also only have 500 custom black DualSense controllers. It is best to get this now while you can and if the site does not allow you to make a purchase, you can try again in a few minutes.

So why are the custom-made consoles so few? The PS5 is very difficult to get, which limits the number of consoles that can be modified. It is also a throwback to the PS2's original Japanese release date which is March 3, 2000 or 03/04.

If you wish to have a disc drive, the PS5 and PS5 Digital Editions will cost you $749. If you will bring a normal console at retail, then you will be paying $399 for PS5 and $499 for Digital Editions PS5.

Likewise, the DualSense controllers are set to cost $99 each, and since the customization process involves complete disassembly of the controllers, your Sony warranty for the controllers will be void. Fortunately the console won't have this issue because only the external plates will be removed.

It is also worth noting that you will be purchasing it at your own risk. Sony has already proved that it does not approved third-party companies offering customized PS5 products, which is why it went after PlateStation, a custom plate maker. Little is known about SUP3R5, so proceed with caution.

It also looks like the images SUP3R5 have used to market their custom consoles original came from the site Reddit. This means that the custom consoles that do arrive has a chance to look different, though SUP3R5 does say that the final design may vary.

Where to purchase PS5

While people do know where to purchase a PS5, getting one is very difficult. That is because the consoles is sold out across the United States, according to CNET.

PS5 restocks are coming in and out this month, retailers are looking to replenish for a new year of PlayStation gaming. GameStop had a burst on new PS5 stock this week but after 15 minutes, it was all sold out. It is some indication that stock levels might be rising up to a level where Sony's console is not that difficult to purchase unlike last year.

Fans are asked to keep an eye on Sony's website, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop and Amazon for console updates.
