Skin company known as Dbrand is currently selling its very own blacked-out PS5 "Darkplates" designed for the digital edition of the PS5 console. While it might look quite familiar, this is because the previously promised black PS5 by SUP3R5 didn't turn out so well and ended with the company shutting down their social media accounts. However, it's important to clarify that Dbrand will be selling PS5 SKINS.

PS5 'black' edition

SUP3R5 has actually accused certain content creators who have published certain videos claiming to actually have "proof" of its particular scam and attracting viewers through the use of clickbait tactics. The start-up company known as SUP3R5 has reportedly made about 300 of the PS5 consoles, which were reportedly featuring a custom design based on the previous PS2, available only to pre-order over in North America residents back in friday at the price of $649 ($200 on top of the regular SRP for the PS5).

One particular video on YouTube uploaded by 1UP Wonder was hyperlinked by an article from VideoGamesChronicles. The video's title suggested that there was actual proof of the SUP3R5 "scam." After just a short marketing campaign, the said consoles had been able to generate quite a great deal of interest as well as media coverage. A lot of consumers were greatly anticipating the pre-order sales.

PS5 'black version'

However, the launch reportedly ended in quitea disaster when SUP3R5's own website actually struggled to be able to cope along with demand and even took a lot of customer's payment even without them being able to secure a console. Later, its very own website wouldn't actually allow customers to be able to delete their credit card data.

The company reportedly issued a statement promising refunds as well as saying it was particularly "embarrassed regarding how the launch actually went. However, within just hours later, it had then cancelled all of the even successful orders and had even permanently deleted its official Twitter account. This was due to the team allegedly receiving some credible threats towards their safety.

According to Dbrand's Twitter, it is now selling the blacked-out PS5 "Darkplates" for the supposed digital edition of the given console. The company had just released the panels for the given disk version of the console some time last week. As of the moment, they are available for people who have technically said goodbye to the physical media.

The Dbrand digital edition plates will reportedly ship out in May and cost $60.95. Darkplates are reportedly designed to replace the PS5's very own standard (and also not striking) white side panels with new matte black ones instead, according to an article by The Verge. For those that already have the console and want to make it pop out in texture while blending in a little bit more, check out the Darkplates store page to see if the plates are worth it.
