Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today we're taking a look at the latest official playstation
5 console covers. We've got the galactic purple, which is one of my favorites, the nova pink and
the starlight blue. All of these launch this week on playstation's own website, and they join the
cosmic red and the midnight black that we saw back in january. So we'll get these unboxed, fitted and
take a closer look at the details, and how they look alongside the matching controllers. I'll even
mix and match the colors to see how they come out. So if you're wanting to add some color to your own
setup this could be one way of doing it. And now that there are six colors to choose from, which
one do you think is best for the ps5. OK let's start with the galactic purple. And as mentioned
this is probably going to be my favorite color out of all of the galaxy inspired colors this year
okay and here they are so this is the back plate and this has got the disc slot on the side and
then we've got the front plate here with the playstation icon on top but this color looks
awesome it's kind of colorful without being too vibrant in fact i would say it has quite a flat
matte finish to it as opposed to saturn and it actually feels nice as well so it's got a chalky
finish to it which i wasn't expecting but it's similar to the midnight black place if you tried
one of those but i can tell you one thing with this kind of chalky finish it will definitely
mark easy now just like with the original white plates these new color plates do come with some
small core details there's the obvious playstation cut out on the side which contrasts nicely against
the inside of the console you've got the sony logo on the inside of the plate there are also
these little icons on the back which is what you use to line it up with a horizontal stand
and finally you've got the micro icons built into the texture of the plate itself now these
are hard to see with the naked eye but the fact that they exist is incredible so i'm
not sure if you can see these here i'm trying to focus them on my phone now and i'm using the
macro feature to see it but it's these little icons which is what creates that textured look
right now fitting these plates is really easy now each box does come with some instructions on how
to remove and refit them but ultimately it only takes you a few seconds so first of all lay the
console on its side now starting with the top back corner with the playstation icon firmly grab the
corner with one hand and pull down and slightly out at the same time the plate will now slide
down and off the console we'll now grab the new plate we'll line up at the bottom and firmly press
up and slide up at the same time you'll know when it's fitted because you'll hear this pop
flip it over and do the same on the other side so we firmly pulled down on the top back corner
making sure to slide down and out at the same time again line the new cover up press and slide up and
it will pop again and here it is this is the full galactic purple playstation 5. and this really
does look awesome especially with this matte black center piece that i've added to it and here's how
it looks alongside the matching controller too so we saw this a few months ago released by sony
and even in my predominantly black or grey setups i think the purple looks pretty good
right now let's take a look at the nova pink covers so same as before the plates are inside
this box and each wrapped individually now i knew these would be bright as i've already got the
controller but damn this thing is vibrant i'm not sure how well these colors will look on my phone
but this pink is really bright obviously we've got both plates here we've got the front and the back
and then there's the same details throughout so we've got the playstation logo on the front
panel and that contrasts nicely against the black console we've got the sony logo on the edge of the
plate and those tiny little icons on the inside so again i'm using the macro feature here on my
iphone to try and capture this but these are crazy small we'll get these fitted now so popping the
purple plates off first and then swapping over to the pink ones and here it is well it's definitely
pink there's no denying that if you want your playstation 5 to stand out this is the way to
do it so over here on my desk setup again this is kind of an all black setup but that pink really
pops nicely now i'm not sure if i would opt for the nova pink in my setup but i'll tell you what
this is a really nice color plus as it obviously matches the controller that we've already seen
from sony they look really good together and next up let's take a look at the starlight blue covers
so these are the same as the other two in the fact that they come as a pair and they have the same
details throughout in fact it's probably easier to see the logo and the icons on this plate than it
was with the other two but either way this plate looks really nice as well so we'll remove the pink
plates from the playstation now and we'll swap these over instead now i've honestly removed these
plates about 20 times today so it's getting easier and easier every time that i do it and here we go
the starlight blue playstation 5 and once again this looks nice and what do you think if you want
that blue vibe in your setup whether it's stood up or laid down this is probably hard to pass on and
out of all of the covers that we've seen so far the starlight blue and nova pink are definitely
the brightest also the pink and blue have a more satin rather than matte finish to them they don't
feel chalky like the purple one and here it is paired with the matching playstation 5 controller
again these controllers launched earlier this year if you want the full setup okay now you've seen
the three new colors but if you wanted to mix things up you could have a two-tone ps5 you'd
obviously need to buy two sets of plates but if you've got a mate that wanted to do the same well
you could just buy one each so first up we've got this pretty safe combo and that's the galactic
purple along with the midnight black i think this combo works really really well together next is
the starlight blue and the galactic purple i'm not too sure on this one and here's a final one
that i've tried so this is the nova pink and the starlight blue i think this color combo absolutely
kills it it's giving me a neon switch or even an 80s vibe and i actually only added these two
together just to test it out to see what it looked like but i think it's actually turned out to be
one of the best combos if you want something to stand out of course these are the three new
colors but we've still got the other three colors to choose from there's the cosmic red which looks
great a nice matte red finish to it then we've got the midnight black which is probably the
safest and most popular choice to go for and both of these two colors they actually launched back in
january this year so they've been available for a while and then of course not forgetting the
original white plates and going back to these makes the playstation 5 feel really fresh and
clean but that's probably because i've just not used them for so long oh and if you wondered how
the cosmic red and the nova pink colors compared well here you go i know in the cosmic red launch
it looks more pink or salmon looking but comparing it to the nova pink they definitely look more red
and one thing you might have noticed about my ps5 is the center piece is matte instead of glossy
and i did this to prevent the dust or fingerprints from showing up plus i think it looks better well
this is just a vinyl sticker from dbrand which i added way back probably a month or two after
the playstation launched but again you can buy these from dbrand or there are places on ebay and
amazon that sell the same now i have been showing you the matching controllers alongside their ps5
cover throughout this video but these are all the official color choices that we now have from sony
there's the galactic purple nova pink starlight blue midnight black cosmic rad and of course
the original white then over the last few weeks i have picked up two of the scuff reflex controllers
these are the ps5 pro controllers with instant triggers and mappable paddles and i did actually
do a full review on these last week and as for the cost while these official covers are 45
pounds or 55 they are currently only available to purchase from playstation's own website from
june the 17th they will then go on general sale on july the 15th now they aren't cheap but you
are buying a full replacement set of plates so you can always keep your old white ones and swap
back to them so that was a quick look at the three new console covers from sony which now
join the two colors that we got back in january out of all of these do you have a favorite or
maybe even a favorite combo of two colors and even with all of these new color choices i'm probably
gonna stick with midnight black in my setup but i am tempted to give the purple one to go
okay if you drop a blue heart with ps5 covers in the comments i'll give you a thumbs up for
staying right till the end and if you did enjoy today's video why don't you check out
my ps5 pro controller video next and that covers the new scuff reflex controllers that i unboxed
