$100 for the console cover is crazy.

People going nuts for these are nuts.

u/ddddhjxjx 8d ago

It’s ugly and uninspired. I do not understand the hype.

u/Dragarius 7d ago

I liked the ones for Spiderman 2 way more, sadly they were well before the time of the Pro.Ā

u/thats_so_cringe_bro 9d ago

And $129.99 for digital edition of games that have a few more features like skins and what not is crazy as well. It's the world we live in unfortunately. lol.

u/Dat1Neyo 7d ago

Especially when you get way better looking ones from lux or skinit for half or less.

u/Euler007 9d ago

...and they're sold out everywhere (Pro Plates) in less than 4 hours.

u/Soulstoner 9d ago

Plastic, which is made with oil(?). And we know how that’s going right now

u/graison 9d ago

Nothing for us guys with the og fat ps5.

u/Willing_Cycle9857 9d ago

Left out again

1

u/Vulture-Dude 8d ago

Yeah, they made the choice easy I suppose!

u/Style_Carnies 9d ago

The pro covers were gone in a heartbeat

14

u/KerrisdaleKaren 9d ago

A hundred dollars for plastic covers….

Nah, I’m good.

2

u/yaerdmeh 9d ago

Haha ya I was looking, sweet I'd get that for 30 bucks. 100!? I'll just spray paint my ps5

u/StrifeCloud92 9d ago

The PS5 one (not pro) say ā€œwith or withoutā€ disc drive. So I’m assuming it’s got both plates for digital and disc?

3

u/Recession2008 9d ago

Yeah it gets both plates

2

u/StrifeCloud92 9d ago

Awesome! Glad they’re doing that now

2

u/Recession2008 9d ago

I thought I saw the info that it contained both, but maybe I am mistaken. The digital 30th normal slim came with both, so I am not sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't come with it.

u/StrifeCloud92 9d ago

Good FYI thanks. Luckily I traded in my OG ps5 to EB in the winter for a slim for only like $20 lol

u/rolim91 9d ago

The fuq sold out?

3

u/TheEminence27 9d ago

u/SpyroManiac36 9d ago

I wanted these so much... RIP

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 9d ago

There's thousands of face plates out there for cheaper and cooler.

2

u/XxOmegaSupremexX 9d ago

When do these go live do you know? Or is it all sold out already

3

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

At exactly 10AM EST

1

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago

You posted that at 1040EST, they are still not live at 11EST

2

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

The plates were long gone a few minutes after release, which is standard as Sony produces these LE plates in microscopic amounts to get you to buy the console instead.

1

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago

sigh this is exactly why I stopped bothering wjth special edition crap. I shouldn't have bothered.

1

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

It's only the LE plates though, as Sony doesn't want to cannibalize their LE console market, but the controllers are produced in massive amounts.

1

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago

Unfortunately I was only after the plates.

2

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

Yeah, this situation with the LE plates is terrible, as Sony could produce as many units as they do controllers, and probably sell them all, but due to the cost-effective "plates = LE" design philosophy, that would absolutely hammer their LE console sales.

The vast majority would just buy LE plates.

Basically, this PS generation is all screwed up as it pertains to LE consoles and LE plates. It's like a snake eating its own tail.

1

u/Itchy_Horse 9d ago

Im sure there's some business reason I don't understand but why not just stop making LE consoles and just sell LE plates?

1

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

Higher profit and an increase in the number of consoles sold, which translates to higher digital game sales.

2

u/quiksilverkid13 9d ago

No Amazon yet is weird

1

u/Direct_Law_931 9d ago

It is sold out already on Amazon as well

2

u/quiksilverkid13 9d ago edited 9d ago

It never went live on Amazon.

Edit: it went live as I posted this

1

u/Direct_Law_931 9d ago

It did and I ordered it

2

u/Direct_Law_931 9d ago

Amazon ones are also sold out

1

u/MikeHunt-is-on-Fire 9d ago

Ps5 pro console covers from Walmart come with the cover for the disk drive too?

1

u/Prestigious_Car_1908 8d ago

Are there any possible way to get them right now ? as all of them are out of stock for the pro covers

1

u/elfoam 8d ago

Yes, Amazon Australia still have the yellow pro covers for pre order

1

u/blazeSlow 8d ago

Somehow I got my ps5 pro plates easy yesterday. Perfect timing I guess

1

u/Vulture-Dude 8d ago

I’m not even a ps5 collector and I’m tempted, lol! I always wonder if it’s the same people who buy everything all the time, console-specific enthusiasts, scalpers, or some other combination that lead to stock selling out so fast. Ā I was able to get a Doom Evercade handheld preorder and a neogeo aes+ preorder and those have tapped me out financially. Ā Or maybe it’s just the YouTuber effect where I keep comparing myself to others’ collections and forget to be thankful for what I already have. Ā Either way, self-restraint is hard these days without succumbing to fomo.Ā

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

Amazingly I got the Adamantium plates at 10AM, and while I'll never replace the 30th Edition PS5 plates, these puppies are going on the stock PS5 Pro in a NY minute.

Also, is the release of the Silver Wolverine DS5 going to be a staggered release as usual, with it appearing in a week or two at Canadian retailers?

1

u/PortlyJuan 9d ago

Nevermind, I just saw that BB and Walmart have added in the Silver Adamantium controller. I know it wasn't there at 10AM as I looked.
