Although the PlayStation 5 officially only comes in standard white with a black middle copy, people cannot change their new next-generation consoles. Although many attempts have been made to provide third-party faceplates with different legality, it seems that the most common adjustments are merely modifying the base model white faceplates. For example, one Marvel fan has gone so far as to create a beautiful model with Iron Man’s repulsion on the side.
More specifically, the Reddit user DGR8EST-1987 recently shared their handiwork on the platform and posted photos of the progress from painting the thing to repelling the self. Broadly speaking, the faceplates appear to have been removed, painted red, and then an Iron Man repellent night light was fitted to the side, with additional details to make it appear to burst from the side of the thing. You can see the completed result below:

For what it’s worth, adjusting the PlayStation 5 faceplates seems relatively simple, but be warned that the warranty will usually be void if you tamper with such things. There is also always the possibility that you will break something irreversibly in the process. The PlayStation 5 itself is now available with the version that includes a $ 499 disk drive, while the digital console costs $ 399 – if you can find one of them in stock.
