PlayStation players can now order a special PS5-themed PS5, but not through Sony, Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon or any other major retailer, but thanks to SUP3R5. Earlier this month, SUP3R5 announced its ‘retro-inspired’ PS5 console and PS5 DualSense controller. At the time, none of the products were available for purchase, but today that has changed. That said, if you want to pick up one of these custom-made nostalgic pieces of hardware, you need to be prepared to pay extra cash.
The special PS5 DualSense controller runs at $ 99 USD, while the console, which comes with the controller, costs $ 649 USD.

All SUP3R5 does for the console is to temporarily remove the side panels from the console. Again, this may not invalidate the warranty, but for now there is no guarantee that it will not be
It is also important to keep in mind that this is a new operation without history, and that the return policy is very vague. In the meantime, full payment is required at the point of payment, although the product will only start to be delivered in the spring.
