Darkplates for PS5 Halted Due to Sony, Dbrand Unveils Darkplates 2.0
We've seen PlateStation 5 rebranded to Customize My Plates, the PS5 McDualSense Controller quashed by Sony's legal team and recently dbrand of Dbrand.com (formerly Darkplates.com) announced their PS5 Darkplates are dead due to a Cease & Desist notice from lawyers representing Sony Interactive Entertainment... however, they've just returned with Darkplates 2.0 for PlayStation 5 at $59.05 each featuring redesigned faceplates to avoid potential infringement claims alongside some translucent faceplates dubbed Retro Darkplates as well. 
Included are airflow vents, LED lightstrips (pictured at left), a color choice of Matte Black, Retro Gray or Classic White alongside middle skins for an additional $9.95 each available for both the PS5 disc and digital edition consoles.
