A black version of

Sony's

next-gen game console

Despite the offer from an online retailer in the USA who

advertised

the

in a black custom design on its homepage, users will have to be

content

with the white original version for the time being, if they could get one at all.

Dealer in the US modified PS5: A black Playstation 5

At the beginning of January, dealer SUP3R5 from San Mateo, California, near

San Francisco,

announced that it would be

bringing

a

PS5

in a black retro look to the market, which was externally similar to the Playstation 2, a predecessor model from 2000,

should remember.

The provider has thus taken up an express user request that has been

circulating in social networks

since the new

Playstation 5 was

first published

.

Sony

has not approved the modified model, however.

In the case of the version of the

Playstation 5

specially modified by the dealer

, only external changes to the design were made.

The interior of the console remained unchanged.

The white side cover of the original

PS5

was replaced by so-called “faceplates” in black.

The

DualSense controller

from

Sony

was also given a black panel.

Rush to the black PS5: Special Playstation 5 sold out after 20 minutes

The pre-sale of the revised

Playstation 5

started on January 8th and triggered a mad rush at the provider, which the website of the US company could not withstand.

Tomsguide, an American online magazine for technology and information technology, reports that the entire contingent - 304 in total - of the modified black

PS5 was sold

after just 20 minutes.

But the run on the

Playstation 5

in black was far from over.

On the contrary: The dealer SUP3R5 received countless messages from disappointed users who could not

get hold of

a black

PS5

.

The frustration among users was so great that dealers received numerous

threats

against the company and its employees.

SUP3R5 reacted promptly, canceled all pre-orders received and admitted major problems with the sales modalities.

Problems selling the Playstation 5: Provider receives threats from PS5 fans

The reason for

stopping

the sale of the black

PS5

, the

US

dealer

stated

via Twitter that there was “a credible

security

threat

”.

In addition, the tweet contained the information that buyers from whom the money for the special

Playstation 5 has

already been debited will get it back.

After a short time, however, the tweet was deleted again.

Uncertainty spread among users.

After all, the digital version of the next-gen game console from

Sony

in the redesigned

cost a

whopping 649 US dollars (about 533 euros), the version with drive even 749 US dollars (about 616 euros).

Meanwhile, there are first reports on social media that the

money

for the black

PS5 was

actually refunded by the dealer.

Nevertheless

, fans of the Sony console have to bury their

hopes for a

Playsation 5

in the classic black hue.

Even if the provider announced that they wanted to sell the consoles again as soon as security is guaranteed.

Controversial provider of the modified PS5: fans continue to hope for black Playstation 5

Right from the start, SUP3R5, the third party provider of the

Playstation 5

, was not without controversy.

The dealer suddenly appeared at the beginning of the year.

There has been no online review to date.

Besides the modified

PS5,

no other items were offered.

In any case, many users were skeptical from the start about the black version of the provider.

After all,

Sony

had not approved this.

If the PS5 is defective, it is therefore unclear whether the manufacturer's guarantee and right of return apply.

For the time being, the fans of the

Playstation 5 will

have to make do with the original, white version of the console.

At least if it

is available again

after the

PS5 has been

sold out

.

Even so, there could be an official version of the PS5 in other colors in the future.

Since

Sony

has so far put a stop to all providers of individual side parts of the console, there is speculation whether the Japanese electronics company will bring the console to the market in other colors in future.

The black Playstation 5 would not be the first specially modified edition of the console from Sony anyway.

Finally, a luxury

refiner

created a particularly extravagant version of the

PS5

.
