I can't re-upload and embed the pictures at the moment but at the link you can see the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5 and Mainichi Issho (Sony cat Toro & friends) sets. The small glossy piece of the PS4 case to the left of the indicator light that splits the case is actually the HDD slot cover. It can easily be removed and was clearly an opportunity for customized plates. I think the PS4's design helps the customsplates mesh with the console's overall aesthetic a lot better than the 360's faceplates ended up doing. I wonder if we'll start seeing third party ones.
It would have been cool if the indicator light was actually white and the color you saw was dictated by a translucent piece attached to the HDD cover plate. Being able to change the color of that light would have been really neat.
The only issue is that from what I can tell these ones aren't actually available to buy individually. You have to order a PS4 and choose a custom plate. Did I understand that right? |
