An inventive YouTuber turns the regular black and white plastic casing of PlayStation 5 into one made out of solid brass, resulting in a unique look.
Despite already being a stunning console with its futuristic design, the PlayStation 5 looks even more incredible when made entirely out of brass. But while some lucky owners of the newest Sony console are playing around with custom designs, the general public is likely to face a worsened shortage of PS5 supply.
The recent accident in the Suez Canal, which has seen a giant trapped ship blocking off the entire channel, has had severe repercussions worldwide. Not only has it already cost the world economy over $50 billion in losses but the gaming industry might also be hit with harsh consequences. There are reasonable fears that the Suez Canal blockage might contribute to an already considerable shortage of PlayStation 5 consoles. The insufficient supply of consoles has led to a widespread presence of scalpers who resell PS5s at massively inflated prices, and the situation will probably escalate even further thanks to this shipping calamity.
YouTube content creator DIY Perks has transformed the regular black and white PlayStation 5 casing into a custom one made entirely out of brass. While acknowledging in the video that the original design of the console is among the most impressive and recognizable console styles in years, the author has nonetheless decided to elevate it to a whole new level. After all, as DIY Perks admits, the striking exterior is just some plastic. This thought brought the author to the decision to make a brand new casing out of higher quality material. More specifically, brass. The video covers the whole process of remaking the PS5 and turning it into a shiny creation of metal. Needless to say, the end result looks like a premium piece of gaming equipment that way. Additionally, the visual rework could serve some practical purposes, as brass is sometimes used as a solution to make heatsinks. Thus, the new casing might be a least somewhat more effective for distributing heat than the original one made out of plastic:

The current generation of consoles continues to be dominated by Sony, judging by the first sales figures shared by the company. As relayed by well-known industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, Sony shipped over 4.5 million units of PlayStation 5 during Q3, which covers the last quarter of 2020. This is undoubtedly a strong start for the newest gaming platform, which is likely to become even more popular once all the supply problems are dealt with.
The PS5’s design is amazing, to say the least, but the ability to customize it makes it even more impressive than it already is. DIY Perks did use special skills and equipment to rework the plastic casing into a metal one, but even with that in mind, any inventive person should be able to give the console a unique look. Hopefully, Sony recognizes the demand for additional PlayStation 5 color options and will introduce a few official solutions to choose from.
