With the PlayStation 5’s bold white design stirring controversy online, many were relieved to hear that a third-party company by the name of PlateStation was offering\u00a0new\u00a0faceplates\u00a0for the console. Almost inevitably, PlateStation found itself locking horns with Sony a few days ago due to copyright concerns, with the company thinking it had seen the worst of its legal battles with the publisher when it was forced to rebrand to CustomizeMyPlates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, however, the company discovered that its dispute with Sony was far from over, with the major console manufacturer threatening to take the site to court over the custom plate designs. In turn, CustomizeMyPlates.com has canceled all pre-orders for its custom PS5 faceplates<\/a>, admitting\u00a0to VGC in a statement that the company has “no other option.”<\/p>\n

“Before we launched, we did our due diligence and were of the opinion that because Sony<\/a> only had pending patents on the faceplates there would be no problem,” the company revealed to VGC in an email. The site was under the impression that the site’s name would be the only issue Sony would take with the third-party store, thinking\u00a0it had\u00a0kept the major company happy by rebranding and cutting all ties with the PlayStation 5 branding.<\/p>\n

It seems that wasn’t the case though, with Sony’s lawyers once again getting in contact with CustomizeMyPlates and telling the store that “Sony\u2019s intellectual property extended to the faceplates.” According to the publisher, if the faceplates were sold in any country, the storefront would quickly end up in court. The site seemingly got the message loud and clear, telling VGC that it was canceling pre-orders and no longer pursuing making faceplates despite the products already being in production.<\/p>\n

It seems this isn’t the end for CustomizeMyPlates, however, who has vowed to offer a number of other console cosmetics that don’t break patent or trademark laws. While all of the\u00a0custom faceplates have now been removed from the site, they’ve been replaced by several skins for the console, which will retail for the slightly cheaper price tag of $25.\u00a0Custom skins for the\u00a0DualSense<\/a> controller are featured too, so those still underwhelmed by the PlayStation 5’s official console and controller designs can expect to get some exciting color changeups from the marketplace.<\/p>\n

As for the PlayStation 5 itself, the console officially ships on November 12, bringing with it\u00a0Spider-Man: Miles Morales<\/a>, Demon Souls, Sackboy: A Big Adventure,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Bugsnax.\u00a0<\/em>It’s currently slated to be a huge release, with Sony revealing that its pre-orders already outpacing\u00a0those of the PlayStation 4 back when it dropped in 2014. It seems likely that it’ll be Sony’s biggest release to date, which is impressive considering the setbacks brought on by the pandemic.<\/p>\n
