Sony reportedly shuts down Customize My Plates’ plan to sell custom PS5 covers; the latter cancels all pre-orders.
The original custom plates company Customize My Plates cancels all the pre-orders of the customized PS5 plates after a threat from Sony. Further, they are also processing the refunds for the pre-orders.
Can we customize our Sony PS5?
We have been following the event to the PlayStation 5’s November 12th release date. As per a report from Engadget, PlateStation has been emerging since mid-October to propose a method for people to customize their new console.
According to that report, the startup proposed to sell the future PS5 owners a set of plates to replace the PS5’s standard white ones for $40.
Moreover, at the time, we could purchase (pre-order) the plates in a variety of colors, including blue, cherry red, black, chromatic silver, or jungle camo. Though, no more due to the warning of a legal lawsuit from Sony.
As I’m sure some of you will be finding out. Due to patent and intellectual property issues we will be cancelling all orders and processing refunds. We’ll work hard over the weekend to get this done so please bare with us. Once complete you’ll receive an email.

However, across the weekend, PlateStation has rebranded its name to Customize My Plates. They have said that they “had to” withdraw all plate orders due to “patent and intellectual property issues.”
Further, the company told the Video Game Chronicles (VGC) that lawyers from Sony said to them that Customize My Plates would “end up in court” if it proceeds to sell the plates.
Although it seems like a less luxurious option, the company has shifted its focus into producing vinyl skins for the PS5.
Sony’s awaiting release
After the disruption in launching its PlayStation 5 earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sony decided to seek an “end-of-the-year-launch.” However, the excitement and hype remain the same.
