Many fans want black Sideplates for their PS5 consoles, but Sony has inelgued the sale by third-party providers in the past. Such a stores went so far that they have provoked the publisher with their sale. Now Sony reacts.
What are the SitePlates? Currently the PS5 is only available in white. But the white side covers of the console, the so-called faceplates or side plates, are simply interchangeable. Sony had shown in a video itself how to take the PS5 apart.
For this reason, different providers had started to record colorful side plates in their assortment. Because the unusual design of the PS5 is far from every buyer of the console. However, a manufacturer has now gone a bit too far and Sony has responded.
That had made the manufacturer: On the side of the manufacturer Dbrand you could also review a few months ago, in addition to different SIDEPLATE designs, plenty of side slides against Sony. For example, it was said that you deserve the Nobel Prize as you have fixed Sony s monumental achievements in bad design .
In the descriptions of the SidePlate offers for the PS5, Dbrand had made fun of Sony and provoked the publisher to a lawsuit. Also on Twitter, the manufacturer had shot against Sony. So Dbrand had published a photo of a plate and written: Get your [plate] before Sony s lawyers do it.
Sony reacts to the provocations of the manufacturer
Sony now responds: The Team of Dbrand has posted a letter from Sony to Reddit (via reddit.com) In the letter, the lawyers of Sony Dbrand call on Immediately and permanently all marketing and advertising measures for Faceplates with the Product configuration of the PS5 faceplates from you or a similar product configuration, including and without limiting all faceplates, which are currently being offered for sale at Dbrand.com.
Specifically, this is about the violation of intellectual property rights, because the product design of the PS5 is protected and only with the permission of Sony can manufacture backplates and other accessories for the PS5. However, Sony did not give Dbrand such a permission.
The answer of the manufacturer on Reddit is a little friendly overall: you can not understand the behavior of Sony, as you finally offer only backplates and you are not a loss business for Sony. Because who wants to use a backplate, still necessarily need a PS5:
Instead of answering them, we prefer to come straight to the point: we decided to give us the demands of terrorists ... for the time being.

If you are currently on the official side of Dbrand, then you will find that the PS5 plates are actually gone from there. Instead, there is a long list of all articles published on the topic.
Manufacturer of SidePlates have no simple situation
Incidentally, the discussion about Dbrands is not the first case where Sony goes against manufacturers of such Sideplates. Because the manufacturers offering colorful plates for the PS5 meet the nerve of many users who are not enthusiastic about the white design of the PS5.
For example, in the case of Customize My Plates, which was forced by Sony s lawyers to give up the sale of colorful side plates. Here Sony had argued that the colored Sideplates were like the PS5 intellectual property of Sony and you want to work against the company as soon as the plates would come to trade.
The reaction of Sony is therefore little surprising in this case. Because the company behind the PS5 has always been consistent against all offers such as backplates or black designs for the PS5.
What do you think? Does the provider exaggerated it and had to react Sony or keep your Sony s action for wrong? Tell us in the comments.
