It's a bummer to hear that our existing PS5 plates won't fit the PS5 Pro; it looks like we'll have to hold off on flaunting those custom colors for a bit longer. But hey, with the Pro's hype surrounding enhanced performance, it might just be worth the wait for some killer new designs

Well, it’s a bummer that PS5 console covers won’t be compatible with the PS5 Pro—it just feels like another opportunity for Sony to squeeze out more cash from dedicated fans. Still, with those upgraded specs, it’s hard not to get excited about what's coming, so I guess new plates might be a small price to pay for better gaming performance
