More games should embrace custom plates for consoles like the PS5.

I'm always excited to see custom PlayStation plates for games. Availability outside of Japan is pretty limited at the moment, and some users find it unfair that country exclusives exist, but there's enough demand that Sony should be capitalising on it. I have a feeling a user in Tokyo might be able to help me get a set.

The plate for the FF Rebirth collection is pretty sweet, and I can see one coming with a plate set. I'd also like to see some of the more dynamic themes for the home page turn into custom plates. It seems like wasted opportunity for Sony to not capitalise on the demand.

It's interesting to see some negative reactions to the design of the custom plate. I think it's pretty cool, and I appreciate the effort to depict the controller on the plate, even if the design doesn't fill out the entire thing. Others prefer a more subtle and less flashy design, which I can understand as well, but I do wish that more was given to the controller. If you're going to depict it, you might as well go all in!

There are some jokes about people who live in a white room with nothing on display, but I don't think that's a common situation for most people. I do see value in paying a bit extra for something that's going to be visually pleasing, especially if you plan on keeping your console out on display.

And then there are people who never see the point in custom plates if they don't display their console. There's a lot of stuff out there that displays your console, but sometimes you just don't want to see it. I get that, and I also understand that keeping a PS5 vertically placed might affect its longevity.

There's a lot of jokes and trolling in the thread, but it's obvious that there's demand for custom plates among the PlayStation userbase. A lot of people are just interested in the LeBron James-themed plates, but even that has its own controversy about the price.

If nothing else, hopefully this Diablo 4 custom PS5 plate discussion has introduced you to the idea of plates and motivated you to start looking at your own consoles. The custom Diablo 4 PSN avatars are also pretty cool.
