Unlike with one of the best gaming PCs, you’re usually stuck with a console’s stock design. If you want something different, your only real option is waiting for Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft to release a special edition version or a hardware redesign.Unfortunately, with this console generation, special edition designs have been few and far between. For instance, Sony has only released two true custom variants (the Spider-Man 2 edition and its retro-gray 30th Anniversary models), while Microsoft did something similar with its Halo Infinite and Galaxy Black Xbox Series X consoles. Meanwhile, Nintendo has yet to put out a special edition Switch 2.Given that I wasn’t particularly fond of the original PS5's design, I decided to wait for the PS5 Slim to be released. However, after all that waiting, I figured I might as well hold out a bit longer for the PS5 Pro. I ended up getting a PS5 Pro, and while I really like the extra power and features it brings to the table, its futuristic, two-tone design just wasn’t for me. I had hoped Sony would release some alternative console covers for its pro system like it did with the standard PS5, but after months of waiting, we only got a single set of special edition ones as part of the Ghost of Yōtei launch.
