Last year, Sony promised that by February 18 this year, players will be able to buy PS5 console replacement shells in major stores, and there will be “Midnight Black” and “Star Red” colors to choose from. However, this promise has obviously not been fulfilled, and players can still only buy PS5 colorful shells in the Sony PlayStation direct store.
It appears that Sony has quietly pushed back the date of supplying PS5 cases to other retailers. PlayStation Stores in the U.S. and U.K. have updated the case product information, saying that other resellers won’t sell the product until March. Previously, the colorful shells written on the British official website would be on sale on “February 18th”, and now this time has been changed to March 2nd.
PlayStation Stores in the U.S. show dates further back. Previously, the shell information was marked as “can be purchased in this store now, and can be purchased at other dealers from February 18th”, and now it has been changed to “now available in our store, and can be purchased at other dealers from March 31st. “.
That is to say, European and American players cannot buy PS5 console shell products from large resellers such as Amazon and GameStop, but can only buy them from Sony direct-operated stores. In addition, Sony also announced that it will launch PS5 shell products in three colors, “Nova Pink”, “Starlight Blue” and “Galaxy Purple” in the first half of this year.
These five shell colors correspond to the five-color handles that have been sold today. Players who want to start may need to wait patiently for a while.
