For those who haven't been on social media or the internet since Thursday, PlayStation finally unveiled the hardware design of the PS5 at their event. On top of showing a sleuth of first- and third-party titles, Sony also ended their stream on a high note with the official unveiling of the PS5's design. So far, the reception has mostly been positive to its design, with only some expressing their disapproval. Nonetheless, the sleek black and white futurist design is certainly eye-catching and cool (I gush all about it here) but for those who aren't happy with the two-tone shades, fear not: there will be special editions.

PlayStation Vice President of UX (User Experience) Matt McLaurin recently answered some fan questions about the PS5 over on LinkedIn. McLaurin touches on the new user interface, which will receive a "complete rearchitecting" over the PS4's UI which has received its own fair share of backlash and criticism. The VP then goes on to talk about the criticisms leveled at the PS5's two-tone black and white look; something that fans took upon themselves to Photoshop and reimagine a wide range of potential special edition consoles with different shades of colour. McLaurin responded by stating that we will be seeing PS5 special editions, which will also be "customizable in ways previous gens weren't".
