Well, that's assuming my PS5 arrives on Nov. 18/19...? The TV is also on order but the supplier says it's OoS at the moment but expecting inventory around Black Friday give or take a few days.

Mon, November 2, 2020, 3:23 PM ESTIf you’ve been following the leadup to the PlayStation 5’s November 12th release date, you’ll know that a company called PlateStation had emerged in mid-October to offer a way for people to customize the new console. For $40, the startup offered to sell would-be PS5 owners a set of panels to replace the PS5’s stock white ones. At the time, you could buy the plates in a variety of colors, including chromatic silver, cherry red, black, blue or jungle camo. But no more due to the threat of legal action from Sony.
Over the weekend, PlateStation, which has since rebranded to Customize My Plates, said it has had to cancel all panel orders due to “patent and intellectual property issues.” The company told VGC Sony’s lawyers said Customize My Plates would end up in court if it continued to sell the panels.
While it’s an unfortunate turn of events, all is it not a loss if you’re still looking for a way to customize your PS5. While it’s a less elegant option, the company has since pivoted to making vinyl skins for the PlayStation 5. You can also get similar products from mainstays like Dbrand. Moreover, we have to imagine this is not the last we’ll see of the concept.

I mean dang...I like small businesses getting people what they want but if you're a business person wouldn't you know pretty clearly that if you're actually gonna steal the IP and flat out make a piece of a hardware that a giant international corporation has put tens to hundreds of millions dollars into that you'll have top dollar lawyers up your ass in a nanosecond?
lol, dude c'mon man. Plus Sony I'm sure wants to corner the market for panels...which is probably exactly why they designed it....so they can sell custom panels...and movies/games/other IP owners can sell Sony rights to print and make panels....genius Sony.

You are in no rush to play anything right? The initial batch of releases probably aren't must-haves for you anyways. I'd sell it, build your rig...and then, when the PS5 is readily available, buy it after the new year.

I would flip it too, if that’s the case.
Unless there’s some PS5-exclusive that you absolutely can’t wait to play. There will be more games released over time, whereas with the PC there are literally endless amounts of games to choose from.

Just got an e-mail from Walmart that my PS5 may be 2-3 days late.
It'll be worth $0.50 by then.
