\nBeloved tech skin company Dbrand has challenged Sony\u2019s legal team after disputes surrounding their new PS5 faceplates. After years of creating skins and cases for phones, laptops and other devices, Dbrand announced that they would be creating PlayStation 5 faceplates later this year. \u201cWe won\u2019t be accepting orders until we have stock at our Toronto HQ, ready to ship,\u201d the company wrote on their official subreddit. \u201cIf CD Projekt RED has taught us anything, it\u2019s that selling products before they\u2019re finished is a bad idea.\u201d \u201cIf you\u2019re among the millions of humans who didn\u2019t get a PS5 for Christmas, stay calm when you see these go out-of-stock. We anticipate that the demand will outpace supply at launch, but rest assured Faceplates will be a permanent fixture in our portfolio.\u201d \u201cOn the other hand, if you\u2019re among the millions of scalpers hoping to differentiate their overpriced PS5 with a custom faceplate, we encourage you to sign up for the launch notification here.\u201d Dbrand are not the first company to attempt the sale of custom PlayStation 5 faceplates. Before the launch of Sony\u2019s new console, custom faceplate manufacturer PlateStation were set to release multiple forms of custom PS5 faceplates that would allow fans to create a more attractive console. However, Sony quickly threatened legal action over the new company\u2019s products. \u201cSony\u2019s lawyers told us\u2026 [that their] ntellectual property extended to the faceplates, and that if we continued to sell and distribute them in any country, we would end up in court,\u201d the company announced. With one faceplate product threatened already, one fan asked Dbrand what their plans are for keeping the PS5 faceplates on sale with the looming threat of Sony\u2019s legal team. \u201cAren\u2019t you guys worried about PlayStation taking this down? If I recall correctly, there was some company that tried selling these, but had to take it down due to sony\u2019s demands,\u201d a fan asked. \u201cWe encourage them to try,\u201d Dbrand responded.<\/p>\n
