You might have heard of the third-party customized PlayStation 5 coloured plates being sold online. We actually even wrote about them. But Sony is not allowing the company to continue with its plans. The company even had to change its name from PlateStation to Customize My Plates. The company wrote a tweet on October 30 that it'll cancel all orders and processing refunds over the weekend. Once it's done, those who pre-order the plates will receive an email.

Customize My Plates isn't pushing through with the accessory to avoid ending up with court against the tech company. The brand is pivoting to offering vinyl skins instead.

We know from Sony's dimensions that the PlayStation 5 isn't going to be a small console. But new photos from Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC) reminds us just how big the console will be. The PS5 measures 15.4 inches lengthwise (or heightwise), 10.2 inches deep, and 4.1 inches thick. These measurements Sony shared doesn't even include the stand or its "largest projection." 

It will be larger than the Xbox Series X and bigger than the big consoles like the original PS3, the first Xbox, and the Xbox One. So, you better prepare space for it if you don't have a place to put it yet.
