There's just something about the PlayStation 2's aesthetic that I really love, but I can't put my finger on it. It just...looks good, you know? Something about the black shell, the sleek logo, and its overall design sticks out in my head.
Well, it turns out I'm not alone. Someone posted their project where they made a PS5 look like a PS2, which is already delightful enough. However, the post brought out everyone else who did the same thing, and it's nice to see so many people with immaculate taste.
PS2 fans show off their PS5s in a sleek, retro attire
As spotted by our fantastic sister site TheGamer, this story begins in the PlayStation subreddit. User Gokeez shows off this lovely-looking PS5, which underwent a special makeover to look like a modern-day PS2. It's an amazing look, and people flocked to the thread to give their praise.
Fortunately, the original poster was kind enough to break down what they used so that the people at home could follow along:
The original listing for the sony logo was taken down but this listing is somewhat similar
For the lights, you could just get the ones that dbrand sells with the plates although the strips from flamingtoast don't reduce the brightness and the colours stand out more https://www.reddit.com/u/Gokeez/s/5gMs19f7XN

This is usually where the story ends, but something really interesting happened. Turns out, quite a few people had the same idea, and took the opportunity to show off their equally-sweet converted PS5s in the thread.
