Two distinct styles
Across the PS5 bundles and DualSense controllers there are two distinct varieties that area available.
While both share the same beige-y colorway, the use of black and gold as the primary art color on both is intentional and deeply meaningful.
The gold artwork evokes and relates to the Japanese art form of kintsugi, where gold is mixed with lacquer to repair broken ceramics; while the black artwork is very redolent of the Japanese art form of Sumi-e, where black ink is used on art.
The result on these PS5 hardware items is distinct styles and a collector’s dream: I, for example, simply must have variants of both in some form.
What’s actually on offer?
Whast makes this hardware launch special is that it isn’t a single-product release like a single DualSense or console cover. There are multiple things on offer here, including:
- A black-artwork-themed PS5 bundle
- A gold-artwork-themed PS5 bundle
- A black-artwork-themed PS5 controller
- A gold-artowkr-themed PS5 controller
- Gold-artowkr-themed PS5 Slim console cover
- Gold-artwork-themed PS5 Pro console cover
As a result there’s plenty to consider, and plenty to weigh up depending on how hard you want to go.
As you can see, I’ve mentioned two different colored artworks there, and this is perhaps the most interesting thing about these limited edition products…
