Turn the PS5 into a PS1? A carpenter did it

You are among the lucky few with one PlayStation 5 in the living room, but you still can't get used to it to its mammoth appearance or its white color so not suited to the style of your home? Then you might consider this absurd gimmick from a gaming enthusiast carpenter: a wooden paneling in the shape of a PlayStation 1 with which to cover for his PS5.

Yes, this is Chris Solomon's gimmick who, after realizing that the PS5 stood out too much in his living room, decided to make it "camouflage" better with this original project.

After the design and construction of the support (which must be applied above the Sony next-gen console, effectively "hiding" it from view), Solomon armed himself with electric and hand tools and began to carefully carve a series of details of the first Sony console, from the lid of the disc compartment to the logo, to get to the power and open buttons: each element has been reproduced in detail.

"I've always loved video games and also the design of many consoles." Solomon explained. "One of the most iconic (in my opinion) is the PlayStation 1. So today I'm building a giant wooden PlayStation 1 as a shell to cover my PlayStation 5. Maybe it's not the most practical use of my time, but it sure is a lot of fun! "

At a guess, also knowing that the dissipation systems of the Play 5 do not seem to be the best, looking at Solomon's invention we ask ourselves some legitimate questions about the overheating that we could have using such a cover, but it must be said that the idea it's delicious and might even work like decorative object or gift for some nostalgic gamer.
