Gaming fans have got some of the most bizarre but mind-boggling ideas in their heads. They never shy away from coming up with unique and unimaginable things to impress the entire community with their creativity. And it seems that one PlayStation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation-5/] user did the same, by turning their PS5 into a PS2. This is also interesting as most of the community members on Reddit got surprised by what they saw, regarding a PlayStation 5 getting turned into a retro version. Not to mention that it looked identical to the originally launched console from the year 2000. FAN TURNS PLAYSTATION 5 INTO ITS 2ND GENERATION COUNTERPART, LEAVING EVERYONE AWESTRUCK ONLINE Recently a Reddit user, by the name of ‘seymourbuttz214’, made a really impressive post on the PlayStation subreddit where they showed off their PS5. However, they revealed it in a stunning manner, giving it a PS2 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-call-of-duty-playstation-2-netflix-streaming-amongst-the-23-other-things-that-make-45-year-old-tom-bradys-nfl-debut-look-ages-old/]-themed overhaul. It had a black cover and the old PS logo. The similarity was such that one of the commenters even wrote that they initially “thought it was a ps2 for a sec”. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2023-01-08-231819.jpg] To which, seymourbuttz214 replied with a hilarious comment by saying, “Dave Chapelle Voice “Gotcha B*tch!” Haha but that’s what I was going for”. Another fan however said: “Might be my favourite look. That or the retro ps1 plates”. Another thing to note is that the font the fan used to write ‘PS5’ was similar to that of PS2, thus giving it a hypnotic vibe at a single glance.

Interestingly, they were also successful in making their PS5 look a lot like PS2. Looking at their work, someone asked, “Where did you find these PS1 accessories? Looks awesome”. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ss-3-5.jpg] Replying to the question, they wrote that the the “Controller was a new hope gray shell from Amazon, colored ps logo was FlamingToast, colored buttons and DPAD I took from a broken DualShock 4.
