1
00:00:00,057 --> 00:00:02,807
(paper ruffling)

2
00:00:04,820 --> 00:00:09,850
- dbrand is obviously best known for making colorful stickers for your electronics.

3
00:00:09,850 --> 00:00:14,060
But the problem with stickers, is that it's hard to get them to stick

4
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:20,740
to irregularly shaped objects, like the PlayStation 5, and,

5
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:24,600
well eventually, no matter how precision cut they are,

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,520
they can tend to have problems. Ah, here's my,

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,880
oops, you got a little flappy doodle on my iPhone 12 Pro here.

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,090
So, new idea. Inside this box is two things.

9
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:44,650
One, is what they're calling Dark Plates. Replacements for the ugly PlayStation 5 side panels.

10
00:00:44,650 --> 00:00:48,250
And number two, is I'm expecting a bag of money.

11
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:55,510
Because dbrand sponsored this video, and I did not say how much to pay for the video.

12
00:00:55,510 --> 00:01:00,140
I just said, surprise me. So, I promised that I would unbox

13
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:03,740
however much they paid for this sponsorship, live.

14
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,513
Live in front of all of you.

15
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,903
So far, there's no bag of money.

16
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:15,930
We've got some dbrand skins. I don't know what they're for.

17
00:01:15,930 --> 00:01:20,360
Oh, so it's just plates for the sides

18
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,603
and they still have skins. All right, cool. And then inside here, we have allegedly, Dark Plates.

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,230
I don't hear any bags of money.

20
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:37,740
Okay. Purchased, delivered, you're welcome. install.

21
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:42,180
There was only one correct way, dbrand.com/how

22
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:44,293
Okay, we've got some packing materials.

23
00:01:46,990 --> 00:01:51,010
We've got a piece of plastic. How fun is that?

24
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:54,480
It looks like they don't wanna get sued quite so bad after all.

25
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,000
So the original PlayStation 5 cover,

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,370
has little Xs and circles and triangles,

27
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:08,080
like little tiny ones. And they've gone and they've put a more dbrand spin on that.

28
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,390
So they've got little radioactive signs and

29
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:15,630
skull and crossbones and, little robot heads.

30
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:21,300
Actually, they did a shockingly good job of the detail of this.

31
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,480
No offense, dbrand, you guys always do a shockingly good job.

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,830
It's just never ceases to shock me, that's all.

33
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:33,140
I would say that's pretty mad. The one disappointment I have so far is that

34
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:35,853
I have yet to locate a bag of money.

35
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:40,740
dbrand, you know how this influencer thing works?

36
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:45,230
Okay, so I have the influence, and you have the bags of money.

37
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:48,406
Maybe it's like one of those drug cars, David.

38
00:02:48,406 --> 00:02:50,663
You gotta, slice it open.

39
00:02:52,210 --> 00:02:55,672
Gold embedded in these, side panels.

40
00:02:55,672 --> 00:02:58,089
(rock music)

41
00:03:00,398 --> 00:03:03,953
I mean, they're clear, but you never know. It could be diamonds inside.

42
00:03:06,970 --> 00:03:10,750
(phone dial tone ringing)

43
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:13,253
- [Voicemail] Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail.

44
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Your call has been forwarded to a voice. - Oh, you don't dodge my call so easy.

45
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:23,570
- [Voicemail] Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail service, that has not been initialized

46
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:26,033
by the customer you are calling. - Wow!

47
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:31,050
Isn't that amazing? In the time between them

48
00:03:31,050 --> 00:03:35,339
sending this package and me opening it, dbrand went out of business.

49
00:03:35,339 --> 00:03:41,180
(laughter) The robot's voicemail is not even connected.

50
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:45,820
Well, that's unfortunate. You know what? We're gonna continue the rest of this unboxing, but,

51
00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:50,000
I'm a lot less angry now that I know that they're going through such hard times.

52
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,700
Unfortunately, I guess this also means that you won't actually be able to buy this product.

53
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:58,160
But, that's okay 'cause at least my PlayStation 5

54
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,593
won't be an ugly white mess.

55
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:09,440
All right, let's pop this thing off. To remove the stock panels, all you do is pull up, and,

56
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,620
pull up and slide. Man, this thing is so ugly

57
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:17,493
I think it actually looks better raw dog. Now, let's go ahead and put on the,

58
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,470
what do they call it? Dark Plate? Put on the Dark Plate.

59
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:27,090
When I first heard about this project, I had kinda thought they were gonna go a different route

60
00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:32,110
and like do a thick plate that actually fills in kind of the weird shape of the PlayStation 5

61
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:37,620
and makes it more, square. But, with that said, I mean,

62
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:40,670
I don't know how you would do a mold for something that thick.

63
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:43,780
So I guess it sort of makes sense that they'd just gone with

64
00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:46,800
making it a more unassuming color.

65
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Not bad and kudos.

66
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,930
Kudos on the fitment job. This is like, some OEM grade plastic here.

67
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:59,500
And I mean that in like a good way. Like, I wouldn't know,

68
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:05,310
unless I looked real close and saw that these were like you know, the wrong little texture things here.

69
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:08,940
That this isn't just an official PlayStation 5,

70
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:12,173
ugly, you know, color thing.

71
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:19,990
Okay, so I'm just gonna, I'm going full yellow up in this place.

72
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:24,660
I believe that is a, "Nailed it" moment.

73
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:26,910
Look how perfectly that lines up at the back.

74
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,000
So that's it. That's a dbranded PlayStation 5.

75
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,770
I think I was supposed to be the first one to show one. But based on that they break all their other promises

76
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:42,020
and don't exist anymore as a company, it's possible that other people have uploaded videos with it already.

77
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:45,950
But hey, we tried, Thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video,

78
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:50,550
you worthless liars. And thanks to you guys for watching. Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit.

79
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:54,510
I mean, okay, they didn't lie. They did surprise me. I was, expecting

80
00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:58,753
to actually be paid for a sponsored video. This is, quite unusual.
