00:00:00.057 --> 00:00:02.807
(paper ruffling)

00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:09.850
- dbrand is obviously best known for making colorful stickers for your electronics.

00:00:09.850 --> 00:00:14.060
But the problem with stickers, is that it's hard to get them to stick

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:20.740
to irregularly shaped objects, like the PlayStation 5, and,

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:24.600
well eventually, no matter how precision cut they are,

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.520
they can tend to have problems. Ah, here's my,

00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:32.880
oops, you got a little flappy doodle on my iPhone 12 Pro here.

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.090
So, new idea. Inside this box is two things.

00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:44.650
One, is what they're calling Dark Plates. Replacements for the ugly PlayStation 5 side panels.

00:00:44.650 --> 00:00:48.250
And number two, is I'm expecting a bag of money.

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.

00:00:55.510 --> 00:01:00.140
I just said, surprise me. So, I promised that I would unbox

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:03.740
however much they paid for this sponsorship, live.

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:05.513
Live in front of all of you.

00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:09.903
So far, there's no bag of money.

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:15.930
We've got some dbrand skins. I don't know what they're for.

00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:20.360
Oh, so it's just plates for the sides

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.

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.230
I don't hear any bags of money.

00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:37.740
Okay. Purchased, delivered, you're welcome. install.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:42.180
There was only one correct way, dbrand.com/how

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.293
Okay, we've got some packing materials.

00:01:46.990 --> 00:01:51.010
We've got a piece of plastic. How fun is that?

00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:54.480
It looks like they don't wanna get sued quite so bad after all.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.000
So the original PlayStation 5 cover,

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.370
has little Xs and circles and triangles,

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.

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.390
So they've got little radioactive signs and

00:02:11.390 --> 00:02:15.630
skull and crossbones and, little robot heads.

00:02:15.630 --> 00:02:21.300
Actually, they did a shockingly good job of the detail of this.

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.480
No offense, dbrand, you guys always do a shockingly good job.

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:26.830
It's just never ceases to shock me, that's all.

00:02:27.690 --> 00:02:33.140
I would say that's pretty mad. The one disappointment I have so far is that

00:02:33.140 --> 00:02:35.853
I have yet to locate a bag of money.

00:02:36.850 --> 00:02:40.740
dbrand, you know how this influencer thing works?

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:45.230
Okay, so I have the influence, and you have the bags of money.

00:02:45.230 --> 00:02:48.406
Maybe it's like one of those drug cars, David.

00:02:48.406 --> 00:02:50.663
You gotta, slice it open.

00:02:52.210 --> 00:02:55.672
Gold embedded in these, side panels.

00:02:55.672 --> 00:02:58.089
(rock music)

00:03:00.398 --> 00:03:03.953
I mean, they're clear, but you never know. It could be diamonds inside.

00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:10.750
(phone dial tone ringing)

00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:13.253
- [Voicemail] Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail.

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.

00:03:19.610 --> 00:03:23.570
- [Voicemail] Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail service, that has not been initialized

00:03:23.570 --> 00:03:26.033
by the customer you are calling. - Wow!

00:03:27.110 --> 00:03:31.050
Isn't that amazing? In the time between them

00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:35.339
sending this package and me opening it, dbrand went out of business.

00:03:35.339 --> 00:03:41.180
(laughter) The robot's voicemail is not even connected.

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,

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.

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.

00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:58.160
But, that's okay 'cause at least my PlayStation 5

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:00.593
won't be an ugly white mess.

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,

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:12.620
pull up and slide. Man, this thing is so ugly

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,

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.470
what do they call it? Dark Plate? Put on the Dark Plate.

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

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

00:04:32.110 --> 00:04:37.620
and makes it more, square. But, with that said, I mean,

00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.670
I don't know how you would do a mold for something that thick.

00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:43.780
So I guess it sort of makes sense that they'd just gone with

00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:46.800
making it a more unassuming color.

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.080
Not bad and kudos.

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.930
Kudos on the fitment job. This is like, some OEM grade plastic here.

00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:59.500
And I mean that in like a good way. Like, I wouldn't know,

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.

00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:08.940
That this isn't just an official PlayStation 5,

00:05:08.940 --> 00:05:12.173
ugly, you know, color thing.

00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:19.990
Okay, so I'm just gonna, I'm going full yellow up in this place.

00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:24.660
I believe that is a, "Nailed it" moment.

00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:26.910
Look how perfectly that lines up at the back.

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:33.000
So that's it. That's a dbranded PlayStation 5.

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

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.

00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:45.950
But hey, we tried, Thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video,

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.

00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:54.510
I mean, okay, they didn't lie. They did surprise me. I was, expecting

00:05:54.510 --> 00:05:58.753
to actually be paid for a sponsored video. This is, quite unusual.
