Yellowing consoles, a recurring problem for owners of the original PlayStation, can easily become a thing of the past, and while that has its charms, a brand new retrogaming console is still nice to have. In response, Yoei has unveiled a solution with a high-quality transparent replacement shell, now available for pre-order.
Priced at $89, this shell is compatible with the 5500, 7000, 7500 and 9000 models. What sets it apart from other products? It's made from MABS, a material that is more translucent and glossy than traditional ABS, offering a more modern visual effect while retaining a texture and strength similar to the original casing.
Deliveries are expected next week, so retrogaming enthusiasts won't have long to wait. More details are available via this pre-order link.
Our source Retro RGB, recommends Yoei products:
"Quality clear shells have become a passion for many collectors and gamers, but the market has long been flooded with mediocre models. Some shells were so thin and fragile that they made the console unpleasant to hold. Fortunately, manufacturers such as Yoei and Retro Game Restore continue to produce robust shells, offering reliable and aesthetically pleasing alternatives. For those looking to personalise their console, these brands represent a guarantee of quality."
