Back a couple of months ago, PlayStation revealed that they were looking to do a collaboration with Sports Icon LeBron James by creating a custom PlayStation 5 and controller. As of yesterday, thanks to a video Tweeted by LeBron James, we now have a visual of what this PlayStation 5 will look like and his reaction to getting this limited edition console.
What does the PlayStation 5 look like, and what was LeBron James’ reaction?
From what we can see from the video that was released by LeBron James, the console he received is a black PlayStation 5 and features some Iconography and wording which ties in with his Basketball career over the years, which says, “Nothing is Given. Everything is earned.” which is both written on the console itself and the controller right in the centre.
During this reveal video, LeBron James showed us how happy he was to finally receive this collaboration as he was over the moon once he received it and was even going to put the console to use later that night. Throughout the video, LeBron James showed his admiration by saying,
“This is insane right here. You guys don’t understand. Being a kid from Akron, having a collaboration with PlayStation? Oh my goodness. I gotta give a special shoutout to PlayStation, you guys are unbelievable for this collaboration. This is so dope.”
It is safe to say that LeBron James is very happy with his brand new console, whilst also giving a shout out to PlayStation.
