Interesting... I didn't realize that the SBR version of the PS-90 was going to be available directly from FN - It had looked like you'd have to do it yourself. The PS-90s with the long factory barrel look a bit silly, IMHO, but with the shorter barrel it regains the high degree of coolness of the military original, and will be worth waiting for. Now if they can issue it in black, and get the price of the ammo down, we'll be able to play Stargate SG-1...

The PS 90 is available in black stock (currently short supply and a price premium.) You can also have the green stock dyed black.

You can SBR it the usual way. Use a Form 1 to the ATF, with all the fingerprints, photos, and $200, and when approved, send your barrel to someone who can shorten it for you. (I suggest trosusa.com - and don't buy the bull that it can't be done due to the chrome lining - sales hype.)

The brass catcher is a nifty and affordable accessory.

The optic is quite bad, but easy to replace with a $150 rail that accepts any good scope (like an Aimpoint red dot) and a flashlight and/or laser if you like.)

There is an upcoming version that has a rail integrated, instead of the optic.

Ammo pricing isn't so bad if you don't compare to military surplus prices.

My advice is to get one before Hillary bans them.
