By the sounds of it, Sony isn't even getting paid for these ads. They're replacing the art with shit like a video explaining what the universe is. It's just an algorithm they put in to keep it "fresh" and it's amazingly shitty.

Ironic.
It was only a matter of time.
This is satire right?
Whelp looks like the ps4 will be my last Sony console, too bad
same and only console i had, my brother has a ps5 he hardly uses anymore.
Shame on console
There is no reason to get a console. sure they can be a bit more convenient but all the negatives are much worse than any of the positives
every day im seeing my lack of dedicated internet access as more a good thing
There is no reason to get a PS5. There are hardly any exclusives worth playing. The games it does have are either on Xbox, which is generally cheaper to invest in, (especially if it's on gamepass) with the series s. Most games are locked at 30 fps anyway. And now you HAVE to see ads?
Just get a PC or if you really want to stay with consoles, the series s or x on sale are the only options that make some bit of sense. But still, a PC is worth saving for.
The only redeeming thing about the PS5 is the support for standard NVME SSDs. But at that point, just get a PC.

For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don't.

Reminds me of the Steam news page
$80/yr subscription to play online
30% cut from all sales
Ads on homescreen
Lackluster game library, busy remastering perfectly good games
Single purpose device
PS5 will be my last ever console. I don't see the value proposition in consoles anymore with the rise of PC handhelds.
Same for me with my series x, MS has all the same bullshit
Even better. The steamdeck is like the Switch. Dock it and play on your TV. You can even render on a gaming PC and stream to your TV of you want those cutting edge graphics.
Agreed. Just canceled PS Plus. Fuck Sony for the shitty bender they've been on.
