Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

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.

There are hardly any exclusives ~~worth playing.~~

Even if there were, that's all the more reason not to buy it. Exclusive anything is anti-consumer bullshit that should be illegal.

Agreed. At least SOME of the games are coming to PC... Oh but they need all your personal information so you're basically integrated into their ecosystem whether you like it or not.
