The PS5 now has an advert system built into the dashboard user interface you can’t disable without disconnecting from the internet.
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”.
I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.
That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.

See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.
