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”.
Yeah. I get that. It makes sense, but I just don’t see it as some thing that really bothers me that much. I spent decades watching TV ads though, so, maybe I’m just more patient?
Sure, could be. I used to not be able to watch movies because I’d be used to TV ads forcing a break every now and then. Took me a while but I couldn’t go back to ad-less YouTube, for example
