Sony’s released a new PS5 commercial which boldly declares the best time to get a console is now. The ad – which covers the whole brand but hinges heavily on first-party giga-seller Helldivers 2 – touches upon topics such as PS Portal, customisable covers (which won’t fit PS5 Pro), and the various accessories available for the console.
In our opinion, it’s a little odd how this commercial exists to illustrate why you should buy the console, but instead goes on to promote the dozens of optional peripherals you can purchase alongside it instead.
To be fair, while the YouTube comments are absolutely bursting with people bemoaning a lack of software, it’s been a huge year for games on PlayStation. While not everything available has been an out-and-out exclusive – that’s just a sign of the times, folks – there’s been no shortage of things to play between the likes of Astro Bot, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Silent Hill 2, and Metaphor ReFantazio.
So we do agree, there’s never been a better time to buy a PS5 – it’s just a shame the global economic environment has made it virtually impossible to bring the price of the actual box down.
