Sony deletes ad with upside down PS5

9 Jul 2021

Whoops.

Sony has deleted a PS5 ad after it was discovered that the console in question was positioned upside down within.

The video ad showed off a father and son playing God of War — which is pretty darn adorable in itself — but it wasn’t long before people realised that the PS5 powering the game was actually the wrong way up.

For starters, you really should have your PS5 mounted on its stand to make sure something bad doesn’t happen. With that taken care of, a disc-based PS5 should always be positioned so its disc drive is on the bottom when sideways.

Consider this your friendly PSA of the day.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
