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.
