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, but how long until it doesn't come with a power brick, and you have to supply your own?

I mean, if it has USB PD, that could be a not so unreasonable thing. That is, supposing USB PD supplies as outlets become common.

I was interested to know if that could work, supply wise.

According to these articles, the series x and the 5 pro aim to draw around 200W in-game.

USB-PD 3.1 (honestly, fuck the USB naming standard, seriously.) can allow for 240W draw.

So, kinda yeah?

Yeah. It's crazy to think that USB can now handle 240W. And yes, the naming conventions are terribad but, at least the standards are actually open, unlike VESA's.
