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".

A PC is something different and not really comparable to a console if all you're interested in is a hassle-free, straightforward gaming experience. Economies of scale make it so that a PS5 is just plain better than any PC you could cook up for that price.

Plus, exclusives are a factor for console choice, sure, but I'd argue that the performance boost relative to PS4 models is worth the price. I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I've been really happy with my PS4 for these last four years.
