Update: Sony's PS5 advert which shows the console being played while upside down has been deleted, suggesting that it wasn't some clever homage to the days of tꩵhe original PlayStation.

While some 🦂players have found that they can get their classic consoles working again by turning them upside down, it seems that Sony isn't keen to encourage the same behavior from its new consoleᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ. Whether the advert will see the light of day in future (after a brief edit, of course) remains to be seen.

Original story: A new Sony ad shows the PS5 being us🅠ed upside down, and ཧI'm starting to wonder if that's just how it's supposed to be positioned.

Actually, it's pretty clear Sony just messed up... again. Consoles always go disc-drive-down, plus PlayStation itself shows the PS5 right-side-up in countless🔯 promotional materials, not to mention the console's instruction manual. And ꧑yet, a new ad shared to Sony's official Twitter account briefly shows the console set up in a TV stand upside down. It's hard not to notice an emerging trend here.

Back in December, head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios Hermen Hulst most ironically revealed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he'd been playing ဣhis PS5 upside down. This wasn't an official ad for the PS5 - it was just a cute video of his cat being a cat while Hulst played Bugsnax - but it was still something to see such a senior PlayStation exec blaspheming the company's flagship product like that. Of course, Hulst promptly cropped the tweet to obscure the blunder, but as Sony is being reminded yet again today, the internet isn't s⛦o quick to🦋 forget.

Hulst never issued an explanation on his situation, and I'm guessing we aren't going to hear anything from Sony on the above ad. It's fairly obvious in both instances that a mistake was made, and according to , a relatively harmless one at that. Even so, one more goof-♔up like this and I could see this becoming meme material, if it isn't already fated as such.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while free🌟lancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for𓆉 managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
