PS4 Home Menu May Be Getting Ads Soon

4.5
More and more, Sony and the PS4 are beginning to resemble the Xbox 360 and Microsoft from last generation- the same ease of use and development, leading to a favorable environment for third party development, leading in turn to superior multiplatform games and graphical superiority. The same reliance on timed exclusive DLC and exclusive content for multiplatform games, alongside a de-emphasizing of actual exclusives and first party investment. Paid online.

Now there’s another point to chalk up- apparently, Sony are looking to push ads to the PS4 home menu. Neogaf user MMaRsu reports that when he fired up his PS4 to check if Metal Gear Online was working for him, he got greeted by a Destiny logo on his homescreen instead. He doesn’t own Destiny, so he clicked on the icon. Clicking the icon resulted in being directed to the PS Store.

Cokes It's crazy how the community let ads take over the Xbox dashboard. The dash for the Xbox One is already bad, but the advertisements for it are annoying and invasive, the 360 especially. Considering it's a paid service, we should have the options to disable it. Sony is following that same road as Microsoft it seems like. Pretty unfortunate.


Paying $50 a year and still have to see ads is irritating. Steam is free and has no ads, so what's up with this?


Because its PC lol, games are better, also looks and runs better. We can get you`re 60$ games for like 10$ and service is free. Oh and guess what. Free name changes hahahha that`s the best joke of all time having to pay to change your GT...


That's why I switched over two years ago, but I still don't understand where this Xbox Live money goes to.


Probs in their pockets greedy bast***s


you lot pay 1000+ for a pc I paid a one of price of 280 for my xbox one and borrow the games off my friends, whos the real idiot?


I really hope you're a foreigner otherwise you're the idiot who can't spell. Please go read a book, and while you're at it, go read a thing or two on modern day computers.

Consoles are just a marketing scheme that was successful,
Everyone knows a PC has always been the reason consoles exist...
