PlayStation Meeting invites are beginning to hit the inboxes of games media, but they’re completely fake. Sent from a standard Gmail account as opposed to an official Sony address, the emails promise a 20th February blowout, which will purportedly reveal the “future of PlayStation”. It’s similar to the correspondence the platform holder has used for the PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro in the past – but it’s all completely phoney of course.
While we weren’t worthy of one of the invitations, various sites within the Gamer Network got one. Nevertheless, we figured it was worth pointing out that these are completely bogus before someone shares the email on 4Chan and it starts gathering momentum. There’ll probably be another year yet before the PlayStation 5 is officially announced, so just take it easy and enjoy the ride – don’t get suckered in by obvious fakes.

My website got one lol. Yeah, no way is this legit.
Ironically, the fact that we're the only site not invited actually makes this more realistic.
@get2sammyb Haha! xD
i don't know if we won't get anything ps5 releated this year.
i think that they will atleast tease or mention the ps5 at psx in some form.
but yeah no real big ps5 news until next year and most likely the main ps5 event will be at 2020 sony's e3.
Checks email for fake PS5 invite
@Quintumply I'm holding that gif personally responsible for you, @Octane and I not getting Dreams beta codes. Works well here too though.
@get2sammyb I immediately thought you knew it was fake b/c you DID get one. 😂
Sorry you didn't, must be with your KH3 review code. 😢
"There’ll probably be another year yet before the PlayStation 5 is officially announced"
No good can come of that. If it isn't announced by summer their entire social media exposure will simply be over run with "where's the PS5?" trolls. See any Nintneod post get overun w/ "Nintnedo Direct when?"
I know they still have Days Gone and TLOU2 and probably even Death Stranding for this year, w/ Ghosts for early next year, but even fi it really isn't coming out until holiday 2020 they still need to acknowledge it. Especially since Microsoft will probably take advantage of Sony's absence at E3 to promote Xbox Next Scarlet whatever. How long does Sony want to remain silent on next gen while MS touts it's new box and Switch is selling like hotcakes? They cant' be silent for the next 13 or 14 months, they'll be buried in the news cycle. Just what do you expect to write about the next 12 months if not PS5? The next Dreams beta in 6 months?
@rjejr The thing is, it's all in Sony's hands. Even if Microsoft announce first, every single article about it is going to be footnoted with something about the PS5. They'll be fine.
@get2sammyb that would be a good reason to wait after microsoft has announced the next xbox.
I vote this site be renamed Fakebusters: A PlayStation Story.
@get2sammyb "They'll be fine."
I'm pretty sure the only reply to that is "Famous last words".
Or whatever the equivalent of Nintnedoomed is. I'm pretty sure Sonydoomed isn't a real thing.

Sounds like someone is jeallllllllllous they didn’t get an invite.
Just cuz you mad, don’t be trying to ruin the fun for those who did get invites.
@stu123 Probably for attention. Or just for the lolz.
This is gonna be a long year lol.
Well what if they turn out to be real and this is all a new marketing stunt from Sony?
YOU'LL LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT SAMMY!!!
Someone’s trying to get you all into one room. I wonder why...
@kyleforrester87 That's a scary thought.
