Sony's really splashing the cash for this PlayStation 5 event. Scheduled to be broadcast live this Thursday, the platform holder is getting ready to lift the lid on PS5 with a games showcase. While the anticipation online is palpable at this point, it seems Sony is thinking even bigger. The above 16-second teaser clip is not only doing the rounds on social sites, it's appearing on live television.
That's right -- Sony is promoting the PS5 reveal event on TV. The aforementioned PS5 video was spotted on ESPN:
It's not the only sighting, either. Other ESPN viewers are claiming to have seen the advert too, so there's no doubt this is the real deal.
For Sony to be forking out on TV spots for this PS5 reveal event is pretty astonishing. We understand wanting to advertise the console, or its games, but to market a live stream on national telly? That's a whole other level. It seems the company is really going for it.

Sony’s in it to win it that’s for sure. Their confidence in this event is a very good sign.
Live television. What is this thing you speak of?
Thursday will probably have me feeling like a child on Xmas morning.
Oh man, I'm glad it's only for 3 more days, yeah I think I'll watch it live on 3 am again, just like ghost of tsushima state of play
Impress me, Sony. I can hardly wait!
Just saw this multiple times on espn first take just now.something. big incoming.word up son
So is that a black controller or just the white one in the dark?
@badbob001 Pretty sure it's just the white one.
Thursday couldn’t come any sooner 😣!
Crazy stuff. Must be a big surprise to have TV adverts.
This tells us to expect to show more sports games such as NBA, Madden, MLB the Show, Gran Turismo, etc. Either way it's great Sony is starting to promote PS5 real hard starting this month all the way to launch.
Look, I’m trying to keep my hype in check but if they are freaking advertising it on tv it must be pretty important.
I know this is probably game-focused, but anyone think they will reveal the console at all? Maybe a just-one-more-thing moment at the end?
They're really hyping this up. So long as they deliver on Thursday, then I'm going to be very excited.
@badbob001 I know most people are saying probably not but I’m holding out hope to get a look at it on the 4th.
I'm actually really looking forward to this event, hoping there is a Horizon 2 as just got back into playing the first one.
This is actually quite crazy! Can't wait for the show.
Finally! The black controller looks cool.
Can't wait for this. My xbone was mothballed ages ago. Still love ps4 but but definitely looking for something new now.
@badbob001
The guy who leaked the event seems to think it's likely we see the console. I think its soon anyway if they donr want a leak. Or possibly later in the so called Sega reveal which maybe actually ps5?
So is this a PS5 reveal or just PS5 game reveals I'm confused now because I thought it was just games they were showing
Just been postponed
***** YOU SONY. ITS BEEN CANCELLED. I'll be going to the Series X now. They seriously ***** up. I'm not even joking I can't believe they actually made me get the series X.
Let's hope they kept the receipt!
😉
Can I get some Fs in the chat for PS5's event?
@Lionheart5 if that's all it takes, you didn't want a ps5 in the first place.
You may wanna do something about that anger.

@thefirst To be fair, gamers haven't been impressed with the Xbox 1 and even less so with the Series X. The only people looking forward to it are those that are blindly devoted to Xbox. These are the same people who refuse to acknowledge that Gamepass is anti-consumer, that Phil has taken the brand 3rd party, and that there are no more exclusives.
Thankfully we gamers still have the two best to rely on; Nintendo and Sony!
