I'm ok with this as long as it is under the "what's new" tab, and not in the dashboard itself.
Isn't this the same as PS3? Whats new section shows what is essentially ads?
What exactly did you expect from the What's New tab?
So, I logged on to my PS4, went to the What's New feed and noticed ads for Warframe and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug in between my trophies and stuff.
German PSN, PS+ sub.
Not sure what to think. Thoughts?

Actually i would like it if the ad for the trailer would actually bring me to the trailer instead of the facebook page of the movie.
I have no ads on my What's New
Let's be clear if what people are declaring what is showing up on What's New page as ads then Xbox has PlayStation beat by leaps and bounds in how many ads are at the system level menu...
Miggy11 sure plays a lot of Battlefield 4 for someone who only rated it 1-star.
Pre-order CANCELED.Where's the outrage!
I don't even bother with the What's New section anymore, to be honest. Do you guys check it a lot?
Here's how they look
Games and movies ads are fine as long as they're unobtrusive. When state farm, Toyota, Allstate, Mt Dew, or Doritos ads start showing up, then we've got a big fucking problem
So? If true does that make his opinion or concern less valid?I'm thinking this is the first time you've touched a Ps3 or Ps4.
Where's the outrage!
Me too man. I read the thread title and though: "Great , they did it. Now I bet when you log in the background splash screen is for McDonald's or something." It's pretty relieving to read the thread and realize everyone is somehow getting upset over him scrolling to the "What's New" section, which was meant for advertising everything on the PSN store in the first place.You scared me for a second.
PSN ads have been on the What's New section for ages on both the PS3 and PS4.
Now if they were on the actual UI and/or if the ads were non gaming related, there would be hell to pay...
This, although I wish PS+ subscribers had an option to opt-out or at least filter the content of the ads.Ads in What's New tab and PSN is store is ok. Putting them on the home UI is NOT ok.
Until they break that rule i have no reason to cry.

Ads like this don't bother me at all.
Have you used an Xbox One by any chance?Yup. No problem with those. I wouldn't have had the same problem with MS either had they kept to that. They don't though. They shove ads into every menu on the system but settings and things like that.
My PS3 got an ad for Redbox Instant by Verizon under the streaming video apps. I didn't download that app, but there was the ad for it. Couldn't delete it, either. Haven't booted up the PS3 in a while, so I couldn't tell you if it was still there.
I'm sure stuff like this will come to the PS4, too.
