PlayStation wrist-slapped for 'misleading' Gran Turismo Sport TV ad
Sony has found itself falling foul of the Advertising Standards Authority, with an ad for Gran Turismo Sport that aired on UK television deemed as misleading in regards to the game's reliance on an online connection and subscription to PlayStation Plus.
The ad, which screened on October 23rd, showed gameplay that featured a selection of cars and tracks - only some of which were available on the disc for players who were offline, with only 30 cars and three tracks on offer to those who hadn't connected to the internet.
Sony countered by explaining that PlayStation 4 owners were likely to be able to access the internet - and that some three quarters of PS4s sold in the UK had been online at some point in the month of the ad's screening.
