Have you ever owned any of the previous generations of the PlayStation? If so, you’ll absolutely love the latest PS4 ad…

Prepare to take a three-minute walk down memory lane with this brilliant PlayStation ad that looks back at all the different PlayStation generations from the very first console to the latest PS4.

At the start of the video we’re transported back to 1995 when the first ever PlayStation was launched by Sony (it was officially launched in Japan in 1994, but it wouldn’t hit western markets until September 1995), but time gradually progresses in the video and we get to see the PS2, PS2 Slim, PS3 and finally the new PS4.

Throughout the advert we’re also teased with various PlayStation franchises that we’ve grown to absolutely love and adore over the years (along with a few subtle plugs from the lads at Dominos).

From Tekken to Metal Gear Solid and from Crash Bandicoot to Gran Turismo, watching this video is sure to transport you back to a happier time in your life, when bills were something for your awl lad to worry about and the only woman of your desires was Lara Croft.

Babe…

Well-done PlayStation. This was the ad we were looking for (it is certainly better than this one).
