Product placement
PlayStation: ACTS - provides gaming consoles and services. Its interface is operated by users to play games and access services. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's topic. PlayStation logo: APPEARS - a logo on an email and on a shopping bag graphic. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
