As predicted following yesterday’s commercial, Burger King will offer you a chance to win a PlayStation 5 this holiday. Running from 15th October through 22nd November, you’ll have the opportunity to procure Sony’s next-gen console from the fast food restaurant in the United States. You’ll need to register on BK.com or with the BK App to participate, and any $5 order or above will reward you with a virtual scratch card, with PS5 consoles, PlayStation game codes, and BK coupons up for grabs.
As far as we can tell, you’ll be eligible to win regardless of what you order as long as your sub-total comes to $5. This, of course, includes the Impossible Whopper, which is a plant-based alternative to the organisation’s flagship sandwich. You can find out more information through here. Will you be dining at Burger King over the coming month and a bit? Grill us with extra cheese in the comments section below.

Called it! Do I win a whopper?
@nessisonett You wish!
Can’t have supply shortages when the fanbase are all dead as a result of food poisoning and heart attacks
This is it? No UI reveal?
To be fair, why would a fast-food chain reveal a major PS5 feature anyway?
@Milt Well, the sound effect is definitely part of the PS5 UI, so I'm sure that information will be dropping soon, too.
I'm desperate to secure a preorder.....just not that desperate
Does the offer still apply it you use coupons? I literally never go to burger king without coupons.
I'm not a Burger King fan at all but the Impossible Whopper is surprisingly very good! I fast from meat and dairy half the year (for religious reasons) and it is a much appreciated option.
@Milt did you not see the 10/15 date on the ad?
@Milt I don't get the fascination with seeing the UI, thats one of the things I like about booting up a console for the first time personally
Sad that it is... That sound, is on Zedge, and I am using it as my notification sound on mobile phone.
Classic 'Sony sort of sound'.
If it ain't part of the boot sequence I'll eat me hat!
@Angelus3K That's when the promotion starts.
@Kopite
I dont't want to see the UI for the UI's sake. But i'm curious about all possibilities.
Like the apps that are present, resolution options we can choose, how the friendslist look, the internal media player, the Blu-ray player options, other quality of life improvements compared to the PS4 and that sort of thing.
I don't need to see it, but i'm curious
Unfortunately, my wife prefers Taco Bell.
@nessisonett
Wait but, what happened to the 10/15 date then?
@Icey664 it’s the date the promotion starts
Strange plug for the vegi whopper there. Paid for add, or just a passionate anti meat guy?
@Weebleman Ah right, that makes sense!
I figured that's what the tease was about.
There's only two things I ever get at BK. Their chicken sandwich and they're sausage breakfast crescent. Their fries are awful
@get2sammyb The console is out in 30 days so that is soon so it definitely will be revealed soon.
At this rate be the day before ps5 release
Sony won't even let me buy a PS5 right now, but I can get fat and win one?
Well, I'll just stick to McDonalds when I'm out as this doesn't appear to be in the UK.
Two problems with the Impossible Whopper; they’re cooked on the same grill as the meat, and Impossible tested on animals to make its product.
I’m sure there’s a way to enter without purchase (by law there has to be) so I’ll be looking for that!
@glassmusic I dunno if that's true, in regards to the law. Couldn't you then just say I'll have a million lottery tickets please, but by law I don't have to pay for them.
@Milt Today isn't the 15th...
Not a bad way for burger King managers to pave their driveways with gold. Put in together for one ps5, and offer millions the chance to win it, for the admission price of $5.
If only I had a burger chain!
@TheIdleCritic I believe @glassmusic is referring to the no purchase necessary laws regarding sweepstakes. I'm not sure state lotteries and the like are governed by the same rules.
Thank God it is not Taco Bell this time. My wife would leave the island once a week during the win a PS4 by eating ***** Taco Bell contest. It could have been Chinese, pizza, subs or even crappy McDonald's but no it was Taco Bell just for the chance to win a PS4. I don't think my insides have been right since.
Wtf..... Was this a low key paid commercial for the impossible whopper???
Felt dang slimy lol
@TheIdleCritic I see where your logic is coming from, but this is a contest, not a lottery.

@glassmusic I see! Is this a US centric thing?
@TheIdleCritic Maybe? Haha I’m not sure, I’ve only ever lived in the States. Moving to the UK next year though, so maybe I’ll have to bone up. Haha
Hard pass my friend! Last time I ate BK, I was sicker than a dog and bloated for the majority of the day. Never again, not even for a chance at winning a console I’m not gonna be able to get my hands on for a good part of its first year on the market.
Not a real BK fan, and I’m on a diet to boot, but I’d be tempted if they where doing the angry whopper currently. Now that’s a good burger.
@Kopite People are curious about the UI because Sony said it would be revolutionary and will be one of the main draws/features of the PS5. Here we are less than a month from launch and they still haven't shown it.
@710King I'm sorry but the UI being one of the main draws of a games console? how long do people spend just looking at the UI, the only thing that's a draw for me is the games that I get to play not the menus that get me to the games
@ThaBEN I gwt being curious but people moaning because they haven't seen it baffles me
@Kopite 🤷♂️ Since Sony's making such a big deal about it I assume it must really be special, if not there would be no point in hiding it for this long.
@itsMeaningless Doritoes has a competition to win a PS5 in the UK .
Not a big fan of BK; but even at the chance of winning a PS5, its not worth the risk of eating at a place that is primarily staffed by teenagers that don't actually believe that COVID is a real issue. Thanks but no thanks.
@710King The UI is going to be pretty basic. I anticipate a PS4-like UI with some obnoxious social integrations that take up a large portion of the content areas that you have to slog through even if you don't ever use them. I actually dread the UI reveal.
@thedevilsjester To two-hour ago me. The UI (so far) doesn't look that bad!
@thedevilsjester lmfao you were exactly right about the UI
@710King Its not as bad as I had envisioned it; but yeah I would prefer some kind of toggle that says: "I don't care about any social features ever, so please streamline the UI for me".
@thedevilsjester This feels like a UI for kids, I want a UI for adults. Streamlined, sleek, futuristic, all about ease of access and customization; that would be great.
