More English in Advertisements
Sometimes advertisers like to break up words into short psuedo-sentences to be more "impactful." haha. So instead of an em dash or colon, Sony makes "On a Sony" a separate sentence in this ad.

Yes, we can say "We got lunch from Times," but the supermarket cannot say "We got lunch!" to advertise what it sells.
And yes, the Sony text is totally impactful; I hope the clear-language specialists are reading this ;-)
