Maybe the dude needs to just run down to Taco Bell and get a new HDMI cable?

He already said there was no picture on the tv. What is he going to take a picture of?
Poor guy, I actually feel sorry for him.
He was clearly nervous and his hands were shaking, he probably didn't even "got it" that he gave personal information to a lot of people. Getting a PS4 Day one and having such issues like that is sad, hoping for the best for everyone else no matter if they are in NA or Europe. I hope I can get mine on November 29th but I don't want NA to beta test it, I want NA to have great fun and post their impressions, pick-ups and so on. Despite all this, great times are coming indeed and I can only wish the very best to us all. Can't wait!

Now he's saying the update finished?
Everytime I read a post of you I want to hug you...
Yeah seemed like he was really excited and i guess the brick just having a toll on him. He probably should not have unplugged it and now he's given away all his info lol.
Also maybe the taco bell units are made cheap to match the food at Taco Bell?

Although the odds may be low of having a broken PS4 its still going to suck for those that get them.
Either that or download the update here and put it on a usb stick.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a PS3 locks up, you can still hold down the power button and it will eventually turn off, without having to yank the power cord out, right? I assume this system probably does the same thing.
While I do believe this is a software/firmware issue, I'm also thinking that something is triggering it, either user error (in this case), or something else.

This is pure gold. The gaf/stream/chat combo is surreal.
Yeah he's one of the most supportive posters out there. Really enjoy his posts.

He's not partnered so no.
He desperately needs some moderators in his chatroom. It's like hell in there.

Well... I wouldnt say that.
The OT had apparently the exact same problem. Than a random guy, streaming, have his console bricked. Also... I read here that Polygon's PS4 also get a problem during streamming (still dont know if the same).
If thats true, and in fact it seems legit, I believe that this could be a serious problem. Those PS4s broked at day 1. There are much more out there, but we dont know about everyone... and not all of them will have problem at the same day.
If its legit how it seems to be... its serious. Probably a big failure rate.
And no... im not a hater. I bought my PS4 already at my country and probably with no coming back (not without headache), and I do not pre-ordered any Xbox One.
But this is serious.

Now lets watch how he tries to open his PS4.
He said he finished the update, he was downloading DCU Online, and unplugged his system while it was "downloading".
Why he unplugged his system, who knows. But you're never supposed to just yank the power out while your console is on, regardless of it downloading anything or not.

Well I guess I'll go ahead and download that. I'm all paranoid about downloading the update from the system now.

Yeah, mine locked up a few times before (first time playing Mortal Kombat and GoW:A). All I did was hold down the power button and everything worked fine after that.
According to some...while the update was downloading.
According to others...while he was downloading DCU.
All in all he still pulled the plug on a system that was turned on.
Yup.
No one knows if this guy just yanked the cord or if he actually tried the method of holding down the power button.

He said he unplugged while a game was installing I believe. It froze on him.
