Support NeoGAF

[TerryWogan]

I would never do that. I haven't seen what the firmware update process is like on the PS4, but I absolutely wouldn't reboot or shutdown something I'm updating unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes it may look like it's hung but it still might be doing what it should be doing. I remember updating the firmware on an optical drive I owned once and I was staring at a blinking command prompt for five minutes.

How long did this guy wait?

He wasn't downloading the firmware, he was downloading DC Universe.

 

[Ezduo]

Have you guys read Slaughterhouse-Five? I'm assuming you have since most of you can read. Most.

You know when Billy Pilgrim is on exhibit for the Tralfamadorians? Like they're watching every little move he makes with his hot lady friend Montana Wildhack?

That's what this is. We really should be ashamed of this.

But the Tralfamadorians knew what was going to happen so I'm pretty sure we're still good.

 

[PAULINK]

Did he really get DDOSed?

 

[Twio]

Holy shit, he got DDOS'd again.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Ok I'm lost. waz going on you guys?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Is he getting hacked or something?

Did he give out other info other than his address for someone to do that?!

As long as he mutes those idiots on Skype chat and lowers his mic volume this wouldn't be quite as annoying.

 

[MormaPope]

Would it be possible to get the 1.0 version of the PS4 OS/UI on a flash drive and then format a new HDD with 1.0 on it instead of 1.5?

 

[kasane]

Did he really get DDOSed?

Prolly since he gave out all of sorts of info on his stream

 

[Alej]

Did he really get DDOSed?

You bet.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Did he really get DDOSed?

Nah. It's like a twitch joke when someone goes offline

 

[jbartee]

This is seriously harshing my feelgood launch vibes. I feel so, so bad for this guy.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This guy...

 

[enzo_gt]

Wait this dude gave out his real address and name on the Internet?

Well :/

 

[blankempathy]

So you honestly believe when they were talking about there being no picture on his television the guy randomly decided he wanted him to whip out his phone and snap a pic of his PS4? Come on.

Do you really believe all customer support is that smart?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Ok I'm lost. waz going on you guys?

When fanboyism, internet hysteria, console launches, and online anonymity combine into a monster.

Do you really believe all customer support is that smart?

Smarter than anyone who would believe the guy wanted a literal photograph of his PS4

 

[Lighthouse]

Why would he need a new router? A simple restart should fix it...

Large scale attacks can "fry" your router.

He is absolutely being DDOS'ed right now, not a joke.

 

[N.Domixis]

Wait this dude gave out his real address and name on the Internet?

Well :/

i think he did lol

 

[fluffydelusions]

So are these all taco bell units that are messed up?

 

[BadAss2961]

PS4 shows a solid light... Stream cuts... Wtf?

lol

 

[Zombie James]

He wasn't downloading the firmware, he was downloading DC Universe.

Oh, ok. That is weird then.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Is the stream open for anything other than him just trying to get the PS4 to work now? Or will there be anything else happening lol

 

[Lucreto]

Is he even doing it right? He doesn't seem to be holding down the button to enter safe mode.

Got a link? lol

 

[doby]

Would it be possible to get the 1.0 version of the PS4 OS/UI on a flash drive and then format a new HDD with 1.0 on it instead of 1.5?

I would guess no. Pirates would be in heaven.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Wait this dude gave out his real address and name on the Internet?

Well :/

and the barcode to his PS4

 

[mysteriousmage09]

PS4 shows a solid light... Stream cuts... Wtf?

lol

Ya I saw that to. Finally solid light, stream dies instantly, "sorry guys".

 

[Sweep14]

This is seriously harshing my feelgood launch vibes. I feel so, so bad for this guy.

He messed up and doesn't seem to be able to follow simple instructions; Doesn't even have a USB stick. No need to feel bad for such a guy

 

[DataGhost]

What does the barcode do?

Why do you think he acted so surprised when he asked him for a picture?

 

[braves01]

Where's the stream?

 

[Ray Wonder]

I was JUST watching someone stream, now he says his PS4 is broken.

 

[Baptizer]

PS4 shows a solid light... Stream cuts... Wtf?

lol

lol exactly what I was thinking. I'm guessing it'll be working when he returns.

 

[Venturer]

Yeh he gave out his name/real address/skype ID/Playstation Serial Number on the stream.

 

[Salex_]

Guys, help me figure out how some people can be so clueless

How the hell do you not know that you gave out your full name, address, barcode, AND Skype? Insane.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Have you guys read Slaughterhouse-Five? I'm assuming you have since most of you can read. Most.

That's what this is. We really should be ashamed of this.

I need to read this book now just to get this reference.

 

[doby]

PS4 shows a solid light... Stream cuts... Wtf?

lol

Yep it definitely looked like something was happening. All because he unplugged it before trying, its like the number 1 rule when troubleshooting electronics ffs.

 

[TheRealTalker]

So are these all taco bell units that are messed up?

Guess so

 

[Flandy]

What in the world did I miss? Whats with all the talk of DDOS?

 

[Zombie James]

Is the stream open for anything other than him just trying to get the PS4 to work now? Or will there be anything else happening lol

Went offline.

edit: Wait, now he's back.

 

[Vilix]

Annnd he's back.

I've refreshed the sight but it keeps saying OFFLINE. Anyone gotta link?

 

[v1lla21]

Don't feel like reading 37 pages sooo, is it broken or not?

 

[xxracerxx]

I am just sitting here eating my beans and enjoying this thread.

The hyperbole and hysteria are outstanding. I feel bad for the people this happened to but it will be fixed.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why do you think he acted so surprised when he asked him for a picture?

Because this streamer is clearly not very bright. He couldn't follow basic instructions his friends were giving him. The PS4 was likely dead anyways but he's just basically spamming the power button hoping something happens.

 

[Papercuts]

Guys, help me figure out how some people can be so clueless

How the hell do you not know that you gave out your full name, address, barcode, AND Skype? Insane.

There's going to be A LOT of this stuff with integrated streaming. Many people have no idea what they're in for with this online trolls and shit.

 

[Twio]

He's back

 

[Jedi2016]

PS4 shows a solid light... Stream cuts... Wtf?

lol

I think that was the stream freezing from the DDOS.

 

[csquared587]

I wonder what would happen if he tried to boot without a hard drive? Id try that, probably wouldnt fix anything though.

 

[fluffydelusions]

back up

 

[N.Domixis]

So are these all taco bell units that are messed up?

no just five out of thousands, everyone is just over reacting for no reason.

 

[Goodacre0081]

well, he's gone offline for the night. anymore meltdowns happening?
