Support NeoGAF

[pestul]

Did the op seriously post this and disappear, what the fuck

He's on the phone with Sony Support.... man.

 

[pants]

1. Post on GAF telling people to get their warranties ready

I only now realised OP did this.

OP:

 

[Epcott]

Caller: Yeah, my PS4 is broken. Can you help me?

Sony Customer Support: Ha ha, get the fuck out of here. Wait, let me call Shu to help you...

 

[amacross]

I think if firmware upgrade fails you can just boot up in safe mode(hold power button) and try it again.

 

[Barristan Selmy]

The fact that he's posted, what, three times? That's very suspect.

He said he's on the phone with Sony, give him a break. He's probably troubleshooting.

 

[Salex_]

1. He didn't do any troubleshooting.
2. He didn't post any evidence.
3. Made it seem like this was a widespread problem.
4. Instantly left.

Okay...

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Any pictures OP?

 

[enzo_gt]

Did the op seriously post this and disappear, what the fuck

It's barely been 20 minutes. He's probably on the phone with Sony like he said.

 

[braves01]

Move away from the light!

 

[GYNGA]

Reboot the console?

 

[PJV3]

He's on the phone with Sony Support.... man.

He should give us the phone, this is serious.

 

[Kinyou]

He's probably playing Battlefield 4 right now.

Considering how multifunctional those new consoles are, shouldn't he be able to play it, post simultaneously on neogaf, twitter, facebook, google+ and order a pizza at the same time?

 

[spindashing]

The fact that he's posted, what, three times? That's very suspect.

Three times. 3 times. Xbox 360. 3 Red Rings.

I got it.

 

[pestul]

Launch and could be a game issue gkk

Yeah, well we did all go through that with our Wii Us until a couple of patches came out as well.

 

[Zombie James]

I wouldn't be so quick to judge the OP. No doubt failures can and will happen.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The fact that he's posted, what, three times? That's very suspect.

BUT DID HE REBOOT?11411,11?1?!1!1

 

[darkwing]

Banderas save us

 

[MADGAME]

Three times. 3 times. Xbox 360. 3 Red Rings.

I got it.

Half Life 3 confirmed

 

[MThanded]

OP is currently tied up. Shu came through the window and silenced him.

 

[oVerde]

DAT 60fps

Spoiler

failures per second

 

[Silky]

Three times. 3 times. Xbox 360. 3 Red Rings.

I got it.

[Valnen]

Reboot the console?

Not a good idea to turn it off if it was in the middle of a firmware update. That's just asking for a brick.

 

[Marleyman]

 

[PJV3]

I really don't want two sets of lights telling me I'm fucked, it's over engineering.

 

[Dylx]

The light on the ps4 is solid when in use, mine flashes on and off. isn't the red or flashing red of over heating.

They have directed me to re download the 1.50 firmware onto usb.

For those criticizing, if this happens to you (hope it doesn't) refer to this thread for help, skip past the "jokes"...

 

[coreyerb]

Control(command) + f + 'dylx'. Page 2, page 3.

 

[cyberheater]

On the other hand I really don't understand why it's so hard for the OP to keep updating this thread.

EDIT: Op just updated. Thanks.

 

[Risk Breaker]

After playing a brief game of NBA 2k14 I quit and inserted my battlefield 4 disk. The system prompted for an update, so while watching the progress bar (Around 20%) my controller light turned from blue to white. Hasn't worked since...

Get those extended warranties ready! and SCEA on speed dial!

That's, uh, very weird.

Did you try pressing the power button for 30 seconds (or more) when powering up the PS4 to access recovery mode (if retail models have it)?

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Yeah, I want to see the receipts OP.
It should be illegal to claim to own a PS4 without supplying proof.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you own a PS4.

 

[d0nd]

ho boy i hope this does not happen friday morning

 

[ambientmystic]

The media outlets are eagerly refreshing this thread, gleefully waiting for further details to report on their various sites like hungry, hungry vultures.

 

[chugen]

op respond
pls
r u here

 

[CozMick]

I wouldn't be so quick to judge the OP. No doubt failures can and will happen.

I have no doubts, but seriously posting on gaf before even rebooting?

 

[Marcel]

He said he's on the phone with Sony, give him a break. He's probably troubleshooting.

How can he talk to Sony with Taco Bell's Speecy Spicy Triple Steak Crunchwrap planted firmly in his mouth? Give the phone to me.

That sucks; hope it works.

[malfcn]

Feel for the OP.
Nothing worse than getting a new toy like this and having issues.

I'm confused. I thought you did the 1.5 update. Can you explain exactly what happened. Have you tried the safe boot?

 

[SJRB]

Well at least he fixed his avatar.

HERE WE FUCKING GO

 

[Paganmoon]

Yeah, people should chill about the OP, but then again 20 minutes is like 3 days in internet time.

 

[red731]

Nice.

 

[Artex]

Robots came out of his controller and killed OP.

 

[B.O.O.M]

All hardware have a failure rate. I'm sure few PS4's will mess up at launch too. Not really surprising

For the sake of OP hope it starts working. Less of a hassle for him/her that way

 

[calder]

This is what makes me nervous about launch day - if you to to a launch event you know that, no matter how well a console is made, at *least* 2 or 3 people out of every hundred is going to have their nice new device crap out either immediately or in the next few weeks.

I look around and just hope it isn't me.

 

[Boke1879]

On the other hand I really don't understand why it's so hard for the OP to keep updating this thread.

EDIT: Op just updated. Thanks.

Dude he was on the phone. I'm sure He's most concerned with getting his issue resolved first.

 

[TheOMan]

So it sounds like a bad install of the firmware?

 

[Vaiim]

Good luck getting it sorted mate. Hope it's not serious for all our sakes.

COD 720p debacle
Low review scores on some first party games
DS4 problems (well that wasn't today but you know)
Now this.



I just read that Kotaku has similar issues, and the sample size is pretty small.

COD 720p is on the devs
Review scores are opinions
DS4 problems? The analog sticks? Those were abused on a show floor
"This" is still unproven.
