Hey guys, not sure if this was answered but when the console bricked were you guys downloading a patch for the game or for the system?

This is the first time I have ever heard a console brick because it installed a game update.

 

[Yawnier]

2:12am supposed to be asleep

cant. stop. watching. the. stream.

Yeah, I told myself I was going to bed half an hour ago but that hasn't happened in between this thread and the Parappa one.

 

[Cody_D165]

LMAO he's been saying that the disc is stuck in the thing for like an hour

Just now: "oh wait we took that disc out nevermind"

 

[foxbeldin]

People keep saying five, but I count only three (the OP, the Reddit one, and this stream). Not sure what the others are.

Two on reddit and kotaku

 

[Kerned]

Ok, now I get what's happening. This is so sad, I feel awful for this guy. What huge bummer this must be.

 

[Casimir]

I don't get what's supposed to be so fascinating about any of this.

We're all watching a train wreck as it happens live.

 

[Square Triangle]

He bites his finger nails, this steam bothers me.

 

[Barzul]

This isn't so much a hardware failure as it was user error, it would appear.

Lesson: Do NOT unplug your console while it's on and doing shit. If it won't shut off when you press the power button, it's doing something important and preventing you from shutting it down. Be patient.

That's absurd, it should still work. Companies should make these devices idiot proof to an extent. It's not like he was downloading a system update.

 

[braves01]

He sounds so sad :-(

I can't believe he's been fiddling around with it for four hours. I would have given up long before then.

Oh good to know, definitely puts some of my fears to rest.

 

[Yondy604]

I legit feel bad for this guy, but streaming this means he is clearly doing it for negative publicity for sony. Not cool

 

[kurbaan]

Imagine if this shit was available during the 360 RROD days would have been epic.

 

[hwy_61]

Oh my goodness, that chat is pure filth. Garbage. Human waste.

Poor guy.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Same here my fellow Brits. I said I would stop browsing GAF at 22:00.

 

[Windom Earle]

Hope the poor guy doesn't get trolled further, this could be really bad. :/

 

[ironcreed]

Damn, he said it lasted him only 30 minutes.

 

[low-G]

He sounds so sad :-(

I don't think he has much else in his life.

 

[Darryl M R]

Hoping he's getting enough profit from his live stream to just buy another PS4. Would be hilarious if he's trolling.

Maybe he should consult the almighty Doritos Taco Bell tacos.

 

[PrawnyNZ]

Love the suggestion to try to turn it to Wumbo.

I thought it froze while he was installing and then he unplugged it. Not sure how that's user error.

 

[Gary Whitta]

The chat is fucking gold!

WTF BANDERAS GIFS ON THE STREAM

 

[MegalonJJ]

Unfortunate.

He's been trying for the last few hours and he sounds like a broken man

I would probably feel the same.

Edit: The chat inception is gold

 

[TheAbsolution]

Oh my goodness, that chat is pure filth. Garbage. Human waste.

Poor guy.

He needs some mods and chat bots. Chat is going insane right now. I can't even suggest it.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Twitch chat is so bad.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

People love train wrecks.

But there's nothing happening? Guy haphazardly trying to get his PS4 working after an update getting interrupted apparently corrupted something.

Maybe I missed all the fun bits or whatever.

 

[Calibus]

Well its the people that freak for no reason. Technology will never work with 0% failure rates, there will always be errors when creating these by the millions.

My thoughts exactly. There are only a few thousand out there currently, and a handful of reports. Now if a significant portion are still bricking when there are actually millions out there, then it's caused for concern. Until then, I'm not panicking.

 

[Paches]

Lol, he is reading this thread now.

 

[Goodacre0081]

GAF is on !!!!

 

[fluffydelusions]

banderas gif in the background lol

 

[TheFalc55]

Ive been waiting for him to do the PUP update from pendrive for hours , this is car crash viewing , i cant look away.

 

[DTSAirmaN]

I see Banderas in his stream...hahaha

 

[Jafku]

He's on Neogaf

 

[Ianan]

Holy crap he has this thread up!? HI DUDE

 

[BadAss2961]

lol, he's in this thread now. Banderas is laughing at him.

 

[Jedi2016]

I thought it froze while he was installing and then he unplugged it. Not sure how that's user error.

The "he unplugged it" part.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh hey Gaf is on lol.

 

[Toski]

Oh my goodness, that chat is pure filth. Garbage. Human waste.

Poor guy.

You've never seen a Twitch chat before? This is par for the course.

 

[Uiki]

ANTONIO!

 

[PAULINK]

He's reading the thread omg

 

[stump sock]

hahaha he's reading this thread.

Hi guy!

 

[Riedinizzo]

he's reading gaf, rofl

 

[owlbeak]

I thought it froze while he was installing and then he unplugged it. Not sure how that's user error.

He said it froze, but he's also said he was trying to shut it down and it wouldn't respond to the power button so he yanked the plug.

He hasn't clarified what happened that made him do that.

Not saying it is or is not his fault, but based on what I've been watching, the guy's not a tech-savvy person and based on what he has said, it sounds like he just pulled the plug on the thing while it was doing a background install.

 

[jbartee]

[LowParry]

Has there been any fixes for this yet that have been successful?

 

[solarus]

Twitch chat is so bad.

So bad it's good.

 

[Baptizer]

I really need to stop watching this. I just can't stop though.

 

[Twio]

He's reading this thread, holy shit

 

[Phreaker]

He's watching this thread.

Yeah, the steam and this thread are calming down now.

I though it was 4-5 but I guess that included polygons which turned out to be fine. BStill cant stop laughing at all these meltdowns from 3 detective units out of thousands. If it were in the 100s than that would be worrying.
