Yeah the PS4 is bricked totally now.

Is there a picture of the steps in the manual for doing this? I want to see how clear they are compared to how badly he's screwing it up.

Guy is streaming his broken PS4(He broke it by unplugging his ps4 while downloading DCUO which had stopped loading), complains to customer support for 4 hours whilst simultaneously being trolled by the people in his stream(Internet and all that), Ign decides that this is worth posting an article about. Finally through the troubleshooting in that 99% troll comments section he takes his HDD out, tries to turn on his PS4, gets an error, but at least it boots. He then puts the HDD back in and everything work. Guy then proceeds to pat himself on the back for being better than Sony Customer Support.... Then proceeds to once again break the ps4 by trying to download DCUO again. He is currently trying to fix it again, doing things such as turning on the PS4 while the hardrive isn't screwed in, plugging in the hard drive while the system is running, failing at holding the power button the amount of time necessary to boot in safe mode, and much much more, all while ignoring the Twitch admin's good advice. Then he finally listens to good advice, gets it working again, turns it off(to standby) and now it's broken again. He's now in hissy fit mode. Thar's your summary, have fun.

wow, what a fucking mess. I thought things were more nefarious in here.

 

[Honey Bunny]

just a basic lack of understanding at a fundamental level

 

[Atilac]

He tried putting the HDD in while the system was on? he killed it, pure and simple....

 

[FStop7]

Been watching this for the past 15 minutes and I'm bored to tears. Am I missing something? What is so funny?

It's too dragged out to be funny anymore. Whether intentional or not.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Pretty accurate.

oh lawd lol

 

[Gaz_RB]

Pretty accurate.

lol

 

[BloodMoney]

53 pages, i can't take it anymore.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I give up. Not watching him anymore. Too frustrating.

 

[BlastProcessing]

There has to be an easier way!

 

[shem935]

I hope 3 million people won't be doing this same exact thing on FRIDAY...

Out of all the units that have gone out to press and taco bell people I'm sure we would have heard of more cases. I think its 4 now unless i missed something?

 

[Venturer]

Why am I still watching this its 5am.

 

[Chucker]

OH THE TEARS ARE COMING!

 

[Evil Beaver]

Pretty accurate.

That's it. I'm going to bed now. Fucking lost it.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Well this was entertaining but I must go to bed...

2 more sleeps!

Hopefully this thread will have a wonderful wrap up for me after I get out my damn OPs meeting in the morning.

 

[E92 M3]

He should try wiggling the HDMI - according to BING that fixes the boot cycle.

 

[Netherscourge]

I bet $5 he starts crying.

 

[Mortemis]

Idk why you guys are just watching, I'm making sure I take notes just in case my ps4 breaks. So, change hdd, break hdmi, 720p fixes everything, throw ps4, am I forgetting something?

 

[Riggs]

BUT IT IS JUST A LITTLE NAIL!

 

[NervousXtian]

Who is this guying attempting to help him.. and why the fuck is he not telling him to stop pushing the input button.

 

[W1SSY]

Was he on the verge of tears?

 

[DeerMan]

He just snorted coke...LOL

 

[Wishmaster92]

HAHAHAHAH

 

[Sylverstone14]

It's too dragged out to be funny anymore. Whether intentional or not.

There were some moments, but honestly, I just pity the guy. Might as well go to bed now.

 

[WalkerWatch]

Will we ever hear 2 beeps?
Will he break his console again after fixing it?
Will Kotaku join forces with Taco Bell?
Or is he just trolling us all?

Stay tune for another brain pounding episode of H1llzone!!!!!

This next story I am going to tell you about is one involving a person.

 

[Kaizer]

Is he crying now?

 

[Papercuts]

where is the second beep

 

[Gary Whitta]

Well if this has taught me anything it's never to get my consumer electronics at Taco Bell.

 

[ThirtyPlus]

Hold the button down....forever.

 

[Chronoexe]

now he's going to cry?

 

[Twio]

Perfect.

Edit: He's going to fucking cry. Confirmed. I want to leave here with tears.

 

[NoTacos]

"step one: grab hammer, step two: smash console......." LOL

 

[Frumix]

"Try yanking"

 

[Faddy]

Hold it down for 10 seconds. Noooooo

Wait for the second beeb!¡! Don't ever tale your finger off the button, be patient and wait.

 

[Zacxx201]

Is... Is he going to cry?

 

[Animefreek]

 

[RE_Player]

"Try yanking out the power while it's on."

 

[ignata]

First thing I'm doing when I get my PS4...play Killzone? Nope. Check out the UI? Nope. Boot into safe mode to see if this guy was really doing it wrong the whole time? Yep.

 

[Booshka]

"Maybe Sony will feel bad...."

c'mon dude

 

[Touch]

Well if this has taught me anything it's never to get my consumer electronics at Taco Bell.

you get what you pay for

 

[PAULINK]

He's going to blow any second now.

 

[dmr87]

Pull the power guise

 

[Saganator]

omg... everytime he "waits for the 2nd beep," he just lets go right after the first one. JUST WAIT A FEW MORE SECONDS ugghhhhh

 

[Grinchy]

I haven't watched since earlier tonight before it was fixed (and broken again).

Why does he still only hold the button until he hears 1 beep when everyone keeps telling him 2?

 

[Kaako]

Bootleg Taco Bell quality PS4. This guy though lol.

 

[vasametropolis]

Now IF he's not full of shit, has anyone else considered his HDMI connector on the PS4 may be somewhat faulty like Kotaku's first unit? Would explain intermittent functionality.

 

[Gaz_RB]

The magic screw

believe

 

[ffdgh]

Pretty accurate.

Yup and these commercial gifs are hilarious.
