"Like a one man human centipede"

Between this and Jack Keane 2 bringing the GOG sale to a grinding halt, I've not experienced a night of humor like this in a long, long time.
 
I'm pretty sure the hard drive is a requirement. Why isn't he putting it in?

Also, it seems like while the PS4 does crash, what this guy is doing is trying to fix it while being impatient as hell. That's really not a good idea.

Why the fuck did he take out his hard disk while the system is still on? That shit just corrupts your HD, like it does on every computer ever.
 
Can someone kindly summarise for me what has been going on. Came late to the party.


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.


There's more but I don't feel like updating this post, just copy pasting.

guy got ps4, ps4 crashes during download of a game, ps4 stops working.
guy turns on and off a million times, unseats and reseats harddrive, ps4 works again.

guy does the EXACT SAME THING, and it dies again.

now we're waiting for two beeps.
 
OK so he's trying both HDMI ports now, the PS4 is just fucked is all.

Yep. Somewhere between getting it to work without formatting, then going back for the DCUO download, then restarting without Safe Mode again, now messing with the HDD and power cords over and over has screwed the console.

It's over guys.
 
i think if he would have formatted from the begining everything would have been fine. Removing the hdd while the ps4 was on bricked his ps4.
