I’m sorry. This sucks man.

Your options are to either pay Sony for the repair or get another PS5. Sell some games to eat into the cost if you’re strapped for cash. You might want to wait for the PS5Pro, but it’s probably still 4-5 months for launching.

Sorry again man. Life isn’t fair.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Have you tried beating the shit out of Sony's hardware division Q&A staff?

 

[T4keD0wN]

 

[DeVeAn]

Just get a Dreamcast, Cheap and has better games anyway. SE-GA!!!

 

[Ge Os]

Edit: I tried to make an AI picture for you to feel better

The second right arm coming from the left creeps me out so much.

 

[OppaiNinja]

Sell it for parts and get a PC. It might be more expensive but it's a better investment in the long run.
Also, unlike consoles, when a part in your PC goes bad, you don't throw the whole thing out; you just replace the defective part.

 

[Randall365]

can it boot in safe mode?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Instant buy a new one if not under warranty like obviously these cats are doing.

 

[keefged4]

The master race beckons. Join us.

 

[Quasicat]

If you can wait, I would save up and see what deals or bundles are coming out around Black Friday. Last year there was the Spider-Man 2 bundle and places were selling it for $400. It’s worth a shot.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

get a girlfriend and have sex

Best advice. And after you are done, get a pc. Take the loss of money spend in the Sony ecosystem and stop repeating the mistake.

 

[lachesis]

Get a new machine if you are invested in PS eco system. I mean you paid and signed up for it. Maybe sell yours on ebay for parts and pieces - but make sure if you can wipe your personal data?

 

[Holammer]

Give the thing a viking burial and get a PC.
Check the warranty first.

 

[Unrivaledx88]

Get an Xbox.

That’s racist don’t say that

 

[BennyBlanco]

Get a PC especially if you’re deep into PoE.

 

[Investor9872]

If you miss the modding that much, then there is only 1 clear choice here for you, so go for it!

 

[reinking]

I would say wait it out if you can. Two new console announcements are on the Horizon. Definitely do not give up your investment in PSVR2 until you know for sure what your next move is. It can be used with PC too.

 

[Zathalus]

May as well wait for the Pro. Or else a PC if you have the budget for it.

 

[damiank]

Get an Xbox.

And then

Now you cry

 

[simpatico]

PC without a doubt. Might as well start building a collection you'll always be able to play. Not to mention dropping all the monthly fees. You won't regret it.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

buy another one - let's sell more consoles

 

[Bernardougf]

+- Two months aways from the ps5 pro announcement.. just wait

 

[El Muerto]

Are you sure your tv doesnt need an update? Iykyk.

Just get a PC, all the exclusives are making their way there. And your PSVR2 will work there too.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Get youre consoles at costco. If it fucks up, you can return it as gaming systems arent part of the limited 90 day computers/TVs/electronics policy.

 

[SiahWester]

Get a PC or Steam Deck

 

[Neff]

Tell us what's actually wrong with it

You can probably fix it yourself

 

[ReBurn]

If I had a library that I care about I'd pay for the repair. You'll get more than 250 out of the replacement if you sell after repair.

 

[Kerotan]

If you're going to get another playstation the ps5 pro will be announced in the next 2 months. Sorry for your loss!

 

[Highway Star]

does everyone who posts a complaint thread have terrible grammar? or am i just imagining it

When English isn't your first language, you try your best.

 

[Closer]

Bury it with its money.

 

[Vyse]

Sorry friend.

 

[tmlDan]

When English isn't your first language, you try your best.

I would say that's correct but the persons profile says they're from NY, even if they're an immigrant like my family is, i expect better

 

[iHaunter]

How often did you vacuum it? I vacuum dust out of mine every 6 months.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Wouldn't be wise to make a decision at this point. Let your mind settle.

 

[Neolombax]

Have you tried asking if there's any local 3rd party repairs? I tried those services once when my PS3 died, lasted a few months before it died again. But its a cheaper option than sending it to Sony. Also it would give you time for possible PS5 Pro announcements. That is if you really needed to game.

 

[iamvin22]

First thread I think, at least first serious one... I tend to do bad socially even in online set up so I apologize if I have already committed any gaffes. Very high too in case that matters/against the rules.

My beloved launched PS5 died... dropped like 800 for it at launch because of cam and shitty bluetooth headset that broke real fast. Also got PSVR2(might give away to any carer since I don't want to haggle if I sell)

Sony asking for like 250; no matter what its been for me before; right this second all it is is a machine that runs Efootball better than the Mac can though wine... So not woth the replacement out of warranty cost....

My library is massive(like every VR game bough and ps plus free games were already obsolete... but I only worry about the billions I have in POE MTX and POE 2... I need new MTX anyway and POE economy on PS5 is mental suicide anyway; might resurect on mac If it runs

Truth is pain so hard lost my head, also lost switch this week... I am scared... should I spent the repair money on a steam deck or other PC option? I miss modding so much.

Sorry for your loss. Any idea what happened?


Ill take that psvr2 off your hands please.

 

[lh032]

A sign from jimbo, prepare your wallet for the king console ps5 pro.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Sell the PSVR2 and build a PC or go Steam Deck. There’s been some great hardware deals as of late.

 

[Skifi28]

Have you tried asking if there's any local 3rd party repairs?

This, it could be something simple and cheap to fix.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think I would have it repaired or buy a new one.

 

[poppabk]

This is all wrong.
First you get the money, then you get the PC, then you get the women waifus.

 

[Hrk69]

PC.

Don't let Sony screw you over again. Now is the time to buy the Series S. The 1 TB Series S can be had for a low price of $349.

Microwave

 

[eNT1TY]

Discard responsibly, it is a pretty large piece of e-waste

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Id say keep that PSVR2. Because Im pretty sure even when the PS6 comes out, who knows when PSVR3 will come and you already have a healthy library. Just keep it in the box and wait it out. The Pro is pretty much vaporware but at the same time if it does come out, that means the price of the OG PS5 is going to tank so hard you could get a used one off marketplace for like $250 if you want to get back into it next year. I just sold my PS5 and had to deal with a lil loss because of the PS5 slim, which I personally think looks like shit and cheap but a casual dont care. So if the Pro really does happen, I knew the value would sink even lower and Im one of the guys that bought the PS5 at a premium because it was unavailable for so long.

 

[Edmund]

Get a second hand one.

 

[yurinka]

It sucks. I'd repair it -maybe there's a place in your city or nearby who may repair it for a cheaper price- or get a 2nd hand one if you can't wait for the PS5 Pro.
