The Sony PlayStation®4 Thread: IT HAS BEGUN

Oh, it’s a blue light of death now? Thought it was white.

System Failures: Taste the Rainbow.

Not that you’re asking a genuine question, but regardless: they are telling you that because, if you had to choose between buying a PS4 or a gaming PC that can run games like Warframe and Blacklight at the equivalent settings, the PS4 is the economically-intelligent choice. But you know this already.

Referring to people who only game on consoles? You know, the masses that don’t give a rat’s ass about PC? :coffee:

oh im loving this thread

I did the Banderas sitting at my laptop went my PS4 status at amazon finally switched to shipped.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday while I was trying to get on the store via my PS4, yet at the same time I was downloading something just fine on my Vita.

blue light shows that the system is booting and waiting for the TV response. messed around with this a little last night.

sounds like the hdmi jack problem or people using incorrect hdmi cables… people are intentionally not using the ps4 cable to avoid problem 1, but cables they are using aren’t working for whatever reason.

I wonder…if someone just ran in from the side and stuck out a leg or did a diving catch to soften the fall or even snag the ps4 before it hit the ground, then hauled ass with it, is that considered theft, even though you were committed to destroying the system?

just swapped in a new ssd. Was as easy as the video showed it, just a few minutes to do.

Alright so I was thinking about this “hold off until it gets more games and through its first cycle” talk and I was wondering. How long until this talk goes for games as well? Most games these days are released with 85% of the content developers plan to release. And released with more game breaking bugs and glitches as technology advances.

I’m sure most people are doing that already. Once you get a nice stable of games to keep you busy, it’s easy to hold off on titles day-one. And of course the biggest incentive to wait is that lately games are seeing sales/price-drops in record time.

The only game thats got me compelled to buy next gen at this point is Xrd and honestly by then I’m sure the price will be lower the hardware will be better and other games will be announced that will have my interest. Killzone is awesome and it would convince me to buy a console 10x before qte of rome, really pretty driving game 5, and combo breakers, counter breakers 3 would get me to buy a console, I just dont play shooters like that though.

Most of these PS4’s aren’t even broken…the user didn’t even set up the console correctly. :rofl:

If that’s so, it still Sony’s fault for not designing it with the typical retarded consumer in mind.

Sony should have sent people out to each home to set up the console. If we wanted to do all this trouble shooting, we would just use PCs for gaming! WTF SONY!?!

There’s a reason other than “save the trees” as to why manuals aren’t made anymore, and that’s because people don’t read them.

Because when you’re about to drop $400+ on something, you want that shit to work because returns can be a hassle if that shit doesn’t work. First batches tend to have problems, why other than saying you got it first, it’s best to wait for later shipments when people have reported hardware defects that can be addressed and fixed for later batches.

While games will have bugs due to pressure/demands on developers to hurry the fuck up so the investors can get a faster return on their investments. Then the devs can take some time to make patches for said bugs. It’s fucked up, but, time is money and our wallets just ran out of lube.

I want a PS4, and I see plenty of good games, but that failure rate for early models is EXACTLY why I don’t feel as bad having to wait. With Nessa 100% on that, I want my PS4 to be the first AND last I have to buy.

Lets be real though. There’s a very slim chance everyone that has a PS4 now and plans to have a PS4 for its lifecycle won’t have that console last.
