The PS5 has not officially launched yet, and already, we have our first casualty.
As with all console launches, some units are bound to be faulty. Even though it’s very early days for PS5, we sadly already have our first dead unit.

The only PS5 console game reviewer @JeremyPenter has no longer works. Penter, better known as ACG on YouTube, revealed on Twitter that the unit no longer powers on.

The YouTuber has seemingly been having issues with the console constantly re-building the database, particularly as he used external drives to store and run some games while testing it. This later escalated to bootup and network errors, and the PS5 console currently does not turn on.

Penter said he’s been going back and forth with Sony’s support to try and fix the problem, before things completely went south.

ACG's review PS5 crapped out already

Far too early to draw any conclusions, but I said it before: This thing is overengineered and has many possible points of failure. Let's see how good Sonys design is.

Based on your post history, don't worry, since you're not getting one.

ACG's review PS5 crapped out already

I hope this is just a fluky unit and this isn't going to become "a thing" After the RROD with the 360 and the YLOD with the PS3 I'm hoping that the days of common hardware failure are long behind us. Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else? Hopefully this is an anomaly.
