Support NeoGAF

[Gintoki313]

So we live streaming customer support now? Man this generation is gonna be way different. Too much attention hogging shit going on.

To be fair, the guy thinks everyone is their to see him play the PS4. I don't think he found out that most people are watching because there curious on what's happening to his system.

You are right though, I don't know why he's on customer support on stream. He should be doing that off stream, not to mention he's being ignorant to the customer support.

 

[The Mana Legend]

His story and your story, neither are gospel.

PS3 and PS2 failures were pretty big deals. Not RROD levels of big deals, but YLOD and disc-read failures sucked pretty badly.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Guy on tech support said he hasn't had any calls with issues.

 

[Venturer]

Tech support lied and said they'd had no other calls like this today.

 

[NotSelf]

Surreal.

 

[Barristan Selmy]

So I don't feel like reading through 29 pages. How many of these reports have there been? Are they all units from that Taco Bell contest? Did they take out parts of the PS4 and replace them with taco meat?

I believe we're up to six, but I just got in myself.

 

[Violater]

The same sword of internet word of mouth that rose Sony up in Feb is bringing them down.
Fucking ridiculous.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Thats true?? If it is... now Im worried.

 

[Professor Lich]

PS3 and PS2 failures were pretty big deals. Not RROD levels of big deals, but YLOD and disc-read failures sucked pretty badly.

Curious, what were the PS3 issues?

 

[Nokagi]

Yeah okay... well that was fun for about 5mins. Tuning out now these guys are super annoying.

 

[Bunta]

So it's just one ps4 that has had problems, correct? Or are there more?

Some other people have had issues.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

My god this guy is so dumb and this stream is now an echoing mess.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

The same sword of internet word of mouth that rose Sony up in Feb is bringing them down.
Fucking ridiculous.

So much hyperbole.

 

[kamicowzi]

Hey, I have a dumb ass question....what file format do I need to use for my usb stick? I think it was FAT on the PS3...no clue about PS4.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Jesus christ the echoing.

 

[-PXG-]

Dat echo. This is what acid must feel like.

 

[Ran Ran]

Tech support lied and said they'd had no other calls like this today.

You realize there is more than one person in tech right?

 

[N.Domixis]

The same sword of internet word of mouth that rose Sony up in Feb is bringing them down.
Fucking ridiculous.

same thing will happen to xbox, a couple will fail and will be even worse, beause of their history with rrod, I would not get excited if i were you.

 

[haZethew0rld]

So this guy tried to update it, plugged it off from the back before it finished, and now it's bricked? not surprised.

 

[Dragon]

Looks like he has the same problem as Kotaku. Busted HDMI port.

 

[TheJLC]

Just because you know someone's name doesn't exactly mean you can find them on facebook/find their info on facebook. I'm a teacher and the only way you could connect me to my internet activity is to go from my alias (e.g. you could easily find out who I am), but my students could not because they only know my real name (shared by millions of people) but not my MIDDLE name (which helps narrow it down SOME); however, as I said...if you know my internet persona you can find my real name but not much else about me (outside of name/location). Not that I'm challenging anyone, granted I pretty much assume I'm not anonymous.

Edit: Also I'm not searchable on Facebook.

Oh I know.

But what I mean is that not everyone wants to be anonymous. You might tie your real name with alias and vice versa. Some people don't mind people knowing they are xXSnipahtr1cksh0ttaXx online and John Doe in real life that lives in X location.

 

[Storm360]

The god damn Skype call is painful to listen to,

 

[GrizzleBoy]

What stream are you guys watching?

 

[The Mana Legend]

Curious, what were the PS3 issues?

Yellow Light of Death on the fat PS3's. It happened to mine, for example.

 

[Gorillaz]

He's gotta be trolling for viewers, he's ignoring the tech support guy, not following basic instructions and being snarky which solves nothing.

Wondering this as well

 

[Sweep14]

Tech support lied and said they'd had no other calls like this today.

And how do you know that the support platform he's dealing with is the same the OP went with...?

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I'm not doing the early adopter route anymore. The possiblility of spending all that money si itll crap out in a couple of months is the readon why.

Yea, I feel you. But it's under warranty so all it'll amount to is an inconvenience if it craps out and I consider the odds of another RROD fiasco pretty low.

 

[Guymelef]

At this point, US Gaf will be our testers for EU Gaf.

 

[Cmerrill]

Some other people have had issues.

Hmm I hope this isn't wide spread or a firmware update issue..

I have 4 days off for my ps4, I would cry if it broke.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Tech support lied and said they'd had no other calls like this today.

More than likely he just doesn't know and said no. The last thing you want any of your customers to think is that your new system is having issues.

 

[Goodacre0081]

you can hear the frustration in his voice

 

[Loudninja]

The same sword of internet word of mouth that rose Sony up in Feb is bringing them down.
Fucking ridiculous.

Wow talk about vast amounts of hyperbole.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Ugh, this stream is terrible to watch.

And this guy isn't doing anything right.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yes, you need to get one of those $100 hdmi monster cables in order to get the ps4 working properly

I buy all my cables from monoprice, cheap doesn't mean inexpensive.

 

[Prophane33]

Oh I know.

But what I mean is that not everyone wants to be anonymous. You might tie your real name with alias and vice versa. Some people don't mind people knowing they are xXSnipahtr1cksh0ttaXx online and John Doe in real life that lives in X location.

Ah, got it.

 

[xxracerxx]

Dat echo. This is what acid must feel like.

Whip-its.

 

[BloodMoney]

The same sword of internet word of mouth that rose Sony up in Feb is bringing them down.
Fucking ridiculous.

This will fade to nothingness once 99.9% of those who pre-ordered, get their consoles on Friday, and they work without issue.

 

[SilentRacoon]

My god this guy is so dumb and this stream is now an echoing mess.

It boggles my mind that he was even capable of setting up a live stream.

 

[doby]

This is so frustrating to watch. There would be so many combinations of things I would be trying before calling tech support. Its obviously not the TV if the PS4 shut off on its own in the first place.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Failstation 4! That was a good one!

These guys better be drunk.....

 

[WordsintheWater]

Am I mistaken, but whenever he holds down the button there's an instant beep and then a second beep, that's when he should let go, but he keeps holding it and it shuts off.

 

[Violater]

same thing will happen to xbox, a couple will fail and will be even worse, beause of their history with rrod, I would not get excited if i were you.

Dude this is not excitement, its utter fucking nervousness and fear.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Bad time I canceled my Amazon.UK preo-order to buy one at my country. I would be lot more calm if I could cancel my pre-order with no headaches later on.

Serious shit this one!

 

[Iacobellis]

I hope my PS4 does not end my good streak on launch hardware. The last system I can remember faulting very early on was my dad's PS2 from late 2000. Pretty sure it had DREs a few months in. My brother's launch Wii still works, as well as his launch Wii U. Our near-launch 360 lasted for a couple years before it had the RRoD. The console had occasional freezing errors, though. My launch 60GB PS3 is still kicking it, despite the fans ramping up to insanely loud levels every time we use it.

 

[NotSelf]

What stream are you guys watching?

http://www.twitch.tv/hi11zones

 

[Ghazi]

DID HE JUST SAY HIS ADDRESS?

 

[sflufan]

NO, NOT YOUR ADDRESS!

 

[Professor Lich]

Yellow Light of Death on the fat PS3's. It happened to mine, for example.

Will look it up, thanks.

I just have a feeling that apparently we won the lottery and the perfect person had that 1% PS4 hardware issue and also happened to have a Twitch account.

 

[MThanded]

So this guy tried to update it, plugged it off from the back before it finished, and now it's bricked? not surprised.

Thats not what happened at all. Please stop.

He updated succesfully.

Was downloading DCU and then the console just shit the bed.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Holy fuck this guy is giving out his address live on stream.....

Sounds like Sony is sending a coffin for his unit.
