PS5 owners: could your next-gen console be about to die at any second?

Probably not, but crashes, corruptions, and system breaking bugs are leaving some PS5 buyers feeling ‘bummed out’

Are there really many problems with the PS5 or the article writer is exaggerating? any PS5 owners here that had any problems with the console?

Another article, steps to follow to avoid PS5 issues

-do not use LAN

[Ar¢tos]

I'm feeling some dreadful thread déjà vu...

 

[NEbeast]

Arent you the guy who posted that bait thread about your friends insight into RDNA2?

 

[NoviDon]

Thats why I always wait till the following summer/fall to get a next gen console so I know I'm getting one with the production errors ironed out.

 

[waquzy]

Only a small % of people have been having issues, I wouldn't worry about it

[TintoConCasera]

That thread title almost scares me OP... And I don't even own a PS5.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Any hardware can die at any second. That's why people make backups.

Not him.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Bullshit

[FastOrc]

-do not use your PS5

 

[AgentP]

Another one of these threads. Have any data or just more social media echo chamber FUD by xbots? Any article that points to message boards or says "as numerous users are reporting" is based on hersey and anecdotes. There are 1m+ PS5 out there, so scouring Twitter for some complaints is not scientific.

-do not use USB
-do not use LAN
-do not use external hard drive
-do not use rest mode
-do not use the ethernet
-do not use a different HDMI
-do not use functions on your TV

I do all of those.

Eh, I'd say one system is definitely having a pronounced amount more issues than another, and to a point where several people in review and game journalism are having their consoles brick or experience serious problems, and that's not exactly a large group of people. While overall it may be a small percent, it's a small percent on a millions scale.

There's reason to be concerned.

[FunkMiller]

Of course, the thing people like the OP forget is that for a lot of reports to have come in about console failures, it must mean they have sold a metric shit ton of Ps5s...

 

[Kenneth Haight]

How many threads do we need for this? I’ll just make another now so we fill the entire first page.

do you know what could “die at any moment?” Literally any other consumer electronics device. They all have an inevitable death. Someone please tag this with “cringe” and “drama”

 

[Eternal21]

Is this a coping strategy for those who failed to score a PS5 pre-order?

I’m not happy until you’re not happy.

Pretty sure half of this list has already been disproven. Major issue is data transfer and playing games from HDD iirc.

 

[timonlionbladerunner]

Mine has been fine on rest mode. Reports are most likely overblown.

 

[OrtizTwelve]

Seems to be affecting a decent size of users but we won’t know for a while.

Just search YouTube.

Imagine posting brain dead clickbait from a disreputable website that tries to sensationalize the fact that consoles have a failure rate like any electronics.

 

[Bartski]

Do not use electricity

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

MY PS5 JUST STOOD UP CALLED ME A SLUR BEFORE EXPLODING MY DICK OFF

 

[Hendrick's]

No limits indeed.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

- do not use PS5. lol.

 

[Oppoi]

Buying a PS5 is like tossing a coin to save your loved ones. Does it scare you?

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Well one platform is having more issues and failures than another, so it's not "like any electronics".

It's not an even swath, something is either more or less.

 

[BlackM1st]

PS5 owners, don't go outside. You can die. Stay safe, stay in your bed!

 

[Oppoi]

MY PS5 JUST STOOD UP CALLED ME A SLUR BEFORE EXPLODING MY DICK OFF

Why was your dick touching your console?

 

[devilNprada]

Mine froze loading Bugsnax in the begining, I had to unplug..
Has been perfectly fine since.

 

[JimiNutz]

Sounds thrilling!
