PS4 having trouble ejecting discs

GameZone writes, " Sony has acknowledged various reports of users having trouble ejecting discs from their PlayStation 4."

[Neonridr]

"What title were you trying to eject?"

Are we saying that the game discs for PS4 games aren't all the same size (physically)? That would seem a little odd.

[ZBlacktt]

The disc thickness is not always the same. If you own disc games. Sometimes you'll feel ones a little more stiff.

[MajorJackHoff]

This sucks eggs, but problems are to be expected.

Like I said before, I'm just waiting for awhile to get my console. I'm excited as hell to play, but not excited enough to deal with problems that MAY occur. Next year I'll hold that beautiful little DS4 in my slimy little hands :')

[thrust]

So many problems and bad reports :(

[ZBlacktt]

Dunno.... I'm sitting over put MANY hours into AC4 since I picked up my console midnight release. Not a single issue gaming 10+ hours a day.

[Brazz]

@ thrust > sony reported that only 0.4% of Ps4 are having problems.... ok, let's just say for a minute that this number is a lie, and that Ps4 have 10x more failure rate...
you see, 4% of 1.000.000. is 40.000. Now answer ... 40,000 (or 4000 if the " 0.4 % failure " is true ) is a good number of people dissatisfied , correct? Add this to the number of Xbox fanboys talking bad about ps4 and " this shit done " ... " PS4 BLOD " / " PS4 Fail" / " PS4 overheat " .... this is bullshit , I mean , of course in the end the ps4 may have problems , but assume that these are serious problems with less than 1 month of release ? This is ridiculous ...
Wait and see how things will develop, it is too early to condemn any of the consoles . If the ps4 really have problems , it's going to be shit for Sony , and yes the consumer should have a nice F!@#! You on sony ... The same is true for microsoft , who are interested in the X- 1 should give a chance to the product , and if the X- 1 prove " troublesome " one F@#$@# must also be sent to microsoft !

for now one should not condemn anyone , it is too early and there are no consistent numbers ... but that's just for now , because if any of the two (X - 1 / PS4 ) have a high failure rate all gamers should demand a quality product! I do not care what damage is caused to sony or microsoft, all I want is a good product ...

[SolidStoner]

sadly.. I will wait and see.. I dont want to buy anything with some problems.. I better wait while they deal with all of these issues and only then I will buy it..

[BX81]

@zblacktt 10 plus hrs a day? For the love of god please go outside for a while.

[ZBlacktt]

BX, lol.... I retired at 36. I'mm 44 now... I do bodybuilding as a very long time hobby. Gaming is just another very long time hobby.

[BX81]

You better not be lying. I just wanna make sure ur getting in your cardio. Retired at 36? That's cool I guess, I retired at 12. No biggie it's not a competition....lol.

[VENOMACR1227]

@Brazz

Wasn't the .4% based off the Taco Bell giveaway consoles? I'm not sure the actual percentage has come out for the total number of PS4's sold. I imagine it's going to be much higher than .4%.

[djnforce9]

@ZBlacktt:

So far so good for me as well (I have Knack but not playing it NEARLY as much as you are with AC4). I am just worried that one day it's going to stop working all of a sudden.

[Derekvinyard13]

My friend has this problem and was on the phone with sony, they tried to troubleshoot it but it just won't release the disc. He's waiting for his coffin. If this happens it needs to be returned. His was working on and off. Don't risk it. Manufacture issue

[ShowGun901]

Funny how people start having a problem with their ps4s on this site AFTER an article describes in detail the problem for the first time... Not necessarily calling you a shill, but at least a rampant fan boy... Ps4 sitting at about 8 hrs use a day on 3 different games with no problems whatsoever... I don't make the news though

[WeedyOne]

I can add one more problem to the list.

My PS4 eject button does not work AT ALL. I didn't realize this for the 1st few days because I only had Killzone and had no need to remove it. That was until I beat the game and bought Need for Speed and realized the eject button doesnt work. The system can eject games through the menu just fine (hold PS button then select "eject disk") its just the physical button on the console that isn't working.

Kinda sucks but at least its not bricked. I can play games till Gamestop restocks on PS4's then trade it in easy with the 90 day warranty they provide.

[Ranma1]

I think these cases are over blown to be hoenst

[PraxxtorCruel]

Overblown...until it happens to you.

[harrisk954]

@Praxxtor Cruel..

Yes, "overblown...until it happens to you." But, overblown, nonetheless. It sucks for those affected by defective consoles (no matter what brand), but honestly with over a million PS4s in the wild, there is still a small number of reported failures.

[Reverent]

Given the small amount of problems versus the sheer amount of PS4's out there, at the risk of sounding a bit cruel, I think it's a pretty great start. This is the PS4's first week of life and hardly anyone's having issues.

I feel for those that are, but the overall scheme of things seems fairly positive. The responsible thing for people with these issues to do, is to sort it with Sony's customer support. Not rant about it on forums, etc.

Those are the people that are going to actually be taken care of.

[VENOMACR1227]

I just hate when people say "if it's broke just go get another. It's under warranty." Well no, you can't just run to Target and pick one up like you can a PS3. You have to mail it in and wait weeks. Who want's to do that? If a system breaks and it's your, it's a big deal. You paid $400 and it's broken already, I'd be pissed too. And the fact you can't just grab one sucks too.

[evilbart]

Title needs to be changed 'A very small number of ps4's are having trouble ejecting discs'

[Gr1mmyshadows]

doesnt matter if its small or not, a problem is a problem and if it happened top me i would be going crazy.

wait till this weekend and if we hear problems with the XB1 watch how sony fanboys are gonna rage and troll all over those articles even if it is a small problem

[Droidbro]

Why? Sony has acknowledged "various" and even had to come up with and publish a solution for this problem. Other than blind fanboyism, how have you come to the conclusion, as a matter of fact, that this is a "very small number"?

Edit: @famoussasjohn Right, .4% is the failure rate; as in, the console is completely non-functioning. Also, is this the same .4% number that came out before launch and before this issue was even known about?

[famoussasjohn]

Droidanomix - because Sony said it was a .4% failure rate that only Sony fanboys seem to believe.

[Visiblemarc]

YES.

This is the first console launch cycle with the CNN brand of news coverage. It's too much. Mass produced electronics have defects in small percentages... This isn't news.

Just because you are or know someone affected does not mean the problem is widespread. That is self-centered thinking.

[Mystogan]

The rate of failures is much higher than Sony likes to admit. We're hearing lots of bad reports on the internet. Now they changed their statement saying that its now "less than 1%". I believe its closer to 20%. I hear more people having trouble than people having a good experience so far on reddit.

[Caffo01]

@mystogan
LOL 20% ?? that's more than 200k ppl.. don't be an idiot.
And of course people who goes on forum commenting on problems are looking for that on google or various forum searches, it's normal, if it happens to you, you start looking for a solution or other ppl with that problem, while the others don't bother and continue playing. Are you so surprised that no one is praising the PS4 on forums?? the console has been out for 4 days, everyone who can is playing it like crazy.

[Omegasyde]

@TRD4L1fe

My PS3-slim had this same issue. Should I create an article on it?

MY Ps4 shipped with a bad HDMI cord should I create an article on it?

MY Iphone 4 factory OS on the phone would random shut the phone off. Volume button didn't work.Should I create an article on it?

Point is stuff like this is expected. NOW if there was reports of the PS4 overheating, then that's an issue. The console has been out 4 days.

People are jumping the GUN. I will also state that MS is going to have similar issue, but we shouldn't throw pitchforks at them either unless there is a significant amount of bad consoles.

I love that on the internet people over exaggerate about the stupidest s#!t.

"OW I stubbed my toe on a curb. Screw (insert shoe company) for not protecting me feet!"

[BattleTorn]

@Omegasyde

Yes, receiving fault consumer product is akin to stubbing ones toe. /s O.o ?

We should report on it. That's what we do, we report things that happen. All those things you mentioned, have had article done on them.

Sorry if just because Sony is in the headline, you want people to refrain from hypothesizing

[frostypants]

"doesnt matter if its small or not, a problem is a problem and if it happened top me i would be going crazy."

No. That's like saying if one car catches on fire, then the story should be "BMW's Having Trouble Not Catching on Fire". The likelihood of the problem is critically important when writing a story on the issue, and much more so with the headline.

[KYU2130]

@Mystogan, you are really gonna throw the percentage up that high?? do your research. many Claims of faulty consoles have been duplicated by customers to bolster defective numbers as well as people claiming defective consoles that they actually never purchased one.

if i report on 4 different sites that i have a a defective console, sees that mean i have 4 defective consoles. That is what is happening. People are facing real issue with their consoles but they are abusing the social media aspect of the internet to vent their frustrations not realizing how it can make things worse in the long run.

Sont has stated that at present the number of defective consoles is a bit over 1% and they are taking all defective consoles and replacing them. They are not waiting to see high numbers before trying to fix the situation.

Also do you think the majority of gamers with perfectly functioning consoles will be online posting.. I highly doubt it, most will be to busy playing.

As for all the crap about waiting till XB1 releases and see how sony fanboys act when the competition has a problem, all i can say is are you really so desperate for attention.

to be clear i am in no way saying their is or isn't a problem. What i am saying is that when you post your problem online, do so responsibly. Spreading the word about an issue is good, just remember that your claims can be twisted.

[andibandit]

@Omegasyde

Who's throwing pitchforks, i dont see anyone saying "sony needs to die", people are just voicing their concerns and experiences, too me it seems like the usual stuff.

[PSjesus]

HOT NEWS:over 1 M PS4 sold one pathetic attention W*** had trouble ejecting his disk,Doooooooom

[Palaven]

One person? If you go to http://community.us.playsta... I haven't even looked past the first page of the thread and 4 people are having the issue and their is 20 pages.

[Caffo01]

yeah, just because ppl with that problem search those words on google and find that post, it doens't mean it's widespread.

[DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO]

damnit to fkn hell, i just tried ejecting my only disc i bought thats been in my ps4 since launch and guess what fkn happened? it ejected :) then i put it back in my working console. nice try doom and gloom basatards

[Drewbie915]

@DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO

I wasn't so lucky. My first disc went in, started spinning and clicking sound was heard and finally a loud grinding/popping sound, I went to eject and it only pushed out about a inch of the disc so I had to pull the rest.

Drive appears to be slanted now, as if it unmounted itself on one side.

[DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO]

@drew

im really sorry to hear that man. i was just being an ass to the xbots. i must admit i had a lil anxiety checkin out and setting up launch console friday. its a gamble that ive lost before trust me. atleast youll keep getting a new ps4 till one of them works perfect. sorry you gotta wait dawg.

[evilbart]

They have issued a fix to the ten people who are affected now calm down xbots

https://support.us.playstat...

[testerg35]

Is that a fix or just how to remove the current stuck disc?

[JeffGUNZ]

hahahahah that is not a "fix", that just gets the game out of the console. That in no way fixes the underlying issue. So, everytime you want to eject a disc you have to dissemble a portion of the console? Yeah, great. Those select consoles will be sent back and fixed/replaced and all that does is remove the game so they can send it back.

[BX81]

Yes this is a fix to the current disc stuck but not a fix to the hardware failing to eject. To be honest things like this are a big deal. I'm not giving Sony my money till less of these issues happen, same goes for MS. Last years failure rate was unacceptable, so they have to know us gamers are weary of launch problems. Either way for those with this problem, I hope it was just a disc issue not the console.

[3-4-5]

I want a PS4.....but..

I'm pretty sure PS2 didn't have this many issues..

[mabreu]

PS2 had many problems. One issue was so bad that Sony got sued because of it:

http://www.gamasutra.com/ph...

This happens to all electronic equipment. Back in 2008, my Samsung 32in LCD TV did not work on the first day. It cost $700 bucks but I got it replaced the next week. It sucks but it happens. What Sony should do is have back up PS4's to help ease these cases. At least 10,000 units should be reserved for replacements in my opinion.

[BOLO]

Welp...Compared to the 360's issues for near 2 years of release. We'll do reverse mathematics. .4% > 54%... http://www.ign.com/articles...

[DeadlyFire]

My PS2 had disc reading problems. Got a 2nd one later it worked fine, but then later had the same problem. I discovered an easy way to open up the PS2 and fix it. As dust collecting by the laser is all that stopped it from working. It is small not even as much that is coated on the bottom of a mouse. So yeah issues do exist, but even so its a small thing most of the time.

Sony will likely fix any issue you have with your console.

[MikeGdaGod]

i would like to report...while switching between Madden, 2K14, and Killzone....i've had no problems at all....thank you for your time

[Ps4Console]

I'am feeling sorry for all the people who have bought Ps4's & kept them for Christmas Day imaging you waking up Christmas Day getting a Ps4 & it don't work how would you feel .

[ShowGun901]

Bad enough to bitch online to everyone who'll listen? Eh...

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

I know i'll get disagreed with but i had this problem yesterday when trying to eject ac4 to play bf4.

I had to press the eject button like ten times for it to come out.At 1st i thought it was on my end, because i had the lights inmy room of and im not used to the placement of it since its so small and thin (right under the disc slot) so i cut the light on to find out the disc bay was having a hard time spitting it out.

And for thoese who will inevitably disagree with me f@#k off if its a problem it needs 2b addressed.

[GuyThatPlaysGames]

Maybe it's just the 1% of people having problems just making it sound like all the systems are having this problem. I play my PS4 about 6-8 hours a day and it stays on about 18 hours a day. It has been working fine with no overheating, no ejecting issues, or bricking issues. The system is super-quiet.

[brbobcat]

Does taking apart the PS4 to manually remove the disc void warranty?

[Nitrowolf2]

yes

[Derekvinyard13]

Yes like nitro said, tried it with my ps3, was a nightmare

[MrDead]

There is a manual disc release under the glossy section of the cover, removing this doesn't affect the warranty. You also remove this part of the cover if you wish to change the HDD.

[DeadlyFire]

hmm.. If there is a manual eject then what is the problem? if it still plays games. I see no issue. :)

[Neonridr]

@DeadlyFire - so basically the regular eject button doesn't work but as long as there is a manual eject button underneath the casing on top it's ok? You are going to remove the casing everytime you need to eject your disc? Or are you just going to play your system with the top casing off now to save time regardless if it looks ugly as a result?

Should elevators not working properly be ok because they have backup breaks in case the cable breaks?

Just because there is a fail safe, doesn't make it ok that it's not operating as it should.

[Murad]

If you take anything apart within consoles, even the sticker on the back of the Ps3 or 4 will automatically void the warranty. it's stupid, but this is the same for some heatsinks on PC builds as well.

[heliumhead2030]

Lol mods and trolls, do what you can to get this article taken down!

[Ranma1]

First am assuming your a fanboy, but forgive me if am wrong.

Was the Xbox one made by your dad, I mean is that why you always defend it? Do you even have a Xbox one, or you heard how good it was from the friends of your friend of his friends little sister?

Forgive me if i caused any offense. But the more consoles you have the happier you'll be

[heliumhead2030]

Definitely a fan, definitely not a fanboy.

I'll gladly be getting my ps4 fix as well

Don't be mad because u revel in the misinformation and lies spewed from these articles and message boards. facts > opinions > trolls like you

[Software_Lover]

I think you missed the point totally

[lifeisgamesok]

Oh no

[neocores]

Wow really this is the first lol

[Ghosts]

not mine

[black0o]

my ps3 does that sometimes -i still own the fat version-

[Xsilver]

My fatPS3 does the same thing too sometimes i literally tap it and the disc comes out no biggie.

[TBONEJF]

Here's a tip don't rush out buying the console first launch.

[GDDR6_2014]

Just one of the many issues people are having

http://community.us.playsta...

[Zack_attack]

Crowbars are relatively inexpensive...

[CapsLocke]

Greatness in action.

[user7402931]

i feel sorry for the 14 people experiencing this

[breakpad]

Sony made a mistake to not produce 1 st gen PS4s in Japan but choose China for mass production ...cheap meat is for the dogs

[LordMaim]

Microsoft made the same mistake then, because both were made by FoxConn.

[brettyd]

This happened to me a few times, pressing the eject button didn't release the disc. Not really a big deal just have to keep pressing or eject it using the controller.

[esemce]

China does have a massive quality control issue with most of the goods they produce not just Sony's.

Sad but its the price we pay for their cheap labour.

[BX81]

Agreed. That's why I don't buy into all this crap about you can't expect every console to work. BS. There was a point in time when things were produced with quality. If you pay $400 plus for a product you should expect anyone you pick up to work properly. The problem is consumers stopped voting with their wallet and just accepted mass produced product flaws. Is it going to happen with mass production!? Yes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold these companies to higher standards and demand quality.

[JamieL]

Cheap? I think you mean slave labor, and no problems with dumping toxic byproducts anywhere theirs room. Yep, it’s hard for legit businesses to compete with that, but who cares Sony4Life.
And BX81, I agree 1,000%

[OC_MurphysLaw]

With any hardware launch there will be issues. Sadly with the craziness of fanboy/console wars every little thing gets turned into a headline story. Its especially noticeable on a site like N4G where the lower tier sites post up a ton of articles.

[GentlemenRUs]

One person does not equal millions of people... It just makes me SMH too much!

[Malice-Flare]

that's a risk with slot-loading drives. i had this problem with a phat PS3...

i expect this with XB1 as well...

[Jovanian]

Glad I saved 400 bucks. Consoles are failing, barely any good games, the wobble, and now this?

Noooooo thanks.

[gamingisnotacrime]

"the wobble"

wow that is just reaching.

[BattleTorn]

The wobble is funny. But nowhere near a reason to avoid purchasing it.

[guerojose]

Dudes, chillax a bit. I make no secret of being a Sony fan, and wouldn't touch an Xbone. But the PS4 does have a few glitches. I've had the eject problem once so far, and display & power down problems. Let Sony gather the data & hopefully issue a fix. This constant speculation of .01% vs. 50% is useless. I suspect that a large number of problems stem from (1) hdmi sync issues (flashing blue light), and (2) ppl yanking the power cord cuz they don't realize it can take far longer than 7 seconds to force a shutdown.

[consolewarz]

The fact you have to qualify yourself through an announcement to the world that your a sony fan to avoid being chased around by the village idiots with pitch forks and torches, tells me there's something wrong with your fanbase of choice.

[JamieL]

It sure does, but let’s be honest, anyone out their crusading for any Corporation is nuts. There is no denying that the Sony bunch on here is a rabid group though, like you said not even known Sony fanboys can get away with bringing up a real problem with a Sony product without being crucified.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I'm starting to think PS4 is rushed. Especially to get a head start in USA to beat MS. I hope it's not true Sony ya'll too good of a company to do that.

That's why I think both Sony and MS should have waited til next year to release these consoles. Last gen consoles still selling good.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

Oh please. Nobody rushed anything to get their console out onto the market. Sony rushed the PS4 out to get a head start on MS ?

They didn't even know the release date of the Xbox One during that time. Sony announced it first and MS announced their's later on.

NO MATTER how much any company delay's their console, their will ALWAYS be hardware malfunctions on launch day. Their is no such thing as a perfect launch.

[VoiceMale]

Actually I agree with NoWayOut Sony was saying before ps4 announcement that they were no intentions for a new console then MS started a countdown to Around E3 2013 and soon after Sony had a reveal with no console in sight just a controller .....
Kinda gave a feeling they weren't really ready to for next gen so early..... to be honest a console launched not even a week yet having all kinds of malfunctions sound rushed to me
Just like Xbox 360

[beerzombie]

Xbox announced first

[rick0926]

...and my friends say I'm crazy because I'm one of the people who are going all digital this generation...

[Oagoz]

Here comes the media trying to make everything look way more serious then it is

[jacques444]

Oh wow another person in the world of a million plus consoles one thing goes wrong it's meaningless i'm sure there was so much wrong with ps3 and xbox 360 when it came out we just could not report it as easily as we can now -_-

[SmielmaN]

Boy with all the doom and gloom articles popping up for Sony I would be led to believe the XB one will have zero issues at all upon release.

My PS 4 is running fine and I have been using it a lot. I had a problem ejecting the disk, it was me not knowing where the eject button was cause I hooked it into my entertainment unit (or "city of wires, cables, and dust" as I call it) and just played. Instruction manual went back in the box immediately lol. I've been playing games since atari's river raid and figured I would figure it out. Which I did after 10 mins lol. Killzone is crazy graphics man, nuts. I got that and BF 4. So far killzone has hooked me more. Can't wait for my try at diablo3 for the first time

But seriously, is the XB one going to be that well built? Will they have any faulty units at launch? And what if it's a overheating issue???? :0!

[BattleTorn]

When will people realize reporting on Sony HAS NOTHIONG TO DO with Xbox One.

So one has to believe the Xbox One will have a flawless launch, without any failures - in order to post about PS4 failure.
Does one have to have an undying allegence to the Xbox brand, and hate Playstation, in order to report on PS4 failure?

We'll have articles on both. They're not written by fanboys from opposing sides.

And it's better they have them both.

Unlike some people who seem to have the understanding that PS4 failures articles should only exist if and only if the Xbox One has a perfect launch.

[iiwii]

But it's the same known Sony bashers and X1 fans who show up at these articles and bash hard every time. They are like stock bashers who troll financial forums crying the sky is falling and bashing the stock relentlessly to scare investers away and make them sell to create a price dip.

These people are usually employed by some entity for the sole purpose of creating FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) in the mind of would be buyers. Its a tactic, and yes there are people paid to do nothing but that all day long.

[JamieL]

@ iiwii
"But it's the same known Sony bashers and X1 fans who show up at these articles and bash hard every time"
And not the same Sony zealots acting as apologist for every misstep Sony makes without fail?
It can go both ways man, bottom line ALL FANBOYS SUCK PERIOD. The console "war" is such a waste of time for everyone involved. Embarrassingly enough I guess I have to include myself in the club as well. But I do like games, I don't have to have an exclusive allegiance to any Corporate entity to justify the pleasure I get from playing good games. Yet I still scroll these threads, I guess more out of habit than anything, but it's getting harder to have a decent conversion about games anymore.

[jimmyateham23]

Maybe the little robots that live in the ps4 control can help..

[Brix90]

I tried asking them for help but they just kept setting my hair on fire...lol

[jimmyateham23]

Maybe there is one stuck in the disc drive holding the cd from coming out.. Laughing

[iiwii]

@Brix

Haha. That made me laugh.

[ultralow]

had this issue i turn my ps4 back off and back on ..it came out

[speed389]

im having zero problems with my ps4 and i leave it on all day and switching between 3 diferent disc based games with no issues... the problems people are seeing online are only a few compaired to the million that sold. people need to chill out, $hit happens and it sucks for those that have a problem but its only a few

[JeffGUNZ]

True and it's too early for the failure rate to be determined. I mean it's been out less than a week. RROD didn't happen right out of the gate. I am more concerned for a years time, see how both consoles stand up.

[Donnywho]

RROD happened before they built the gate for it to come out of.

[WMANUW]

Simply, I can not believe it, they're just speculating

[Nartzee-Ninja]

The RROD karma has come to bite tenfold. I mean, how many problems can a product have in a week? I would probably feel sorry for you if it wasn't for the constant childish trolling and negativity the sony fanboys have given Xbox One adopters. Now before i get a ton more trolled disagrees, havent some of you got some great next gen games you should be playing instead.

[Monstercol]

According to imaxbot.Com loads of people are having problems with there ps4's so it MUST be true.

[MrPerfect813]

PS.04%

[Pogue1906]

How can it be 4% on launch date. 4% Sat and Sun, people still turning in the same issues, still 4%. Mon. more issues, Tues same issues plus new sticking disk issue and they still saying 4%. If you believe this, i got a strip of sky down here in Dallas i want to sell you. its only 4% defective.

[FreakyFox]

I would like to see a few videos with this happening to back up the facts.

1. You have people taking the PS4 apart on day 1 one, and they put it back together and things don't line up correct.

2. You have fanboy wars escalating rumours making it worse.

Lets see the facts.

Like they say " Screenshot , or it didn't happen" .

[Ma1nframe]

x BONE fanboys at it again. I call bullshit on this.

[Strikepackage Bravo]

Wow, the ps4 is a piece of junk! This is ridiculous, I feel bad for the real gamers that are being effected by this train wreck.

[kenshiro100]

Wow, what a pathetic comment. Seriously. Go run back under your bridge and grow up.

[Soldierone]

The problem is people go to the internet to complain, not to praise. Who goes out of their way to say "hey my PS4 is working like its supposed to" ?

Then you have fanboys and websites blowing it out of proportion even more, its ridiculous.

[kenshiro100]

Unless this is a widespread catastrophe, then I don't see the cause for panic. Things happen. There's no such thing as a perfect launch for a console.

[EximiusNebula]

All this PS4 issues yet I have no problem. Stop correlating one problem as if everyone has it.

Off Topic: N4G has too many articles about PS4 issues X, PS4 issues Y. Where are the articles about upcoming games?

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

At this rate Sony might need a Billion Dollars to turn this around...

[chaosdemon09]

No idea if mine has a disc issue haven't put a disc in it yet lol. I'm buying knack Friday so we shall see

[lifeisgamesok]

And they kept saying Microsoft was rushing to market

The truth comes out

And just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean your console is safe

It took the 360 months up to a year to overheat

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

ive had to pull the plug on my ps4 to get it to turn all the way off three times now. when i shut it down the screen goes blank but the with light on the system keeps pulsing and wont shut down. im a little concerned about this cause i no that i can destroy my hdd if i keep doing that. when i boot it back up it checks my hdd for problems. anyone else had this problem?

[OsirisBlack]

1. Do not yank the power cord as that is bad for the system.

2. There is nothing wrong with your system it is sorting files and preparing to shut down. The white light flashing is a good thing have a bit of patience.

3. Once you select turn off from the menu it can take up to 10 seconds for it to completely shut off. Walk away go do something else it WILL shut down.

4. The same thing happens if you put it in standby mode the white light will flash for about 7 seconds or so (processing information) then the light will turn orange.

5.Patience is a virtue, hope this helps.

Sorry but no that didn't help. It's not shutting down. I've waited over 10 mins to avoid pulling the plug but it still didn't turn off. Its not reading files its something else wrong. I'm fully aware I should not yank the plug out as I stated in my original post. I'm not using stand by mode the system just will not shut sown.

No idea then, I would suggest calling customer support. The first time you yanked the cord was it during an update? Just curious.

I guess it's just a miracle that neither me or any of my friends have had any of these uber-common issues.

hope the xbox doesnt have such problems. but its inevitable.

[Condemnedman]

I'm not sure what you guys expect. a lot of fools on this site have been rushing to attack the xboxone and post stupid stories like this one and now all of a sudden it's not Ok to post stories that are true no matter how small a percentage? Karma's a Bitch. if you can dish it out, grow. some balls and learn how to take it.

Trying hard to turn the PS4 into the next RROD console. Getting pretty sad. You guys keep writing doom articles, we'll keep playing. :)

[user6697483]

I'll wait about a year to buy either console to see how reliable the consoles are.

lol most of the complaints on ps forums are from guys with 1~2 posts

I may be old fashioned, but I've always preferred tray or lid based disc drives. These slot drives annoy me for some reason.

I have a YLOD PS3 in my cupboard with a copy of Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 stuck in it. I never bothered retrieving the game as I figured it deserved to be buried with the dead PS3...

I had the issue that it did not eject , but it was my fault I did not realize the game had downloaded a patch and was installing it so when I went to eject it got stuck ... I unplugged the PS4 waited 10 sec...... And restarted and the problem was fixed... Since I got my PS4 I've been running and playing for more than 14+ hrs a day.and no problems . The only game that had a problem was BF4 , after you start playing you get an error code . But that's EA has to patch the game... I got 7 games @ launch plus the free games you get with PS Plus, and they all work great . The the people that are having problems with there PS4 it's sucks and feel bad that they are .But there are Hundreds of 1000's PS4 out there that are working great . People on the internet are blowing it up more that what it really is........ The only console that I ever had a big Problem was the X360... I had to switch 2X's . Before I got a good one... And when I get my Xone I hope that i don't have problems . But it's a electronic device you never know

No one has said they are having problems getting through on the phone to Sony.

That's a good sign that there aren't that many failures out there.

[VanDamme]

I'm glad someone brought this to light! My f*cking ps4 won't eject the bag of flaming hot cheetos I stuck in it either...

wtf sony.

[GameScrub]

Happened to me with BF4. I tried ejecting it and nothing happened and then I tried starting the game and it said no disk on drive.

Luckily I just rebooted the console and then it spit out the disc. Just happened once though.

[Jack_Reacher]

Im sorry but this week I have read so much bullsh*t about the PS4 been broken and useless by xbots that come friday I will be such a grown up an scour the internet waiting for just 1 xbox misshap. then im going to plaster sh*t all over xbox forums.

You do realise Xbox owners that this is going to happen.

Just like thousands of others who will do much the same.

Its called reap what you sow. good luck.

[Belking]

That's one issue out of many it seems.

[shotime]

I am getting a Xbox one and I hope we just have 1% of problems with are consoles. But I do have to give props to Sony on one hell of a powerhouse with the ps4!!

[phatfreddy1978]

No trouble here next negative article, it feels that when these articles come out and I see more and more of them trying to highlight the bad of the PS4 which by now is getting ridiculous what's next "players complain that the PS4 looks better on the right side rather than the left side of the shelf? seriously.
