My launch PS4 died in less than a year. The warranty replacement I got is still going strong.

What was its problem it had?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

You need twice the space of whatever game is updating. So if you have a 50gb game with an update, you need 100gb of space. But a 20gb game only needs 40gb of space.

The way the way Sony rep explained it to me is every time there's an update, the system re-installs the full game and deletes the old version when the new version is fully installed. That doesn't make complete sense, but it's the explanation I got.

Edit: This is what I posted in June after talking with Sony: So I contacted Sony, because I was curious. The rep said when there's an update, the system uninstalls the game, downloads the update and then reinstalls everything. For whatever reason, it doesn't give you back the space while it's doing that, so you essentially need double the space of the game to install the update.

Yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense but I have heard people say it was like this on ps3 to. I never had to worry about that on ps3 because games didn't have to be installed on the hard drive so it was a lot easier to not run out of space on ps3 then it is on ps4.

I think it started with the disc eject error then just died completely. Wouldn't do anything if I remember right. It was a while ago.

I did some troubleshooting with the tech guy on the phone for like 5 minutes and he said I'll send you the coffin. I got my new one in like a week or so.

I was aware that initial digital installations required double the space (temporarily) and yes - that's been a thing since the PS3 days. But the idea that it works like that with patches too completely blindsides me. That said, it definitely explains why I had such a difficult time downloading the most recent WWE patch on my old PS4. I had to clear off so much hard drive space just to install the damn game (120 GB for a 60 GB game), that I stopped worrying about it and re-downloaded some other smaller stuff after it finished. That probably put me below the threshold when it came time to download the update.

That's a really backwards way of doing things, IMO.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Weird. Mine's been whisper quiet so far.

Mine has as well. This is coming from a PS4 original style that I noticed was extremely loud and ran hot before trading it in.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I get needing double the space, but Overwatch is 15gigs. I definitely had space for that. Yet the system wouldn't let me update it.

But I'll try making space today.

Really awesome to read if so.

Gonna start my week long hunt for Skull gloves and whatever other names pieces I need. Already have the chest and holster with both great roles.

It was announced in the weekly state of the game. They didn't give specifics outside of the date.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Apparently a Styx sequel is being released next year. I have the first game on my PS4, but haven't played it. The gameplay from the new one looks like fun. Has anybody played the first?

For just a few minutes. Assassin's Creed gameplay but you're a goblin.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

So I take back my early impressions of the Pro being quiet. NBA 2K17 disc while in HDR was loud and the fan was working hard. I might need to put it in a better place for ventilation.
