Hi Guys Not be funny,but my experience with the new console has not been all good. Ive spent more time trying to sort out error codes then actually playing any games. Day 1 -plug in,switch on,set up.(PSN,Intialise,network etc) Insert Disc- Nothing happens,no disc icon-zip Step one:update system software,restart Now reads disc,game loads-hurray Day 2- no problems Day 3- no problems Day 4 - Power on console from standby mode Check system storage,stuck on 99% Only solution I could find,boot into safe mode,Initialize Just lost my save file with game 60% completed Start over,setup etc. everything seems to work updates download in background while in game quit game,install updates Launch game- Error-Unable to launch application Is this what ill have to get used to on the PS4 console ? Just to compare PS3-Insert Disc,power on,Play-Simple,straight forward
My experience with the PS3 was: Day 1 - Power on system, firmware update, play game. Day 2 - Power on system, firmware update, play game. Day 3 - Power on system, firmware update, play game. etc....... There is an excessive amount of updates for Sony consoles and the slowness of their network drives me insane
wifi or ethernet you use? as to OP...could be the hard drive inside your ps4 has been damaged, most likely whilst transported from warehouse to shop etc
The system will only update once for the latest firmware. Clearly the OP has issues that he cannot understand, so perhaps rebuild the database or format to see if this helps? Otherwise you should ring Sony support.
Mind if I hi-jack your thread? I've had my PS4 for only a few days and got Last of Us on disc. Is the disc supposed to spin during gameplay? I thought it only did a disc check once upon launch and then the disc stops spinning. The spinning is somewhat loud. Not sure how it works, can you install the game on HDD or does that happen automatically? Afaik the console only installed an update, that's it. Also it's strange that I can still buy the game on PS Store although I already have it on disc.
Also playing last of us,game will install close to 50G on console before you can play,hardly hear the disc spinning when playing
Interesting, I think mine only installed a patch and then reads all from disc or something. Ill have to see what I can do about that.
