Damn that sucks. My ps4 screwed up once after my power went out once. It's lights just kept coming on but nothing loaded and no beeps. I unplugged it and then hit the power on button multiple times to drain the residual power in the system. I had to hit the power button like 4 times or so until it finally stopped beeping when I pushed it. Then plugged it back in and it booted and rebuilt the database and worked fine ever since.

I had a friends ps4 screw up so bad it was the original OS, wouldn't connect to the internet and wouldn't play bluray disks. I had to download the latest ps4 OS directly from sonys website and load it to a USB, boot the ps4 into safe mode, then installed the OS from the USB. Then it worked ok.

My ps4 almost overheated once when I was playing God of War, my cat decided to take a nap on it. After a while the ps4 sounded like a box fan. I don't let my cat on the ps4 anymore.

*fixed a typo*

I think the cooling system/fans are broke. It came back on a few days later and I played for a few hours and streamed some.. but tonight I let YT run for 2-3 hours and started playing a game and it cut off on me again. I guess I'll have to limit my playing time until I get a PS5. I'm not paying to fix it or get a new PS4.

my brother lend me ps5 for a week back in jan. mostly i played ghost of tsushima but it had sound glitch. it goes mute every 30 mins or so while playing. this is my game that played flawlessly with my ps4. im still not that eager to buy one if its available and maybe its too soon to tell but my brother is now convinced ps5 is not much better than ps4.
