PS4s become sentient; won’t let you keep that disc you want in their trays

Sony has made a video that all but confirms the PS4 is the first step towards an apocalyptic, Terminator-like future.

Okay, not really. But Sony has confirmed that PS4s will occasionally become a tad stubborn and will start beeping and ejecting discs without prompting. The video shows those affected how to fix the problem:

If you can’t be bothered watching the video, hold down your PS4’s power button until it beeps twice. Wait thirty seconds, unplug your console for three minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on. Voila!

Anyone actually encounter this in the wild?

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
