PS: XBone doesn't have this problem as i checked it thoroughly by playing on it without the discdrive being connected, worked flawlessly, and my three XBone consoles (XBone / XBone S / XBone X) are still running. I for sure won't ever buy another console from SONY anymore. SONY very likely saw the opportunity to earn some more quick bucks this way, as usual they took the chance.
#F1 2018 xbox Patch
My 1st i bought at launch but it died due to overheating issues, my 2nd i got a year later but it died due to a faulty motherboard, i bought my 3rd, 4th and 5th simultaneously at a Black Friday deal here in Germany but one died due to the discdrive pretty much rattling until the console stopped functioning completely and the other died due to the power brick exploding which made the wall in my room go up in flames, my 5th one had a malfunctioning discdrive from the day i unboxed it but it was functioning perfectly for digital gaming up until patch 5.00 was released. just to play digitally downloaded games.īefore the 5.00 patch went live everything was fine and many people were able to keep playing digitally downloaded games, but now you can't even connect to the internet anymore to get your console updated (error code: SU-42118-6). or buy yourself a brand new (or even used) PS4 system once again with the risk of another failure etc. pay over 50+ bucks to some private pawnshop to get a repairment (they usually charge over 100 - 150 bucks for more complex situations and the "professionals" in my city said it'd be at least a figure of 180 bucks to get my PS4 fixed), pay at least 99 bucks (apparently it's their universal price for all repairments) to SONY so they can repair it for you no matter how small the defect might be,

either repair it yourself (but most parts of the PS4 are locked to their respective serial number, so you can't just order random parts from the web and get it fixed that easily especially as the PS4 CUH-1000 series got very very very rare parts to find making the price climb up ridiculously high)
#F1 2018 xbox update
I only got digitally downloaded games in my library and no discs after having to experience multiple discdrive failures, but after system patch 5.00 was launched we can't use PS4 systems with a faulty discdrive anymore, as the console won't update if even "trivial parts" of the hardware, such as the LED's, for some reason are not reacting, meaning In all honesty, SONY are a bunch of greedy folks, PS-Support is a joke and quite mysteriously the hardware almost always seems to fail or break and shatter into tiny pieces right after the very small time limit of warranty runs out. Not really, imho they suck at building long lasting consoles (the lightbulb principle is very common in todays day and age to indirectly make the customers buy new hardware devices over and over again instead of paying once and being set for life), don't have stable servers (seriously, they get paid billions of bucks but are too stingy to actually use more and better servers?), offer bad game selections for PS+ (Indiestation 4), got less gimmick features than their competitors (no 4k discdrive / bad UI / internet connection being bottlenecked etc.) and are massively underpowered whilst being overpriced (XBone X > PS4 Pro). " READER BEWARE, RANT is ahead by a decade.
