Sonyium is not as good as Nintendium, but sometimes some units got lucky.

 

[platocplx]

Listen. My Fat PS3 fell off my dresser right on the power button side and while it was slightly separated. The damn thing worked for 5 years till it's just YLOD on me finally.

The PS4 is so stable it'd slide off to the side

 

[CHC]

If it was a Pro it would have put out the fire. This is why you don't cheap out, people.

 

[Lowrys]

The stablest

 

[NoKisum]

Shit, when did the PS4 start using Nintendium?

If it was an original Xbox you could just live inside the console and use the Duke as a garage.

Years of stability paying off.

My vita must be able to be run over by a tank at this point.

My brother's 32" CRT fell onto his SNES!!
Cartridge shattered, but the SNES was unharmed!

He gathered the cartridge pieces and taped it together, and Killer Instinct was fine!

 

[Bishop89]

And you all laughed about those stability updates! Now who is laughing!

"The PS4 was not turned off properly"

LMAO

 

[Saint of Killers]

This reminds me of the story of the OG Xbox which was shot at and continued working.

 

[strife85]

In the past? Sure. Nowadays? I'd say they're pretty even when it comes to build quality.

LMAO I remember that! I think someone Dad shot it! Amazing!

 

[Palette Swap]

lmao, that guy is great

 

[MinusTydus]

Meanwhile, my PS4 couldn't survive a momentary power outage.

"Oh God, the power was cut off for 15 seconds, GUESS I'LL NEVER WORK AGAIN!"

😔

That is horrifying

"The PS4 was not turned off properly."

Yeah, no kidding???

 

[deadfolk]

What they're not telling you is that it was the PS4 that started the fire because he tried to play God of War on it.

 

[Mexen]

Muh stabrity

 

[Kaswa101]

Lmao rock-solid stability

 

[DonMigs85]

Back in 2004 my house burned down as well, and all the consoles still worked despite their charred and warped plastic shells (PS1, N64, GameCube, SNES)

 

[HardRojo]

Shit, when did the PS4 start using Nintendium?

Click to shrink...

Some of it probably was accidentally spilled on Sony's machines at the production line.

I'm actually very scared about that right now. In the 3 weeks of lockdown in my country, we've had 4 random blackout in my area so far, in fact one was yesterday night. My Pro is virtually always on suspend, I only turn it off completely when necessary. If one of these days another random blackout happens and my Pro dies I'll really be sad. Maybe I'll just turn it off completely for the time being.

Next time do remember to turn your PS4 off properly, before you run screaming out of your building, thanks.

 

[Phellps]

The PS4 was probably running hotter than the actual fire.

 

[HStallion]

This will be a feature on the PS5

If it is a Trinitron that would constitute Sony on Sony crime.

small console-ation but it's something.

There is something funny about that error in the context that the Playstation is telling you to please not have a house fire again.

What actually is stupid is that PS4 will give that error message if you power it down from rest mode. For whatever reason it's designed so that you should first start up the system from rest mode and only then power it down completely. And for me at least that just doesn't make any sense.
