The first death of the PlayStation 5 occurred even before the start of sales

A few weeks ago, Sony sent out the PlayStation 5 to industry media and bloggers. They have already published the unboxing of the console, talked about the implementation of backward compatibility, the benefits of DualSense, and more in their reviews. In most reviews, the console is praised, but there is some unpleasant news. One of the bloggers’ console stopped working, and this happened even before the official start of PS5 sales.

The sad news was shared by the author of the YouTube channel ACG Jeremy Peter (Jeremy Peter). In his microblog, the guy wrote: “From now on, my PS5 is 100% dead. I was having trouble restoring the repository as reported by other [users], but my problem escalated into massive errors, difficulty [connecting] to the Network, and turning on. We worked with Sony to troubleshoot when the console stopped functioning. Now I’m going to start creating PS5-related content that doesn’t need a console. “

The described problems are standard when launching new generation gaming devices. In the first installments, the scrap rate is always higher, so after the release of the PlayStation 5, more stories like this will surely appear.
