Ummmmmmm...yeah all day long. My PS4 was horribly loud and I followed an FAQ to disassemble and clean it. Since it required disassembly to the point of separating the heat sink from the CPU you need to clean the up the old and replace the thermal paste (which was crusty and obviously poorly applied when manufactured).

Lmfao, recommending replacing the thermal paste on a functional PS4 just because it’s loud?! I hope to god that’s an elaborate attempt at trolling. A word of warning to people considering this: don’t. If you somehow manage to do this without fucking something up in your PS4, it probably still won’t be any quieter.

Then you have some people they wear them when it's not even necessary like in thier car or walking by themselves with no one around. It's harmless but why bother when you don't need one?

for the record too i don’t mean to act high and mighty i know it’s some kind of generational pathology too great to describe while in the midst of experiencing and i’m just as complicit

“AVCLUB employee benefits package”

Cruel, but fair.

anyway ignore me or profit or whatever idc i’ll just read your replacement 

not like you really have another option right now, but, try to remember:

Their initial message was muddled. They’ve been pretty crystal clear since (see: blog update I posted) and people have continued to (I can only assume willfully at this point) misinterpret everything they say.

Again, I repeat, “you”, a hypothetical non-descript generalized consumer, cannot have it both ways. Either you want a console that plays “the coolest looking new games” or you do not. You cannot simultaneously demand wildly huge improvements over a previous generation while also demanding to have it at an infeasible…

As revealed in March, Sony is targeting the top 100 most-played PS4 games, ranked by playtime, for backwards compatibility, but the PS4’s catalog is more than 4,000 titles deep. According to Mark Cerny, the console’s lead architect,due to some technical restrictions, each game has to be hand-tested for PS5…

Look, I still don’t see how $599 was some kind of “insane” asking price. You can’t demand companies keep pushing hardware limits, giving you bleeding edge tech with unlimited teraflops and then also demand they do it for “As Seen On TV” prices.

It’s no longer 1991. There hasn’t been a issue with white plastic for over a decade now.

Haha its funny because I was disappointed that it wasn’t black. Then I was like wait a minute... don’t I have enough black consoles? 

Same.

eBay is loaded with 16 year old, used, first gen wii consoles that are still white.

Exactly! It looks like it can actually play a video-game. While I’m still going to buy the Series X, it looks like a slightly longer Minecraft block. 

SAME! This thing looks like an actual unique product. Fuck the haters. 

Hell yeah! My console collection has enough boring black boxes in it. This shit is many things, but boring isn’t one of them.

It is the most hilariously overdesigned piece of console tech I’ve ever seen and I am HERE for it. It’s like if Audi made a console. It’s like if Frank Lloyd Wright took a stab at an Apple product. The fucking thing has FINS for crying out loud! The only way it looks even more ridiculous is if it could do 0-60 in 9…
