Nope! No external drive was plugged in at all. I avoided that after all the comments from game press folks about that last month.

Was playing Demon Souls last night and had my first crash in that game back to the PS Menu. Crashed a few more times, restarted console and tried AC Valhalla, which also crashed. From there, whole system crashed and wouldn't boot past the PS Logo Screen.

Troubleshooted with Sony including trying to reinstall the system OS via a USB and that even failed, with just a blinking blue light greeting me before the console completely shut off.

Believe I was affected by the rest mode issue that others complained about at launch, as I booted the console from rest mode to play Demon Souls, and my issues began.

Sony is now sending me the funeral box to ship it off for repairs. Anyone else go through this?

I understand launch editions of the consoles are buggy in general, but losing my saves because I didn't have PS Plus, and being out of the console for almost a month leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Don't understand why these sites don't use captchas on any of these orders. Just pitting regular users against bots/scalpers, who then post the console on Ebay for double the price.

Pretty frustrating when I'm getting diluted by ads from Sony.

And lets not even talk about my Amazon order for the Xbox where they said "hey maybe we'll get this to you by 12/31".

Can't believe the lines at midnight are better than this.

So it's been almost four days now and the only thing that's happened is the developer saying they ran out of CD Keys. This is pretty poor.

So I bought Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog about 9 hours ago and upon instillation received the error Failed to Contact Key Sever. Every other person who has bought the game today on the Steam Sale has received the same message. Basically, Steam has run out of CD Keys for the game. This is kind of ridiculous right? I mean I purchased the game, and I can't even play it. Am I in the wrong here for being a little upset?

Title speaks for itself. Got the ending spoiled for me from the Bombcast--not complaining, knew what I was getting into--and was wondering if I should still play the game? Was thinking about bumping the game down to easy and just cruising through it. Thoughts?

No XCOM is not about the story. You should play it anyway. Also, Borderlands 2 has a really great subplot about pizza spheres. Or maybe that was the bombcast.

Already played a bit of XCOM but lost my saves when I built a new PC earlier this month (Just goddamn save into the install location...). I need to play more of it but would rather get story focused games out of the way first if possible.

Right now I'm worrying about Sleeping Dogs and Dishonoured.

As someone who attended Sandy Hook Elementary and lives in Newtown, this whole situation is just awful. Everything.

So I just started my second year in college and brought my new gaming rig up. I built this thing back on the 4th of July weekend and it has been running great until today. I plug it in once I get setup in my dorm room and it just gets stuck at the motherboard splash screen during bootup. I've tried unplugging RAM, HDD to no avail, have unplugged the system and don't have any idea why this is happening. It is extraordinarily hot in my room but I don't think heat is the issue. Any ideas?
