im glad you guys put that thing about the PS5 being upright being a problem. I had my PS5 for just over a year (enough to be out of warranty) until it died. when I went to a repair shop it was apparently a CPU issue lots of other people had that made it so the console shut down when playing PS5 specific games. 260 USD later and its fixed for about a month but its always been upright and I bet thats why. going to keep it flat from now on,(reply>), @Aussie Shitposter sadly I don't think thats an option for me in the USA. I got in contact with them to try and get a refund due to the cause of the system failure (I got the system back from the repair 2 weeks ago) and they say the liquid metal thing is a "rumor" unless its directly mentioned by sony, which I doubt they will acknowledge and because my repair is done, I would not be able to get my money back. the person said this was the same as the Cyberpunk 2077 situation. Sony has lost my trust throughout this situation and I dont see myself buying a PS6 in the future due to how good Microsoft customer service is and the fact you can refund games bascially no questions asked on Xbox,(reply>), That’s terrible. In Australia that would still have been covered under consumer protections, which are separate from warranties. A company can’t just give you a warranty for 12 months and forget about it. A reasonable consumer would expect a PS5 to last at least 3-4 years, therefore Sony would be forced to repair it. I’ve had ram replaced after 2 years by asking the retailer to comply with our consumer protections, but if they refuse, we also have an Ombudsman that will speak to them on your behalf and force compliance.,(reply>), That really sucks but seems like the usual problems a small percentage of consoles experience. What really sucks is the one year warranty like wtf
